Around SBN: NFL Players Ready To Welcome Gay Teammate

I found this interesting. I must admit the ideas of repentance and renewal are appealing to me. His stance on banning people caught doping is interesting considering the team's philosophy is to give riders a second chance.

Seams like this guy has a multiple personalities disorder!

He was about to give Rico a third chance, and he is also for life time ban, after the first doping offence!
Strange owner, strange team!

Its not the renewal and redemption aspects that bother anyone.

Speaking only for myself, it’s the random bursts of hypocrisy, credulousness, controllingness (e.g. the Ricco offer) and the presumption that so long as one mimics the trappings of a traditional life, all will be well, never mind the actual situation (e.g. the Ricco offer).

I don't see it the same way.

Ricco said he was clean, they said “prove it—keep where we can monitor you.” That’s neither credulous nor over-controlling, in my opinion.

I’ll need Contador’s compact, a Y chromosome & nutella--Bridie O'Donnell, on what it's going to take to get through Stage 3 of the Giro Donne
