Why Do I Love Lance Armstrong??

 
Armstrong ready for 'epic' finish

Why do I Love this story?

• Lance is American
• Specifically, a Texan
• Cancer Survivor
• Beating the French at a French sport
• 5 Time winner and in the hunt for the 6th Time which would be a record

But mainly I love this sportswriter’s grasp of history:

“Armstrong punched the accelerator with his trademark high-cadence rhythm, and the favorites fell away like the French defending Paris”.

 
Why can’t they put reporters like this in the newsroom?
