You can't even make this stuff up!

Now I'm confused...who are we talking about?

I guess it just reflects that a true narcissist never thinks they've done anything wrong.

"What is a sociopath?

A sociopath is a term used to describe someone who has antisocial personality disorder (ASPD). People with ASPD can’t understand others’ feelings. They’ll often break rules or make impulsive decisions without feeling guilty for the harm they cause.

People with ASPD may also use “mind games” to control friends, family members, co-workers, and even strangers. They may also be perceived as charismatic or charming."

I found this article by Joe Lindsey interesting: https://www.bicycling.com/culture/a3...spn-30-for-30/.

Watching this second installment I was overcome with bewilderment, which quickly morphed into a confused anger to the point I found myself yelling rhetorical questions at the screen; "What are you DOING!? My god, man, how can you not see the error of your ways!?"

Even his own loved ones did not know the depth of Armstrong's flaws. The cameras rolling as they learned along with the rest of us.

How could this gifted athlete -- someone so driven to be the best -- a man who has lived his entire life with two opposable thumbs, not have the capacity, the dexterity, the intuition to use a common vegetable peeler? So very disturbing.

Had this in my DVR since it aired and finally got around to watching it.
Very well done. Like him or hate him, this was an excellent 30 for 30

Did you watch the 30 for 30?
Very interesting 4 hours. Enjoyed the old clips.

It likely reflects my lack of morale fiber, but I respect that he really hasn't changed all that much and is not completely apologetic.

I think he accepts that much of the stuff he did was wrong, but it is what it is. Being soft and sucking up to the haters wouldn't change a thing.

Rock on #7

As an interesting side note, if you ask non cyclist if they know who the famous athlete Greg Lemond is, about 50% will say the Olympic diver. Try it.
