The saddest thing about that to me was seeing that Scott Adams has been reduced to little more than a social media influencer.

3) Movie quotes are faux pas
4) Neither Weiss or AGer were pushing if they could (A) talk shit or (B) Display any physical aggression.
5) 4th grade school yard insults are still effective
I do have to ask... Who would ever admit to being punched by a pro triathlete? I'm 180-185lbs and would NEVER admit that a 155lb noodle punched me. Matt Hanson wrestled so there's the anomaly but come on really? Dope or no dope that isn't happening.
The AG'er in question looks like more of a noodle than Weiss.
Well then...simple math tells us that two noodles cancel each other out and this thread is null.

I see a guy who deserved to be chirped and a guy who deserved to be punched. Love both of them. Sometimes fighting IS the answer.

Not all male pro's are tiny little dudes and there have been some epic confrontations over the years.Hell even some of the female pro's looked like they could hold their own in a bar fight against age group men.

I think in life we need to appreciate when a total stranger tee's one up for you. I want to respond to this in a completely different and tasteless manner but it's only Tuesday. I just hope you know your effort is appreciated and hope someday we can sync up on another thread under different circumstances.

Man,everyone is so serious around here these days.I've been around the sport a long time and have been in plenty of bars and clubs at post awards after parties when people still partied hard in this sport (especially in the '90s).I know a lot of the old school pro males and females,have shared my fair share of booze with them and can tell you some of them are hard as nails.

Why does everyone have to appease the Slowtwitch crowd to be vindicated?I'm a week late to this thread but he doped. He has to expect a backlash. Same as if I saw lance. I'd call him a doper too.
If they want to then punch on, maybe they need to have not doped. Also if they want to punch on, they better back themselves, just incase they punch on with the wrong person and end up knocked out.

To your point, if we put the current world champs in a cage, I think Ryf mops the floor with Lange.

But, Lange always has his domestique with him for the swim & bike, so if he's got his wingman with him, then I'm not sure Ryf can take them both out.

Garrett McFayden, Bryan Rhodes,Jason Shortis and Lothar Leder. were just a few guys I would not have wanted to piss off back in the day.

My own view is that he should be burned at the stake like middle englanders used to do with witches.
Same should go for Weis actually.
And Vino.
And lots of others.
For me... I'd have hit him back - a lot harder (no witnesses rememberš) and I'm a lot bigger that him, even with his life long cheating barsterd doping gains.
And so you think doping is worse than burning someone at the stake and intentionally committing a battery against someone? Quite an interesting ethical standard you live (and judge others) by....

Bryan Rhodes was always looking for someone to have a row with. I had a few with him back in the day.

She's the female figurehead - I'm sure there are many 'nice' pro's and AG'ers out there doped to the gills flying merrily under the radar. Hence it can be confusing when you meet them - I'd love to work out the psychology behind their decisions. Did you expect some shifty-looking yobbo?! :)

Mike Pigg was a granimal also. Maybe Pigg vs. Armstrong? Not debating Lance's 7 VICTORIES. Just saying back in the day that would be a great match up in the cage.

There are sooooooo many funny ( and some not so funny) stories about the pro triathletes and assorted hangers-on from back in the day.It has been suggested many times that I should write a book about the shit that has gone down over the years but it is one of those things I could never bring myself to do.Some things should stay "in house" and the rest are best told over a few beers.
Rhodesy has probably provided more than his fair share of hilarious stories but he isn't alone for sure.
