Case No. 12, Lance Armstrong From the Page 2 mailbag |
Cyclist Lance Armstrong has just won his third straight Tour de France, and the road to all those yellow jerseys hasn't been easy. Page 2 feels a guy like Lance deserves nothing less than a catchy nickname. After we opened another case of The Berman Files, readers flooded us with over 3,000 suggestions for our spandex hero.
"Tour de Lance" Samuel Kim Cerritos, Calif. Lance "Only the Armstrong Survive" Ranjit Shiralkar Boston "Sir Lancelot" Coming back from something not many would even survive, much less compete and win, makes him worthy of the namesake and a spot at King Arthur's Round Table in cycling Camelot. Sean Moriarty New Jersey "Second Chance Lance" Jasen Deniz Oskaloosa, Iowa "Lance Armstrong Like Bull" Ever ride a bike up hill? Matt Mense West Hartford, Conn. "Backwards Glance Lance" He need only peek back over his shoulder to see the rest of the pack. Johnny Gold Austin, Texas "The Postman" Through any kind of condition, Lance always delivers. just like his sponsor, the U.S. Postal Service. Mike Hobbs Kadena AFB, Japan Lance "Stretch" Armstrong In honor of our favorite childhood toy. He's always good down the stretch, and no matter how you try and discontort him, he'll bounce back. Jeff Graham Atlanta, Texas Lance "No shot in the" Armstrong He has disproved all the accusations concerning his use of performance enhancing substances. Eric Doskocil Columbia, Mo. Lance "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" Armstrong Phil New York "The Tourminator" Reid Scher Windham, Maine "The Legend of Biker Lance" Mark Alexandria, Va. "Ava-Lance" When you're in the mountains, get out of his way. Steve Chambers Shoreview, Minn. "The Prince Of Pedal" Aaron Bond Lexington, Ky. "Vive le Lance" Allison Florida Lance "The Postman Rings Thrice" Armstrong Bill Liddicoet Marietta, Ga. "The Man in the Yellow Shirt" A little homage to Curious George, because he wears a yellow jersey, and he has a pet monkey... or wait.. well he wears a yellow jersey. Bill Kennewick, Wash.
