It is MY GOAL

to have “positives”

in “commentaries”…

THIS ONE--“an exception”…

I will talk about

two of the GREATEST

athletes EVER---but

a pair that DID NOT

come through in

non-athletic ways...

Lance Armstrong---AND

Michael Jordan…

Armstrong---“seven-time”

winner of the Tour de France---

“the EPITOME” of EXAMS

---“physical” and “mental”…

Jordan led the Chicago Bulls

to SIX N.B.A. championships…

Five times--he was “MVP”…

Jordan and Armstrong were

“unquestionably THE BEST”---

But they “bother me”…

Teammates SWEAR

that Lance used “performance

enhancing drugs”…

He keeps denying… like

Pete Rose, who claimed---

"I didn't gamble

on baseball"...

Armstrong's wife

“raised” their three children---

and “nursed” Lance as he

“overcame cancer”---Armstrong

DIVORCED her…

Sheryl Crow---the singer---

became Lance’s girlfriend…

But Crow got “dumped”---as SHE

began treatment for cancer…

As for Michael Jordan,

no athlete has EVER

had such “clout”… In

his Bulls heyday---MJ

could’ve “twitched a

finger” and Hollywood

would’ve come running…

DITTO---“political powers”

in Washington… and

the TITANS of Wall Street…

Michael could’ve built

“ENORMOUS things---to

benefit MANKIND”…

Jordan “took a pass”...

It's a "free country"

but I think he BLEW

"a unique OPP"...

Bill Maxwell, a powerful

African-American journalist,

said "Michael did nothing

for HUMANITY"...

Armstrong AND Jordan---as

athletes “BIG HEROES”---

as human beings---

“not so much”…

I’m Hubert Mizell, and that

IS what I think.
