Lance knows talent when he sees it

Lance Armstrong is impressed with this Floyd Landis guy and he doesn't care who knows it. Shit, he thinks so much of him, he's even considering inviting him to ride for Lance's Discovery Channel squad, where Landis once toiled as one of Lance's minions in the early part of the decade.

"We've always been interested in Floyd, he's a damn good rider," Armstrong told reporters yesterday. "We would take Floyd back. We have pursued him for some time now."

Floyd must be so honored. I mean, Lance Armstrong knows a talented rider when he sees one. You can't fool Lance, no way, no how. A guy wins the Tour de France, Lance thinks to himself, "Lance, that guy who just won the Tour de France... that guy can ride... he should be riding for Lance."

In other news, Lance also announced that he's starting a baseball team, and that he's interested in this guy Albert Pujols from St. Louis. Thinks he's a darn good player and would be happy to let him play for Lance.
