Does Armstrong Have A Good Deed Left In Him?
The Hartford CourantI was in a sports department store last week and saw one of those yellow Livestrong wrist bands on a rack selling for $1. My dad died of pancreatic cancer many years ago.

The worst part of the Lance Armstrong story isn't the lying, considering more important people have lied more loudly. And it's not the cheating, considering bigger athletes to Americans have cheated. It's certainly not how he sullied the sport of...

After a fall from grace, time to consider Lance's rise
At long last, we know what we thought we knew is true. Lance Armstrong did it. The disgraced cycling icon came clean to Oprah about being filthy. We now know, for certain, that he juiced and doped largely throughout his record run of seven Tour de...

2012: A Year For Skepticism In Sports
The Hartford CourantWith varying degrees of failure over a decade and a half, I have used my Half-baked Jake, ellipsis-pocked humor for my year-in-review, year-in-preview column. For example … In the Year 2012, Gabby Douglas showed us that a squirrel could fly. In...Tags: Lou Gehrig's Disease, Chuck Pagano, U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, Punishment, Junior Seau

Jeff Jacobs: No Sympathy For Lance's Tour de Fraud
The Hartford CourantNobody on Earth could tell Lance Armstrong's story better than Lance Armstrong. Nobody on earth is less morally and ethically qualified to tell it than he is. Armstrong is a liar. Armstrong is a cheat. Armstrong is a bully. In the famously foreboding...Tags: Baseball, U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, Television Industry, 60 Minutes (tv program), Oprah Winfrey

Cubs' Anthony Rizzo feels thankful for many reasons
Sure, this is Thanksgiving, but Anthony Rizzo feels privileged every single day. Not just to be a major league ballplayer at age 23, a rising star at first base for the Chicago Cubs. Not just to be completely healthy after a 2008 bout with limited...

Keep secret Arizona money out of California politics
SACRAMENTO — Let's see. Maybe: "Money Launderers for Campaign Finance Reform." No, that probably wouldn't sell. Could try: "Tax Exempt Fat Cats Against Higher Taxes for School Kids." Nope. That one doesn't have the right ring, either. There's...

Lance Armstrong has new title: doping kingpin
Maybe the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency should have handled our nation's "war on drugs," first launched more than 40 years ago. It took 14 years worth of evidence, but the USADA knocked off a drug kingpin in Lance Armstrong.
