by Robert Ferringo - 07/28/2006

by Robert Ferringo - 02/09/2006

But like my father always told me: the best way to kill a hangover is to start drinking again.

Tour de France Betting - Will Lance Armstrong Go Out On Top?
by Robert Ferringo - 06/30/2005
Over the last six years, Lance Armstrong winning the Tour de France has been the surest bet in sports.
