Disgraced cycling champion Lance Armstrong has apparently decided to come clean about his use of performance-enhancing substances. So, who gets the exclusive? ESPN? Bob Costas? Jim Nantz? Surely a titan of sports journalism would be required for such a massive story, right?
Nope, he’s going on “Oprah’s Next Chapter” to cry and beg for forgiveness. Excuse us while we play the world’s smallest violin.
Lance Armstrong news nobody wants to hear is breaking so slowly & painfully I now expect him to say he's taking his talents to South Beach.

Lance Armstrong chooses Oprah for his first interview since being stripped of titles. Someone is angling for sympathy and a hug.

Wonder if Oprah will be as mad at Lance Armstrong for doing drugs as she was at James Frey for not doing them

The “no-holds barred” interview is scheduled to air Jan. 17.
