It was fun to see two great athletes compete. I was a little disappointed that so few fans showed up. Both stars were really fan friendly and more than happy to sign and take picts with the people there. Thank you to the Miller family for putting on the ToU and keeping the Jazz in Utah.

I Love D-Will

Stockton just wanted to be left alone, Malone wasn't exactly "fan friendly" from what I've heard, and Boozer is too busy prostituting himself to Miami and Chicago. Where would the Jazz be without Deron?

Re: I love D-Will

So true. You're the man D-Will. Please never EVER leave the Jazz

What??

I thouht Landis was a disgraced bicyclist. I never thought in a million years that Deron and Landis would be paired in anything. Why didn't they bring in Jose Conseco? Was Landis free? I bet you could have Greg Lamond for the same price. Is this a Utah thing? Mike Tyson would have made the trip from Vegas.

Jazz fan in DC

D-Will is THE MAN! What a stud! Class act.

D-Will

Rides a bike...........OH JOY!!

CJ3

What a competitor! Drives his legs to Jello-dom cause he can't even stand the thought of losing!

the stud & the rebel

confirming what we already knew, dwill is a total stud! i'm bummed i had to be at a dinner party instead of watching him time trial & posterize. check out his twitter page, for photos of the superstar point guard throwing flips... mind-blowing!

as for landis, if you watched his epic stage 17 solo breakway in the 2006 tour de france, you respect the "amish" rebel - no matter what. hope to see floyd ripping it up in competition soon...

D-Will LOST

He was given a minute head start in only a two mile race. He is SLOW. Still a stud though. Very cool he will do these events.

Boozer rematch

I would like to see the same race between Boozer and let's say, my little brother on his BMX bike. I bet you Boozer KICKS my little brother on the last 100 yards. Boozer is the MAN!

Jazz is going down, down, down if they trade him.


to boozer rematch

y for boozer can get hurt and sit the whole season

Miles

@Boozer rematch......You must be a BYU troll. The problem with a Boozer rematch is that Carlos would have pulled a hamstring on the last turn and quit the race and been out for the entire 2009 -10 season.

byu?

Why does a u fan have to bring down the Y in a jazz article? D-WILL is a STUD!

U fan?

You don't know that he is a U fan, lots of people hate BYU.

D-Will

D-Will is becoming my favorite Jazz player of all-time. Great player, cool guy...let's make sure he retires a Jazzman.

Landis fan

Glad to see Landis back in competition. Hated to see him using banned substance. I will give him the benefit of the doubt and presume he has altered his ways, hope he has a great career.

I did see stage 17/2006. One of the best moments in sporting history, just happens to be a sport that most American's don't care about.

Miles

I think we have heard the last of Boozer trades until the season starts next year. It's a good time to go on vacation.

This is pathetic: Deron Williams and the disgraced Landis. A new low for the Millers and their sports/etertainmentauto empire. Oh, and I walked into LHM Toyota the other day unannounced and "no one knew my name".

Rationality Rules

Landis is only disgraced amongst those who don't understand what really happened. he may have been guilty, he may not have been. The way that he was prosecuted will leave that as an open question forever. I personally don't think that he would be stupid enough to take a banned substance that offered no help during the tour but I can't prove it. Of course, I also think the French failed miserably in their attempt to prove he did. C'est la vie.

Scientists for Landis

There have been several articles in peer-reviewed journals now (including the esteemed Nature) showing how the test data for Landis alleged positive is in fact, inconclusive and probably instrument generated when his sample was measured (i.e. false data). Go read the articles, analyze the data yourself (online at Arnie Baker Cycling) and see for yourself that Floyd was framed by the doping agencies. Sadly, they got away with it and destroyed his career. I was in France for Stage 17. I rode hard that morning knowing the only way for Floyd to win the tour was to do what he did that afternoon. It was epic. My ride the next morning was full of adrenaline! That Sunday on the Champs Elysees with Floyd on the podium, well simply amazing. Go Floyd!
