No, I meant in the course of the game. In tennis, every point Roger Federer wins, his opponent loses. Every game winning jumpshot Michael Jordan made, the other team lost.

I can't imagine you'd get very far in any competitive enterprise if you spent all your time feeling bad about that.

Lance Armstrong isn't a great athlete .. he's a cheater.

> Lance Armstrong isn't a great athlete .. he's a cheater.

Going off on a tangent now but...

He's a cheater and a lying scumbag, but you can't say he isn't a great athlete. He is in fact one of the best competitive athletes the world has ever known. Even a guy who rides the Tour de France once and comes in at last place fits in that category.

Also he was consistently beating other people using the same tactics as him over a long period of time.

Among other things, Lance Armstrong is kind of a legendary asshole. (See http://www.newrepublic.com/article/112031/lance-armstrong-do..., http://sports.yahoo.com/news/lance-armstrong--arrogant-and-u..., http://www.etonline.com/news/129267_Anderson_Cooper_Calls_La..., etc etc etc)
