Honestly, what did we say? The All-Star Game was a boring, prolonged lovefest for Yankee Stadium — something we’ve had plenty of already in New York this year — hosted by a dude who doesn’t even really like baseball.

At least Sheryl Crow showed up, because at some point Sheryl Crow became the official chick-rocker of professional sports. What was the last major sporting event she wasn’t at? Maybe Sheryl Crow’s just a really famous groupie, albeit one we must begrudgingly admit has some talent.

The best part about Crow’s presence is it let us slip a Lance Armstrong joke into today’s episode, which you can watch by clicking that play button the video on the right. Maybe the no-balls thing was a cheap shot, but Lance Armstrong’s slow and steady fall from grace has been one of the most hilarious developments in a sport full of liars and cheaters and hilarious developments. It turns out every single person who has ever gotten on a bicycle has doped in some way or another — from Armstrong to Floyd Landis to that Jamaican dude who rides around the city pumping reggae from his pimped-out cruiser bike.

The troubling thing is that everyone seems to think Lance Armstrong defeated the odds to win all those bike races. Beating cancer is great, but don’t tell me that having one ball is a disadvantage in cycling. Have you ever even ridden a bike? The hardest part, by far, is figuring out how to manipulate the family jewels around that horribly uncomfortable seat. So we’re all proud of Lance Armstrong for beating death, but not for beating a bunch of other druggies and lying liars in a stupid race that no one outside of Europe cares about.
