Halftime of the Florida-UCLA game gave Charles the opportunity to reflect on 1984 and what has happened since according to a CBS graphic...
And, then, Round Two came after Shaq (who was not there in studio) Tweeted to Charles about his opening salvo...
Words of warning...
Do not...
Ever...
Give Charles any ammunition to come after you...
Never...
Ever...
Never...

Lance Admits Some Stuff, People Still Pissed
((HT: OWN/youtube))
Shocking no one, Lance Armstrong's attempts at saving his own hide started on tape-delay Thursday evening with his interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Armstrong admitted he wasn't afraid of being caught. He claimed it wasn't "that sophisticated" a doping operation- not as bad as the East Germans of the 1970s in the five-ringed circus and their competitions.
Armstrong admitted to EPO "cocktails" and that while he was a part of the doping culture, he made no effort to stop the culture. He admitted that the seven Tours de France that he won were on doping episodes, but the 2009 and 2010 tours were non-doping tours.
Betsy Andreu, wife of former teammate and Armstrong friend Frankie Andreu, immediately went on the attack against the interview and what wasn't said as much as what was said. She appeared on CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360" and went after the entire interview and its content.
"It's hard to know what to believe now," Andreu said as part of the discussion group on set with Cooper.
More when we know more... and when CNN turns the Andreu segments- which are must-watch TV...
Here's Betsy Andreu...

The Reinvention Of Lance Begins
((HT: KXAN-TV Austin))
He sat down with Oprah for 2-and-a-half hours for an interview where he got emotional and, apparently, didn't go into any great detail...
But the larger impact of his Livestrong Foundation and legacy needed to be saved immediately if not sooner. All the good that idea had created was on the verge of getting flushed down the toilet forever if a tremendous amount of damage control didn't start right effing now...
And so it goes... the first steps are in Austin, Texas in front of Livestrong HQ
"I told her (Winfrey) to go wherever she wants and I'll answer the questions directly," Lance told the Associated Press over the weekend. Apparently, he got away with a jog and being a normal person until he got stalked by the media. Here's Lance saying that he never doped seven times in 75 seconds
