I today's twitter, facebook, etc... world, things happen fast. It's just about old news now. Lance Armstrong slammed him on twitter yesterday and many professional cyclist followed and bombarded ESPN on twitter, etc. Today Lance met with Kornheiser (Levi Leipheimer tweeted that Kornhoser - ha - got what he wanted "a bunch of attention and an interview with Lance"):

One day after being pitted against each other as bitter enemies fighting for their space on the asphalt, Lance Armstrong and Tony Kornheiser made nice-nice on the radio today.

Kornheiser apologized for last week's over-the-top rant against cyclists, in which he passed off a "run them over" suggestion as humor. And Armstrong, phoning in to Kornheiser's radio show from France, said he accepted the apology as "sincere."

Kornheiser, to the surprise of no one who has ever shared press box space with him, also candidly admitted that he hasn't been on a bike "forever and forever."

After a few minutes of Kornheiser pulling the tail out from between his legs the 16-minute conversation digressed into a dialogue about the power of social media. That was mainly because the attack Armstrong unleashed on Twitter seems to have left permanent skid marks on Kornheiser's psyche. "These rants are over, believe me," said Kornheiser, invoking his best funeral voice.

Kornheiser also admitted several times that he's "old."
