He revealed a measure of the man that he is and this much is certain: If you never met this jerk, well, count your blessings. Defiant, distant, difficult.
Arrogant, unaware, flippant.
Oh, Lance had a plan to try to look open and honest, and that was what was so obvious: It was a plan. It sounded rehearsed. But when he went off script, well, that's when he went off the rails.
He apologized, and that's worth something, worth a lot to those of us who aren't outraged anymore over doping in sports. But in doing so, in tuning into the Oprah Winfrey Network, you could only marvel at that personality on display, the same one that while we celebrated his victories was, behind the scenes, leaving a path of personal destruction in its wake.
This was a glimmer of the true Lance Armstrong coming out. No Nike commercial edits. No press conference sound bites. No glowing magazine profiles. This was the guy who left scores and scores of people cursing that their paths ever crossed.
It's not about the bike, indeed. This was about Lance's sociopathic spectacle.

Top-ranked tennis player Novak Djokovic was even more succinct in his judgment, saying at the Australian Open that Armstrong "should suffer for his lies all these years."
Veteran cycling commentator Phil Liggett hopes Armstrong divulges more detail of his doping operation in the second instalment of Winfrey's two-part interview.
"He's gone halfway, he's told us he took drugs, he's told us how long he took drugs. He swears categorically he's never taken drugs since '05, since his comeback period. But that's all behind us now," Liggett told Australian Broadcasting Corp.
"Where did he get the drugs from? Where did all the big money go to pay for those drugs? Because it's very, very expensive to buy EPO. Who gave him the knowhow, the wherewithal to do it?"
Journalist David Walsh, whose articles and books had detailed the American cyclist's use of banned substances, agreed the interview did not go far enough in revealing details of his actions.
"He has to name names ... he is probably the biggest cheat sport has ever known," Walsh said on the BBC.
