Lance Armstrong finally cracked.
   
Not the way anti-doping authorities hoped or as disillusioned
fans wanted, while expressing deep remorse or regrets, though there
was plenty of that in Friday night's second part of Armstrong's
interview with Oprah Winfrey.
   
It wasn't over the $75 million in lost sponsorship deals, nor
when Armstrong was forced to walk away from the Livestrong cancer
charity he founded and called his ``sixth child.'' It wasn't even
about his lifetime ban from competition.
   
It was another bit of collateral damage that Armstrong said he
wasn't prepared to deal with.
   
``I saw my son defending me and saying, 'That's not true. What
you're saying about my dad is not true,''' Armstrong recalled.
   
``That's when I knew I had to tell him.''
