Matt Lauer flipped off of his bicycle this weekend when “a deer jumped into his path.” Sure it did, Matt. That’s a much better story than what probably really happened: An old guy fell off his bike. Did anyone actually see this alleged deer? Lauer separated his shoulder, which sounds painful. He could be absent from the Today Show for a couple of days. I don’t know how America will cope. Not well, I suspect.

In other famous-people-falling-off-a-bicycle news, Lance Armstrong fell off his bicycle today and broke his collarbone. No deer are implicated in this one. And there has been no official denial of the rumor I am starting that Armstrong will be taking over for Lauer until the Today Show host is feeling better.
