Default OLN Countdown of Courage - WTF

According to OLN, Courage Countdown top 25:

#6 - Lance
#3 - Greg LeMond


Did they figure they were just over-doing the rest of their programming with too much Lance, and that it would look rediculous if they put Lance close to #1? But seriously, LeMond in front of Lance - WTF!?!?!?!?!?

Personally I would rather they ran back-to-back repeats of the TDF and leave all the other BS off the air. TDF 24/7 instead of some bone-head like a bull rider or paraglider who "chose" to engage in a dangerous sport versus LA who by all means did not "choose" cancer. - WTF is right!!!

I watched part of that show just because it followed the coverage of the Tour de France. To be honest I thought the whole show was pretty stupid. For example, one of the "athletes" on the list was a rodeo bull rider who had his face stomped in by a raging bull (replete with the clip that they put on the bull's nut-sack to enhance the bucking action). And he couldn't wait to get back in there and ride again. I thought; "is this really courage or is it stupidity"?

Being one I can tell this joke:

"Whats the last thing a redneck ever says?"

"Hey, watch this...!"

[QUOTE=homeycheese]Personally I would rather they ran back-to-back repeats of the TDF and leave all the other BS off the air. >>>>

I videotaped the entire TdF (yes, I have something like 20 videotapes full!) I knew I'd go through withdrawal after 7/25, plus I wanted to have it to watch while on my exercise bike.

I want to find out when the Lance Chronicles will be on again because I never got to see it, my family only let me hog the TV with cable long enough to tape the Tour.

You need the power of Tivo , no need for all those tapes.
