OLN Coverage - Thanks

I agree. I get tired of the old hens here bashing OLN all the time. I am
so thankful to be able to watch the race. It is great! I guess people just
would never be happy with anything and they just like to go through life
complaining all the time. I feel bad for those kind of people, but seems to
be lots of them here.

Enjoying the TdF to it's fullest....without being there.

There has been a lot of OLN bashing in this group regarding the Tour
coverage. Sorry, but I must disagree with you.

I remember the days before Armstrong, before Lemond, before the Web's live
updates and yes before dishes and cable. I remember having to go the
library, and having to turn to page five of the sports section, to see the
previous days stage results. I enjoy being able to turn on the TV any

time

of the day (or night) in July and seeing Tour coverage or other cycling
shows.

If you are so upset by the coverage, just turn off the TV and wait until
next months magazines come out to get the results.

Thanks OLN and please, keep up the great coverage!

While I'm thankful for the coverage, I think it was better when the Big
Three were the announcers and there wasn't so much spectacle. It was raw
and much less "polished" than now. Plus, I miss Bob Roll's comments.
Moreover, OLN has been Lance and Tour manic lately.

I agree. Does anybody remember the lame half-hour highlight shows
that ESPN 2 used to do after each stage? That was all we got. Plus,
there was never a set schedule, they were on at different times each
night so you really had to pay attention in order not to miss them.

You guys can complain all you want but OLN's coverage is a million
times better than the old days.

After thinking about it, I'm in complete agreement. If watching those
awful Cutters and listening to Al's funny questions are the price to pay
for so much good coverage, I'm in.

I couldn't agree more. Thank you OLN !!!

Loving being able to see the Tour.

There's nothing wrong with offering suggestions to make it better.

a fruitless hunt for a securely entrenched dictator and condemning
them to fight in what would be an unwinnable urban guerilla war, it

After a large glass of Knob Creek, I have to concentrate so hard on
seeing the race that I can't hear the announcers. Works for me.
