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. (Though some took instruction from the [censored] Cheney
school of manners.)

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.
