Why Roadies Suck

Landis hits rock bottom:

The really sad thing is that there are a dozen threads on
rec.bicycles.racing attacking LEMOND over the incident. Good for you,
Greg. And shame an anybody who is still supporting a sleazebag like
Landis.

Instead of watching the Tour this summer, I think I'll just cancel my
cable and go ride my bike.

Cable? You buy that ****? I'm disappointed in you.

Oh yeah, Landis can go pound Sandis. I hope LeMond's criminal charges
against the threat/intimidation work out for him.

What a mess. Very disappointing.

Primarily for the internet connectivity. But you're right about the TV
part: I'm basically paying $50 a month to watch Mythbusters and
Battlestar Galactica. I used to like having it for the 24/7 news
networks, but I don't even watch any of those any more. CNN/FOX/MSNBC
are all total trash these days.

I don't think I've watched anything on network television in years.

Same here but only The Office and 30 Rock for me. If I can get caught up on
Heroes maybe that next next season, too. Definitely no TdF for me this
year.

I've been hooked on Heroes all season. Finale last night. The day is
saved, but a new bad guy is introduced for next season. Lots of loose
threads. Typical.
Really looks great in HD though.

Yeah, me too. (hangs head in shame)
I also like The Office and 30 Rock. This is the most prime time I've
watched in years. I watch it all on DVR (DishNetwork) so I get to skip
all the ads. I can't watch anything in real time anymore.
I also second the Mythbusters recommendation. The new season is off to a
good start. Man, that ninja episode had me in stitches for the whole show.
I also like the RAVE channel with all that good music. Later with Jools
Holland is great. Austin City Limits and Soundstage are still good too.
MrsB likes the Food network cooking shows and that works out well for me
too (eating).
Oh, and the boy likes his Arthur (Not the drunken Dudley Moore, the
cartoon on PBS - he also can't tolerate ads, which I think is great).
