Anyone watching the TDF in the U.S. on the Outdoor Life Network? Do they show more mother f**king commercials than they do the race? David G Fisher

Just do what I do; tape the live show and FF through all the commercials and dull bits when you watch it (same for most programs,actually). Glad to have it though, warts and all. Remember the previous NBC/ESPN efforts, hosted by various airheaded football/baseball oafs, that were about 70% pre-produced fluff, and 30% actual race coverage? ;-) SB "It is absolute chaos on the roads of the Tour de France!" - Paul Sherwinism of the day - "David G Fisher" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:HyPX8.73367$[email hidden]... > Anyone watching the TDF in the U.S. on the Outdoor Life Network?

I understand that they probably have to run lots of commercials to pay for the rights to broadcast but that doesn't mean I'm gonna watch 'em. D.
I've been doing that on occasion. Still though, they are going to commercial break every five minutes. That's beyond ridiculous.
