What do you think of the show "FEARLESS" on the Outdoor Life Network channel? Many different diciplines of sports but somehow I get all choked up on how the athletes overcome, pursue, and deal with all the issues that are in front of them. Just by watching the shows I can relate to many instances in which the different athletes describe and say that "I've been there before" and that gets my blood flowing. Whats you're take on it?

I really dont like that show. Nor do I like any of the countdown shows that they do. All i like on OLN is the fishing shows.

All I know is OLN quit covering norba... screw those wankers. They also had some stupid blooper show that did nothing but made fun of elite, calculating athletes who had bad falls, wrecks, ect. I saw one where a guy, not sure who, was trying to do a huge step up road gap and just came up a hair short. No injuries or anything, just a broken bike and some great footage. The commentary on the show was something to the effect of "Look at this big goofball, I guess now he'll know better!!" ...like he didn't know the risks involved and was just some idiot in over his head. Infuriating.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

That show 'outdoor outtakes' or whatever, will have some MTB crashes and will have stupid backround noises like you'd hear on Tom & Jerry or something when they fall. "Boing" and whatnot. How stupid.
