I just noticed this channel. It's called "Outside Life Network"
For the last week, they've been showing the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain (which apparantly is going on right now and is not merely one day -- God I've got to get out of this country one of these days) at nights, which showing the Tour De France during the day (BORING)
The running is 1/2 mile long and I've seen it take the bulls anywhere from less than 3 minutes (on a very clean run with no injuries) to about 15 (where the bulls get separated from each other, freak out, stop, and actually hunt people) to get from their pen outside the stadium to their pen inside the stadium
It's so friggin cool. They show the entire race, then they show a slow-mo replay with all the maulings, goreings, and tramplings. They keep a running tote of injuries and deaths. Yes, they show the deaths. They showed a guy get gored in the stomach and pinned against a fence. The said he was dead before the race ended.
They just showed highlights from yesterday, and now a now there's another one about to start. I'm so excited.
Now they're showing the "tale of the tape" of the bulls with all the bulls' cool names and weights and who is sponsoring them.
I can't wait for the rocket to go off signalling the start of the race.
