Found it on the Internet, got to be true.

OLN has moved swiftly to replace Liggett, putting former color-commentator Al Trautwig in his spot. Said Trautwig regarding his promotion, “Lance Armstrong. Lance Lance Lance Armstrong. Armstrong Armstrong Lance Lance Lance Lance. Six-time Tour de France winner. Lance Armstrong Lance Armstrong, Lance Armstrong.”


HAHAHAHAHAHA! I knew it would be a joke.

If it wasn't, though.. I'd probably stop watching OLN's coverage. Phil is one of the best commentators for ANY sport. So is Paul. They're the best play-by-play team in the business as far as I'm concerned.

I agree. I can't stand that third guy...
