Not sure about that, but I do put Bob Roll forth in as the Don Meredith, sans the "Dandy" part.

Watching the opening act to Stage 2 coverage I saw everything to love/hate about P&P. Phil simply couldn't get his pick to win out of his mouth, stumbling through the whole Matt/Mark/your pick/my pick thing, Paul pulled him through the difficulty, then they graciously deflected a line of commentary without coming out and saying Tyler Farrar doesn't quite have it, and moved on to do a good job of recap and travelogue for a while before the racing action and halfzheimers kicked back in.
