Like I always say on these threads, you kids don't know how good you've got it. Anyone complaining about Liggett should be subjected, Clockwork Orange style, to a dozen consecutive hours of Sam Posey and Al Trautwig, with color from Pierre Salinger.

I watch every minute of the TdF and have for years. I love Phil and Paul. I could care less if he misses a call after sitting in a trailer watching a small TV monitor and calling a race for 4 hours when the winner won by 2 inches while going 40+ mph. Good grief.

So I'm realizing there is something in Liggett that's annoying me. He keeps interrupting the Moto dude by shouting at him, thereby cutting him off. It's really annoying to hear these guys shouting over each other, and have Phil continually interrupt him "EXCUSE ME STEVE EXCUSE ME I SEE MARK CAVENDISH SHUT UP FOR A SECOND HOLD ON". He's done that repeatedly, and it's getting to the point where I cringe when that guy is talking, expecting Phil to all of a sudden break into his report with unnecessary shouting.
BTW, I think NBC got this one right, putting a guy on a bike to report from inside the race. Really digging that.

"In the marshalling yards and the trains are lining up in front of the peloton".
I like it. Pure carny barking, lol. That's why the man gets paid.....for hyping the sport.

Great job on the mic today.
After trotting out a win for Peter Sagan and espousing his greatness it turns out that the crafty little wheel sucker Gerrans (after a great lead out from his teammate) pips him at the line to win another stage of the TDF. Which is pretty much what I saw as it was happening. And Paul wasn't jumping on the bandwagon either.
After totally screwing the pooch the best Phil can come up with is "sometimes dreams do come true". Is he shilling for Disneyland?
So I'm going to wish upon a star that this dottering Lancesucker gets strep throat this evening.
