Add Bob Costas as an irritating commentator.

Those guys are awesome - I am sure you could sell MP3's of Phil making generic comments for recreational riders doing everyday rides.
As for lame - there is nothing much worse than any US hockey commentator.
As for good - the NBC winter olympic coverage - in particular the opening ceremony Canada montage was terrific.
I am looking forward to Phil and the Tour.

So this year will be interesting for me. It's the first time I'm paying for the satellite link to my dish which means no Phil, no Paul, just the sound of the motor bikes and crowd. I guess all these years I could have just turned the sound down but then I'd miss such "classics" (????) as "there is no other rider like him...the way he dances on the pedals then settles into the saddle" I'm convinced Phil has described every mountain rider in every tour with this, since Pantani.

People in the states love listening to English and Irish accents. It doesn't matter what they are talking about or whether they even know what they are talking about. World Cup coverage was incomprehensible yet sounded authoritative when they put the Brits on.

IMHO, the worst announcer in sports: Chico Resch (NJ Devils). Moron.

i think the reason that they don't know the riders is the same reason we don't, they are commenting off the tv feed and can't see the riders face until they get closer to the front/camera

While I do enjoy listening to Phil and Paul call a race, to call them the most dynamic broadcasting team in sports is a bit much. I would MUCH rather listen to Mike Emrick and John Davidson (or anyone else with him for that matter) call an NHL game. If you want to listen to a guy with passion for his chosen sport, give Doc Emrick a listen. Noone does it better.
Cheers,
Brian J.
