People will complain about Phil till the cows come home but the fact remains the first time he isnt commentating we are going to miss him!il_pirata said:At the end of the stage today, Phil got a bit excited about the Rainbow jersey, as Thor rose up to celebrate, Phil exclaimed 'Both arms in the world.'
It's a tough job, but he really is a poor commentator and that's a reason why we love him I suppose!
dlwssonic said:I have been wondering for a long time is this phil liggett just a bad commentator or is he getting old.

Ninety5rpm said:Did anyone else hear him say today something about someone, I think Jens, "pooping" into the picture?
Bala Verde said:On Luz Ardiden, did anyone hear him say - when the Schlecks were apparently discussing race tactics at close to max effort while Contador was behind or in between them - something like:
"The Schleck brothers are having a bit of a conversation here. It's good that Contador doesn't understand English very well.[awkward pauze] Nor does he speak German for that matter"

Martin318is said:yep - I think Sherwen covered the fact that Contador DOES speak English by suggesting that they were speaking their National language rather than English or German.

sadfitty said:Paul did his tire pressure-BS again today. But the day's favorite from Phil: "After 16 stages of racing even I can recognize the riders". Good to see he has some self-insight
