  1. Did you hear that idiot big Al slam Bob about some of his cycling facts?
    What a dip! Help?????? Is there someway to get this guy out of here? I like
    to watch it at night too so big Al has to go!!!!!!

    B-

  2. I agee, he's an idiot! If you're going to commentate on a sport that you
    truly know nothing about.....study up! His comment today about Lance
    getting 20 secs over Basso because of the stage win bonus is just
    frustrating. Let Bob take over, fire Al, and pick up another retired
    cyclist (as long as it isn't Greg!). Maybe have Bob as the prime, and have
    a series of guest commentators. I'd love to see Bob and Robin Williams
    together. That may be a hoot! There are plenty of great retired cyclist
    that may be willing to do a guest spot.

    Hey, why not Greg? Put him on the spot as an announcer if he wants to
    jabber away, put it to good use. If he starts going on about how
    everyone is on dope, well, he'll have Phil, Paul and Bob to throttle him.

    Robin would be better because he would just be funny and not look like a
    total fool by talking up his ass about cycling facts he knows nothing about.
    Worse, what bothered me was when he tries to correct Bob. Pleaseeezzz...

    Why isn't Greg doing these gigs? He used to do a little of this in the old
    days? At least I don't think he is stupid enough to start that [censored] with
    Phil and Paul.

    Maybe, as others have alluded, he's living in the past and feels his
    reputation is threatened by the next generation of champions. Kinda
    curmudgeon like in some ways....
