This morning's coverage provided a great Liggettism, but minus the Liggett:
"We'll see who's wearing what foot in a few minutes..." poor Al promised
us, but I blame Bobke. He had just finished spinning out a chain of
tortured metaphors (as only Bob can), and Al was just trying to be a
good sport. Or maybe he was trying to stop the metaphor carnage.

I haven't heard much in the way of Liggettisms this year. Could Phil
be getting old?

Rage away,

And I haven't heard Paul say 'suitcase of courage' even once... Maybe
I just wasn't paying close enough attention.

I think the guys are definitely slipping, though; they've gone entire
days without referring to the leader being 'resplendent in the yellow
jersey'.

Phil's got a lot left in the tank, but he is slipping.
He's misidentifying riders, sometimes even using the names
of riders who retired like 10 years ago. Paul gently corrects
him to keep the misinformation to a minimum.

Still, for me at least, it wouldn't be a TdF without hearing
Ligget make the calls at the sprints.
