Bob's very knowledgeable but what a buffoon. He fits very well in the prime time Versus racing coverage which is awful but perfect for American audiences I suppose.
I never miss Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen who I think are two of the best sporting announcers, anywhere.

He should replace Bob Roll.

Hilarious. This guy needs his own segment on Versus' Tour coverage.
Couldn't agree with you more Craig. Don't I owe you a beer?
Phil and Paul's Cycling Cliche Bingo.
Disagree. Bob Roll is one of the most honest, hilarious, and insightful commentators out there. He is also a HUGE supporter of practical bicycling and improving livability. Further, he is the first person in the media to stand up and bring notice to bike-hate, such as the case with Tony Kornheiser last year.
I also look forward to his tweets on twitter: http://www.twitter.com/bobkeroll
A Bike Radar forum, so brilliant. Not.
Bob Roll insightful? Buffoonish, definitely. Hilarious? We have a different approach to humor. One of the Best commentators out there? Compared to Al Trautwig, YES! Compared to any talking head sap on the Big Ten Network? Bobke's got some work to do.
Glad you like him; like I said, he fits right in with the American audience and VERSUS prime time, which is why I don't watch VS cept during the races and never in prime time.
Cheers.
Who's Tony Cornhighzer?
You can keep the Big Ten saps and "the heads of state dancing on the pedals!", I'll stick with Bobke. He's also done a lot of writing over the years, and it is indeed very insightful. Plus, by shining the light on Tony last March, I know he's got my back.

Tell me Bobke isn't awesome and doesn't have our back: his March 16, 2010 Beef.
This guy can call my races ANYtime.

Nice link.
