Suitcase of Courage

Paul Sherwen and Phil Liggett are THE standard in commentary and color for professional cycling, especially the Le Tour de France. They are both former cyclist and Tour veterans themselves. Whether they are talking about the weather or "Mellow Johnny", there is never a shortage of metaphors.
They use language as knife to expose the details that make up each race, each Tour. If you don't like sports or cycling, you'll still like to listen to these two make cyclists into legends, leaders into heroes.

A few of my favorites:
"My goodness me..."
"He's got it all, he's got everything"
"Up here in the mountains in the Rarified air..."
"A little drag race, but a painful drag at that"
"He's a broke man"

The net is full of their quotes, so search away, but be sure and see these guys just once to get the full British flavor of their commentary.
