Oh, can we do Paul, too?
"dangling in front of him like a carrot or a strawberry or a carrot on a stick"
"he looked like a sack of potatoes, he rode like a sack of potatoes and now he’s peeling of the front"
(courtesy 'i saw elvis' on cyclingforums.com, I'm not 100% sure they're accurate but I am pretty sure I remember hearing the sack of potatoes one)
Seems like we had a similar thread about this time last year too.

Sure, we can add Paul.
Here are a couple I found online--
I do agree that an entire bottle of wine or champagne should be had when Phil says "squirrels," which always sounds like "squittles."

Here are a couple I found online--
Drink when either Phil or Paul say "he's hit the wall";
Drink when Paul announces that as a sprinter he was never good at getting over the mountains;
Drink twice when Phil announces that Paul was never good at getting over the mountains;
Finish your drink if Phil informs everyone that there has not been a true leader in Spanish cycling since Miguel Indurain.
Drink every time Paul refers to a rider as "taking risks", "enormous risks", or "incredible risks".
Drink every time Mr. Roll gets carried away w/ his Italian enunciation of rider names.
Group drink whenever Paul nails a race call -- as in predicting Hamilton would crash on the descent...

Yeah, I decided that drinking every time Phil and Paul mention Lance would be well beyond my drinking ability. "A spot of bother" definitely goes on the list!

Or - Phil says "Oh, I think that's (name) who just went off the road" to which Paul replies "No, I think that is was (another name)". If both were wrong then finish your drink.

Don't forget the Bob Roll side jabs at the French.
'The French have good teams but no good riders'
'The French are having a tough time at winning their own tour'
'The French haven't had a great rider since Hinault'

Take a sip of your beer everytime Bob says "Tour day France" - keep plenty of beer handy.
Finish your drink everytime someone mentions that Bob knows he's mispronouncing it.
Down a six-pack if Phil asks the audience not to write in about it.

"...completely and utterly..."
As in I'd be completely and utterly drunk if I did the drinking game!

"digging deep into the suitcase of courage" --Paul
I don't have the liver to play this game! I can't stay smashed the whole month of July.

First of all, beer drinking is not a game, and should not be taken lightly.
Secondly, and most importantly, all beer drinking starts and ends with pints of Guiness.
Third, if you happen to get hungry while enjoying your pint, eat an apple fritter. It's the only food that should be eaten with Guiness.

How about Paul mentioning a rider is asking the "engine room for more power"
"Touching speeds"
And when we reach the Pyrenese....forget it..."We're in Basque country"

Everyone one should shotgun a beer for the Robbie McEwen reference just before the Stage 1 sprint of "this man appears like he just took the invisible cloak off in Harry Potter" line...
