The eli segment on pulp a few weeks ago was hands down the best Eli interview ive ever heard. I credit a lot of that to Phil for getting stuff out of eli.

That interview alone cements him as an awesome podcast guest and/or co-host. The Philisms are just the cherry!

PhilismsGrinningGrinning good word for that. Phil needs to start an UnPhiltered podcast and have different riders on.

The guy is hilarious, I love the no shits given attitude. He brings the best out of Steve, who by himself is kinda lame. Not trying to be an ass, but Steve is much better when dudes like Phil are on his Pulp stuff.

He'd be a great technical liaison for the broadcast as he actually knows what the hell he's talking about unlike most pro's.  Hell he could probably be a crew chief for a team or maybe even a team manager.  No matter what he will be sorely missed and it will be fun to see where he lands and I just hope we get to see him again sooner than later after the last SX

A little bit surprising but Phil had a great career with lots to be proud of!

Well done Phil, hope we still get to hear you in the media!

Remember watching him wax everyone at Claverack, NY maybe 20 years ago just after turning pro. Ride on Phil!

Not only a NFG attitude which, as an Australian, I love and relate to, but a seriously underrated rider regarding his intellect of the sport.
 

When he speaks on PulpMX stuff I listen to, I find him fascinating and actually educates me further. 
 

As a fan, I’ll miss the cranky prick.

He will be missed. Hopefully he still stays involved in the sport.   
Glad my son and I got a picture with him this past weekend at Foxbourgh

The guy clearly has a strong (and chaming, lol) personality, but quite frankly, from Europe, it's a bit hard to understand the Phil phenomenon... 

Wish him the best for his next moves!

Love me some Phil and know he will be staying in the sport. He loves helping the younger riders.
