Eternal optimism isn't always a bad thing. Phil played his cards well. I never really knew or cared much about him until his Giant bomb at Night appearances and he seemed legit during those some 7 or 8 years ago. Considering the clout Jeff from from GB had, Phil got a little of that by proxy from my perspective.

My exact same thoughts. Still like him more than Don Mattrick.
