What is it supposed to be doing there? Is it supposed to be a wink, a wry 'I'm understating because you know that Patrick Taylor is THE MAN'? or something? But it also reminds me that all over England and Ireland and Scotland, I see this same locution--'Probably the best pub in Scotland.' 'Probably the best place to watch Saturday's football match.' I'm thinking, is it so hard or wrong to just say, 'We're the best!'? Is that 'probably' code for 'we're not boorish Americans'? I totally think it is.
