If I was the producers of the mx shows I would be pissed off about using airtime to do this inside joke, word of the day BS. by definition, an inside joke, is not funny to anyone but weege and whoever he bet. And if I was Baggett I would be trippin on it definitely. So on an inside joke Weege saddled that dumb nickname on Baggett? not very professional at all from a sport caster.

And what's with all the complaints against GL and Weege? You want to hire a race horse announcer to call the races? What is your ideal announcer? I guess they could always hire Ralph S.
I thought the "one way ticket to endo nesia" and the "Tomac almost having to file a claim on the Geico bike" were funny and informational. And what was wrong with them calling the outer berm the crown moulding? I guess I don't get it. Just complaining to complain maybe?
I think it's funny as hell and lightens up the mood a little while flexing a little verbal ability. All good things. I think it brilliant! As stated above, if we weren't hard core fans of the sport we wouldn't even know what was going on....
BTW, I like that term. Mind if I use it in the future? lol
That makes sense now, JW said it about 10 times in the second moto.
I thought it was funny. remember they are calling dirt bike races, not making a speech at the United Nations.
It is after all, entertainment.
and that's saying something considering all the wonderful Ralph-isms we've had the last 5+ years

For real some of the NFL and MLB guys are so boring. Al Michaels sounds like a librarian. Joe Buck is another yawner. It's cool we have an announcer along with Grant who likes to have a little fun!
Not that anyone does or should care but my other favorites are (Bob Cole-NHL, Nick Harris-MotoGP and Ian Darke-EPL) Oh and I like Ralph too btw !
Even better: Hire the guy doing commentary on the GPs.
