When they showed Baggett with his shaved head and mouth guard in he remined me of the kid in the movie Deliverance who was playing the banjo.

silly nickname... To start a telecast explaining what a chupacabra is? I watching the show with family, I was telling them how serious these guys take the sport, how hard they train, blah, blah... Then we start the show with 'Blake Baggett is a chupacabra', everybody got a good laugh. I guess motocross isn't 'there' just yet.
I believe the true hardcore fans don't want it to be "there" yet.

Chupacabra is a Spanish myth, it is a strange animal or alien that eats goats and cows blood, leaving the dead body with no blood, i think they put that nickname to bagget because he kills everybody in tha races!

Horrible nickname. If it was a joke to get the word into the broadcast, then why is he still calling him that?

I think "HAMMERTIME" would be good, since he's always talking about "dropping the hammer" on his competition in interviews.

Geez man- these riders are actually paid to represent sponsors and be "spokesmen"? Blake could have stood up straight, taken out his mouthpiece and try to formulate some type of interesting response for Erin.
Don't the powers to be realize that they should give their riders a little PR training? Don't the riders realize they will be much more marketable and make tons more money, and have more sponsorship options if they can conduct an interview without sounding like they just got interrupted tossing hay bales off the back of a flatbed trailer on a farm somewhere?
It's not about the accent or anything. Just maybe show an iota of personality and everybody will have more fun, instead of having to sit through an interview like that. Blake is a great rider and probably a cool dude, but that was painful.

You're right. It would have been much better if he'd stood up straight, looked past the camera to a pitboard and said, "Sure, Erin, and I'd like to thanks Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki Thor Traxxas Parts Unlimited FMF Toyota.

Blake Baggett is an amazingly good rider, and winning is what he's paid for, but oh my, what a boring lad off the track. His interviews make C-SPAN exciting to watch.

The worrying thing is that the Kawi Monster riders (RV included) are getting PR coaching. All 3 Monster PC guys on the podium give for the most boring post-race and podium interviews ever. At least Deano is natural and has personality when he is interviewed by Matthes.

The best sleeping medicine would be listening to podium interviews of Baggett followed by Tickle, the first guy gets you to sleep, the second one puts you in coma.

The need to change something at Monster Kawi with their PR coaching, add some spices, get some David Guetta in the background, teach them humour, show videos of Reed, Windham and Jason Lawrence...

Bagget might want to lose that nickname ASAP! After a quick google search:

"In July 2010, an animal was killed and reported to be a chupacabra, but found to be a coyote with a severe parasite infection. In October of that year, University of Michigan scientists theorised that parasite-riddled coyotoes (specifically the parasites responsible for scabies and mange) were likely the basis for the chupacabra legend"

Being called a "Cobra", or a "Zulu warrior" might be cool. Being called a parasite infected coyote... not so much.

No, senor. That peecture ees not the dreaded chupacabra. The chupacabra, he ees not seen by anyone. He ees so stealthy he creeps behind the flock at night and the goats, they do not see heem. The goats theenk they are safe and everything ees fine, until the chupacabra suddenly strikes and sucks the very life right from the goats, leaving them wasted behind heem. Thees ees why Senor Baggett has been named El Chupacabra.

How about Bilbo Baggins from Lords of the Ring? Baggett is certainly carrying the ring right now!
