They need to send that varmint to Monster Trucks.

We need a soothing voice, not an irritating one.

I know, what about Belinda Carlisle ?

Did you see/hear him at LA? During the Canard/Morais incident? Absolutely ridiculous. The guy needs to go.

They didn't leave because of his announcing. He said People are leaving our section cause its too loud.

You are down on the floor working so you don't get the full effect of him YELLING for five plus seconds at every start. What gets me is he's actually a good announcer but this WWE circus carney announcing isn't IMO appropriate for our sport.

Monster trucks...yes....professional SX and MX....no way....I mean NO WAY.

I think he should change his name to CHURCH and his sermon should be at a whisper.

Or, what about that weird horny chick that was on Big Brother Season 5 ?

Or that annoying scrawny dude from Survivor Season VII ?

Apu from The Simpsons ?

Bishop Desmond Tutu ?

It truly is embarrassing. He makes NASCAR look too sophisticated.

It's the only time that I feel like I want to distance myself from a Supercross race fan.

I was BUMMED at Hangtown last year when he was on the PA there. I thought after 17 races "it was safe to go back into the pool"

Gibby, I wouldn't say people were leaving my section but there was a lot of talk from the fans around me on how obnoxiously loud he was. (That includes both Anaheim's and Dodger Stadium)

To be honest, I really enjoyed the floor announcer they had at the Monster Energy Cup. I was hoping he was permanent to replace Lurch.

I never understand why they have to use excessive PA sound levels at SX.

He is a really cool guy though and has loved the sport since childhood. He also does the wiegh ins at the major BASS tournaments and is pretty reserved on those mics. I wonder if he is being coached to sound like monster truck madness.

I'm sure he is being coached by Feld, and I've heard he is a good guy too.

The cool thing I heard about him the other night was that he busts his ass as a plumber during the week and announces SX as a side gig. Talk about having two jobs at different ends of the spectrum...a day job where nobody wants to see him to a weekend job where he entertains thousands.

He is a good announcer but Saturday night at the Q was just over the top loud.

It was so bad I wished I had brought ear plugs, the bikes were nothing as compared to his yelling.

I am positive he is not being encouraged to scream the last couple of years. Stamp it
