I just listened to his podcast with Matthes and it was very insightful. He's a true fan and has an huge amount of passion for this sport. I came away believing that it isn't just a job for him, he really loves this sport. He even addressed the haters with class, good for him.
If you haven't listen to the podcast, I recommend it. If you don't Think Ralph is good for the sport the podcast might change your mind.

you know the goddamn difference between a cat and a kitten
sad really, my dad always said "if you cant say something nice, then better not saying anything at all"
So much better than Art Eckman and listening to David Bailey talk about himself the entire race.

I think that Ralph does a good job! You can tell he loves the action by his reactions!
When Reed hangs it up, I hope he makes his way into the booth. I think he does a good job.
Overall though... things have come very far in a short amount of time.
Remember around 10 years ago when there was a week delay on ESPN2? and then... if it was on after a live college game... you had to be prepared for SX/MX to get bumped if the game went in to OT.
Jabroni on the other hand...sucks real bad.
Why anyone would long for the drunk with the grandpa voice is beyond me.
This is "show business" . Not moto business.
As much as some here don't like this, it's the way that it really is and Ralph does a good job.

Ralph does a great job- I enjoy the heck out of the SX shows.
Bulldog got it right with Art and Bailey as much as I respect the both of them. I can't name one announcer in football, baseball, nascar, ect that knows his sport and keeps a halfway interesting coverstaion going than Shaheen does for MX.
Second, quit already with the "he's really going to make a statement". Davi made no statement for JGR getting a 2nd when all the fast guys were out. It definitely was an accomplishment but really had the top guys stayed healthy where's Davi? Not even top 5. So please stop already with the "statement" all the time.
Lastly, when you're doing a Q&A with RC & Emig, Step back a foot or 2. As it is, it just looks so disrespectful to turn your back on your coworkers like they don't exist. It just seems rude. Alter those 3 things and my opinion of Ralph goes up.
