I could do a better job. And the most disappointing part? He is in a legit position to spit game at Diana and there is no way in hell he is doing any of that.

He is the NASCAR clown that they all make fun of on their roundy round shows.

Unfortunately he's the vocal lipstick of that bang-up crew SPEED has put together... The race commentary left me wanting. The guys in the booth are just not very skilled at articulating the ongoing events.

They need a Joe Rogan of dirtbikes.

Pretty short sided for you. He may not be what you want to hear but he is perfect for the non core crowd. Everyone here complains about TV packages well you need more people to watch than core. He did a good job and added some funny stuff to break up a long live show to keep people on the channel. I guarantee regular viewers can relate to him much more than the guys in the booth or the girls in the pit.

Glad to see them switching it up. And no none of you could've done better. Lol

Yeah, left me wanting too, wanting to neck him!

And people on here shit on the social media segments; there is a ton of time to fill between races and re-caps of heats can only be played so many times. I, for one, enjoy the tweets from NASCAR and other drivers.

If you think he helped the tv package at all, you're out of your mind. In fact, I was about ready to just call it a night after watching a whole hour of bullshit before a single gate dropped - do you think someone who knows nothing about the sport is going to sit through that because of ole fasto?

Hipster beard/glasses/haircut guy, piss on em.... If Georgia's already at the races with Albertson why dont they just put a mic in her hand? Shes good at what she does, and definitely beats out the fake ass hipster wannabe nerd & the fake ass blonde that has no business on a mic.. That being said, RC/Ralph/Emig were on their game imo

Yes I do. It shows what goes on at the races and he did a good job talking about it.

His shtick is tired. He's been on the channel for years, someone at Speed is convinced he has mass appeal when he actually infuriates everyone.

He singlehandedly ruined the Top Gear USA show as well.

I am not the biggest fan of the "Rut" character (and I'm big into NASCAR), however he's the only person on the whole crew that can carry the show verbally. He certainly lacks moto knowledge, but he's many times better at articulating his thoughts than anyone else on the broadcast.

I have a hard time listing to any of the others speak, it just makes my brain hurt. The only reason I have the volume on at all is to hear the info that I couldn't have gathered visually.

we just saw the best race in years with an underdog winning over a good guy back from injury

and yet people still just have to complain about something anything "booohooo I don't like him.. he didn't say or do anything wrong and he was on the screen for 5 minutes total but I'm going to go on a website and complain anyway cause I don't like his face whaaaaaa"

I honestly don't see a problem with him. I thought he brought something new to the show.

I completely agree. I had no idea who he was but I felt like he was a step in the right direction for making Supercross enjoyable to the average non-moto person, which is the only way we're going to get this sport to grow. Most of my friends and family think supercross on TV is as cheesy as it gets, on par with watching those WWF wrestling shows and Monster Trucks.

I'll take the nerdy nascar guy any day of the week over another damn tattoo'd up moto guy who isn't relatable to the average person.

^TripleFive knows what's up.

The dude was articulate and provided nice segues for Ralph & Co to carry on with. The broadcast needs it.

Never heard of him but he did a good job and seemed genuinely excited. Hope they show more of him.

He's the guy who that guy from that old Dennis Leary show knocked off of that car show that the US knocked off from the Brits.

Seriously, though, I didn't think he did badly as liaison to the non-Vitalmx crowd.

If they use him right he will be good for the show. They need to turn him loose and let him wander around, he can be funny. Give it some more time.

I thought he was a good addition as well. Thought it filled in the dead spots better than before.
I also like seeing the tweets from the NASCAR drivers.
Racing was awesome!!
Glad to see Milsaps win.

TC is a great story too, but they never mentioned all the crap Davi's been thru. Like only having one kidney.
