Should get MM25 and Force in the same interview. The energy would be off the chart.

Here are a couple (on top of everything mentioned above) ...

• After Anderson took a swing at Friese, Anderson immediately crashed like a fool. But the boys in the booth just sat there dumbfounded as if it never happened.

• During the replays of the Roczen crash, Musquin moved ahead of Seely. The guys didn't even mention it, didn't even think to say, "And Musquin has now moved into second! We'll try to get a replay of that move." Nothing.

Plus I hate the way Shaheen randomly calls guys by their first names. Either that or he think's Webb's last name is "Cooper."

I kept waiting for him to explode, he told us it was coming at least three times. Laughing

Last names, seriously? You're one picky bastard

At least dump Shaheen. He drives me nuts especially when he starts knob gobbling Reed. Weege and Langston would be great. Maybe Rob Buydos too. At least from what I've heard (or not heard) during the broadcast it sounds like they dumped the bellowing Lurch. Cool

I like how Ralph helped out Fro when he stammered. Stuff happens. These guys do a fine job. It's the overall program layout I think needs improving. Watch the old ESPN 2 broadcasts. They were much better. Sign of the times I guess.
Those ESPN2 broadcasts were voiced over in a TV studio. They were not calling things on the fly to a live audience.

The only thing that bothered me was right after Roczen went down, they just showed Dunge ride around for 2-3 laps, with nothing else showing. Many other things happened in that time span and nothing was shown or mentioned of it. I watched Dungey ride around all last year, I don't need to see it again. Show some action.

There isn't much action to show. Now with Roczen out there will be less. Sad

Yeah, I'm aware of that. But nothing beats Eckman/Bailey for SX, to me at least. But yeah, doing it live is no easy chore. I think Ralph and Fro do just fine. They struggled a bit last night. No biggie.

In the 250 main it was assumed Forkner was in the lead for half of the 1st lap until the ticker showed it was Hill.

That is wrong on many levels. I would rather see rider's initials on number plates than numbers.

In the 450 main Stewart was in 8th when Roczen went down, and we never saw or heard anything else about him?
Marvin moves into 2nd and we see nothing?

I'm not as concerned with the announcer's as their support system.
they were saying forkner was in the lead for the first 4 lapsLaughing Laughing

Just show the damn 250 LCQ! Even announcers are bound to have an off night.

Not hating on ralph and emig but i think its time for a new team, how long have those 2 been doing the announcing for SX? weege and langston are a pretty cool duo, know how to mix it up with insight and occasional jokes.
I agree, in general just feels like its time for a new era.
All feels a bit 2013. haha

Maybe they need a woman in the booth. Time to end the oppression and equality for all. My vote is for Caitlin Jenner. Saw her ride at a Carlsbad USGP with a helmet cam on and you would have never known she was a girl!
