Jim Holley seems like a nice guy, but his lack having a even a mediocre broadcast voice or any broadcast skills is painful to listen to. He regularly pronounces riders names wrong and brings little insight to the program. Am I the only one that finds the broadcast much better with the volume off?

Jimmy is great and honestly has done more to promote and help riders and the sport then most.

IMO hes great on Race Day Live, he asks good questions and knows how to break stuff down better than anyone. He could get a lot more technical, but most would probably get lost in it

I am happy to be able to watch live coverage during the day, I dont care who is broadcasting it. I would even listen to Miss Supercross stumble through lines and not really care. I just wanna see the racing and the timing. I can choose to listen to the commentator or not. I do get sick of the MX vs ATV promotion, since I know firsthand what a shitty game it is and how many times they have stolen my $.

My bigger complaint is the stream sucks and its hard to even watch most times.

Glad Jim Holley is still in and for me the person that was rough to listen to was Clint Bowyer is OUT . I don't like to complain about broadcasters , in fact the only person I've ever noted as rough to listen to is Mr Bowyer.

Daniel Blair is replacing Bowyer on Race Day Live. I'd still rather the volley ball guy return to the show but will definitely take Blair over Bowyer.

Let's hope Blair doesn't refer to Jim Holley by both 1st and last name every freaking time he addresses him (100x per show) as Bowyer did.

I've seen people in the Live stream chat note how they are annoyed with Bowyer referring to Jim Holley constantly by his 1st and last name and it seemed that Bowyer would purposefully do it even more often (I know he reads the chat room responses as the show takes place so i'ts like he was doing it on purpose).

Holley makes Race Day Live. I don't think he would be as good a race commentator as The Ralph and Fro show, but he is in the exact right place in RaceDay live. He is down to earth and an easy listen. I don't think I'd want the same type of commentator for the pre race as with the race.

It will be now that Daniel Blair has replaced Bowyer.

I agree. When he gets rid of the frog in his throat and quits saying "when we talk about" every five minutes, he might be decent.

Conflating Jim's riding ability or his personality with his ability to be effective on TV is ridiculous. It's painful to listen to, and I should point out it's not all Jim's fault. What's his name with him is beyond awful - so awful in fact I have blocked his name from my memory.... get some other people in there... let Jim do a few special pieces here and there.

I personally think he does a great job. He technically flawless in his delivery. Race day live would be blah without Holley.

Same here. Jim Holley is great.

What has there been...two posters who dont like Jim so far in 4 pages? Thats like a 97.6% approval rating. Feld should give him a raise based off this thread alone!

Respect your elders. He bumbles a bit but Blair smooths it out.

Holley is doing fine.

Another vote of approval for Jim Holley here. He and Daniel are developing a good balance with the banter.

Jim Holley does a great job. I think all of them do a great job, even Alessi is killing it.
