Thought he was really good to start with but he just goes on and on over analysing everthing.
Please give us some insight but enough is enough

Emig is the $hit how are you gonna say that? I mean atleast show a litlle respect. geeze. Not everyone can be a David Bailey. He just has his own style which you have to respect.
Aaaand he knows a lot.

He thinks he knows a lot. I think he is still smoking some wacky tobacky in the booth to be honest.

Emig just needs to change it up a little. The fastest man on the planet comments are getting old. Actually real old. And the (I got to tell you) phrase before he makes a comment is pretty lame. One thing is for sure he is better than Steele and Ping. Those two were brutal.

I don't mind Emig. I think he is better than David Baily with his "When I won my championship I did this" comments 4-5 times per race. While I respect his career, I don't want to hear about it all the time. When a former racer thinks he knows what a current racer is thinking, that is when it gets old with me. Nobody knows but the person himself.

Fro is ok, but he sound's like a try hard as if he's had some higher education. When talking about a riders MO, he needs to remember a regular moto fan would think he's talking about facial hair not what a rider usual style of racing is. doh

Remember the days when you would wait for that once a year GP on Wide World of Sports?

It's amazing how spoiled we get, and the unrealistic expectations abound.

It's moto cross racing people, what are you expecting. We get same day, next day, replay, internet play, message board back and forth, and some are still pissed it's not good enough...

Larocco is still in Emig's head, and he's retired. True story.

Ok, I grant you that...that is an intelligent postSmile Probably, because I agree 100%. But, replace Ralph, not Fro!

It could be worse, BobbyM could be up there. Imagine that: Reed is working his way up from a bad start and passes Alessi for 7th and Bobby comments, "Fuck ya Reed. And lick my ball sack while yer at it you dumb ballsuck, nut licker."

Give the guy some credit... At least he knows some things about riding a dirt bike and can explain it to the uneducated on tv. 90% of the people watching probably don't know a damn thing about it.

I grew up racing with Jeff. He knows alot and is doing an outstading job. If some of you knew the speech difficulties he had you would be amazed.

I like Fro was always a fan of him, but this isnt an appropriate job for him. It hurts the broadcast having him on. There are plenty of other people with knowledge that could do the job better, Emig isnt polished enough for TV, he still stutters a lot, repeats himself, and says okkkkk a lot

Jeff's AMA National titles and AMA Supercross titles aside, the man saved our country's ass on numerous occasions at the MXdN. He does a great job.

Ralph is there to dummy down the sport to the masses. They don't pay to televise this to mx riders. The broadcast is for joe six pack watching speed tv without anything better to do. Joe needs Ralph.

Erin is there so Joe's wife can relate to the broadcast from a female perspective.

I think Speed/Feld is doing a great job.

We all tend to forget that we are not the target audience of a SX/MX broadcasts.

i like emig but the commentating is hurting.

the "arguably the fastest man on the planet" is really getting out of hand.

don't get me started on Ralph "Douche of the Decade" Shaheen and Erin "Learn to ask your own questions" Bates.

but most of all, the whole broadcast is hurting. bad. the amount of love and attention the broadcast is giving Stewart is almost vomit worthy. the san diego show was overboard. big time.

i see they are trying to build the superstar, and make it look like nobody else matters, but guess what, if it weren't for everyone else there stewart would be a nobody. bottom line. the broadcast doesn't even deserve to be called a "bad joke"...

Emig does a great job without constantly living in the past like Bailey did. Get Emig, Grant Langston and Pingree and that would rock.

Actually the guy they should get to help Jeff is Chuck Sun. Amazing communicator.
