Look, I could live with Ralph and Jeff if they had someone like Weege feeding them information... giving them some actual shit to talk about. FFS, when Busch was in last week we had more actual bench racing than we've had in years.

I don't wanna know about tear offs, wives or fucking cats. I wanna see the racing!

Stop replaying the fucking start. We've all seen them a million times – I mean, fuck, use that as a talking point for one of the winners... "Hey AAron, we're replaying the start here, walk us through it from your view"...

Whatever the fuck you do, don't go to replay when someone does something in 12th. Yes Bowers' crash was crazy, but we missed the lead change for the win, AGAIN. And when someone passes, stick with it for more than a second, because if you knew anything about moto you'd know pass-backs and tight racing occur immediately after a pass.

And lastly, Gimme some goddam picture in picture for the chequered flag. I don't ever wanna see some dude throw a lame one hander when a desperate battle for a podium is happening behind. And while we're at it, how's about a graphics package that shows the order in complete review, instead of the retarded crap we have now. It's actually pathetic.

Again, why the teams who spend millions aren't ranting about how shit is done is beyond me.

Ralph is not the problem.

Jeff and the producers are the big problem.

Ralph is the know quantity with the stupid comments. Jeff has no excuse to not be contributing more. My take on it.

Whenever Marvin’s helmet pic gets posted I need to see it. So does that make Mathilde a weird cat lady already?

The thing is, i can live with the "red Honda" and cats comments.

But i can't live with the embarrassing quality from the producers and Jeffs contribution of nothing. Jeff is a premier class winner and he has nothing to say, nothing. Everything comes down to mental errors etc.

I agree. He offers no true insight. It would be like Lebron James commentating a game and talking about shoe strings or compression shorts. Pointless.

The replay on the last lap was fucked up. It makes you wonder if the production team is a buch of high schoolers who signed up for the media production class.

Actually, that would be better then what we got last night. Perhaps Fox can just pluck kids from the area high school each round so we can get a production team who actually gives a shit what they are doing.

Emig: "wow looks like the red plate in the 250 class is switching again!" *Plessinger in the lead*

Ralph: *Plessinger laps right before the white flag comes out* "....and it's two seconds left. Plessinger makes A HUGE MISTAKE!!!"

Huh

Ok you bashers ..

I seriously had a great laugh when Juliana said

That reminds me of the Brady Bunch... Marcia Marcia Marcia ...

Juliana, sweetheart you're just getting that now?
Huh Dry Blink Smile Laughing Woohoo Silly

Last night's director - producer team should be slapped in post production meetings ... split screen works and works extremely well, oh and it doesn't cost more each second you use it !!!

Good night of racing though.

Ok one last thought, thank you to the production person who trained a camera at the end of the rhythm section. Hope Tyler just has a gnarly bruise.

But in all seriousness with today’s technology we should be choose what we want to see as In multiple live feeds so you follow a battle and not get a replay or just follow your favorite rider.

I wish they would effing STOP cutting away from bar to bar racing for whatever! At least leave a camera on leaders and put in a separate PIP.
simple rule,

if the lead is within 2.0 seconds, never, ever cut away.
the fastest riders in the world are on their game, showing how it's done. first is feeling pressure, and second is pushing for a win.

if the lead is above 2.0 seconds, and there is a gap of 2.0 seconds within the top 5, focus on that battle, in ascending order of the position..

the play by play guy (which they don't really have) should constantly update on the top 10, and any movement within the top 10. as well as any top ten points rider, who is out of the top ten. you would assume they'd have a spotter who could feed this information to them.

only if all gaps in the top 5 grow to over 2.0 seconds, do you ever switch back to some other battle or show replays.

Emig sucks. He offers zero insight or contribution. The dude was one of the best racers in the world in his time yet he never brings any of that to the table. Doesn't ever reference any of his experiences or try's to relate, just says the same bullshit every week like any other non-moto commentry guy would do. And don't get me started on RC!! For gods sake that guy has no business doing TV commentary it's painfull trying to watch him stumble thru any segment he does. Like I'm embarrassed for him it's so bad. Feld needs to get off RC's nuts and keep him off the program. Never have him on again. Daniel Blair has been a great alternative to RC and is %100 what the TV package needs and replace Emig with any other former racer who can do the job but also bring some of what he went thru to the show

The producer needs to be sacked. My brother and i were watching position graphic on the left hand side looking at the gaps between riders getting closer and closer but instead we watch someone riding around on their own. Next thing you hear the crowd go nuts so they have to show a replay of the pass. The fact they have a replay shows the camera was watching the action, just the dip shit producer couldn't figure it out.
Yes.
A visionary producer could make the broadcast much more exciting.

Direct the booth to call the race, not chat.
Have someone off camera dedicated to lap times and find who’s on the move and the battles as they’re developing, instead of showing the passes after the fact.

Call the race. Don’t chat about racers, practice, history, etc. That’s what the segments between races are for.

Closely watching lap times is far more compelling than the broadcast audio as it is now.

And again. Emig looked baked. But, that’s not a big deal. But he does look like he smoked a giant bowl. ?

I was thinking the same thing about Juliana. Just when I thought she made it through that segment without any awkward moments. She's pretty though so she can stay. lol.

Whoever said bring in Weege and Langston, I second this to infinity. Although I do like Emig, and wouldn't mind at all if he stayed and it was a 3 man operation. Ralph's only strength is that he is pretty decent at play by play when there is actually action happening, but I think Weigandt is easily as good or better. And Weigandt's ridiculous moto knowledge would be enjoyable, whereas Ralph just yells or says awkward overly dramatic stuff when there's not a close battle happening.

Can we start a petition to have Ralph and Jeff replaced with Jennie and Daniel? It’s time for new blood in the booth. And teach Julianna a little more about bikes and SX and make her the pit reporter. New team, new vibe. It’s time.
I can start a petition on some site if people want to sign it? I'm sick of Ralph's bullshit too, and I agree with what you said, someone has to do something about this.

The "moment of the race" was the start and they had the clip shown like 5 mins into the race who the hell plans that?

It has been pretty bad this year and the thing making more noticeable is Jeff and all his misses and contradicting statements. Not sure what is up with him but he really seems to be half-assing it. Ralph just says stupid stuff and that hasn't changed to me.

I'm not saying that Ralph is fantastic and awesome.

I'm saying that i can live with what Ralph does and we would have a way better show with someone else as the expert and a different production team/producer.

I do hope that you who think Weege and Langston should do it know that it's impossible.

Langston was the AX guy and had to quit that to become the outdoor national expert commentator. They obviously can't fork for both TV companies/promoters.

I have never understood that either. The whole title of the segment infers completion of the race and one stand out moment. Not a few laps in and a dramatic pass happens. Nonsense.

Emig has been a dbag for a long time. Personally seen him treat former badass pros like shit, as well as fans. Dude has serious ego issues. Stopped using ODI when they started putting his name on their grips. I hope the best for people so hopefully that 10ft pole up his @ss doesnt hurt when it comes out. Smile
Sidenote here: you can get ODI lock-ons that don't say "Emig" on them. I agree that it's silly as hell to have a grown man's last name plastered on your bike. Same with his t-shirts, hats, etc. I don't know the dude, but to your point about ego, the thought has crossed my mind that one would have to have a massive ego to launch a brand in which their name is the entire focus. I'm sure he is making money off it though.

juliana seems like a nice girl, but she is just terrible on tv. she just doesn't have it. her feeling the need to explain to everybody that emig's most obvious brady bunch reference in the world was, in fact, a brady bunch reference made me cringe.

I'll be completely honest, I defended her last year but she's seemingly gotten worse as a host. They really do need to either get a different host or can her role, Juliana is really, really bad.

Fuck it why not just hire Georgia? She clearly gets and actually loves the sport.
