EDIT- I thought he was a color commentator...still confused
I remember a while ago when DB mentioned on his podcast that his ultimate dream job goal in life is to be in some kind of commentator role in the NFL. At the time, I thought that sounded like some far fetched boyhood dream. Now that I've seen/heard how well poised he is behind the mic and how solid his work ethic is - I 100% believe he can work his way there someday..
They get these guys for pennies on the dollar, otherwise they would be like other sports and have guys like Bailey, RJ, etc. But they gotta pay em. Paying for a room, flight, and free monster and snacks isn't getting paid.
This sport won't. We can't even keep someone like Jenny Taft, or anyone else.
They need guys in the Emig, MC, JBone, era at the minimum.
The problem is Ralph is so in tune with EVERY Motorsport out there, he can talk around these guys and appeal to a broader audience, and thats who they are talking to........the average watcher.
Ralph is complete garbage.
Pit Row
The so called poor commentary is blown out of proportion no matter who is in the booth.
Blown out of proportion.
Still better than FRO, but RC and Blair should switch spots.
Here's my take, that position should require X-amount of time behind the mike and that you're proven a good speaker.
No one really cares who's in that chair as long as their good. If you watch some of the old SX or MX utube vids...many are hosted by unknowns that were great speakers.
RC's biggest flaw is he can't speak for shit, just because he's the goat that doesn't make him the goat for commentating.
If RC had any balls he'd take himself out and spend a year full on crafting that skill.
School, radio, coaching, HS sporting events, come back in a year ready to kick ass instead of (now) embarrassing himself.
It would be awesome if the network split it up, RC a couple races, Fro a couple, Wege a couple, Matthes a couple, maybe GL a couple, ping do a couple...that would give some diverse viewpoints, add some different flavor to the booth and keep things really interesting.
I don't mind of he goes quite you don't have to talk every second of the race.
I lost track of all the times I was left shaking my head...
I knew Ferrandis had a shot at winning, he just needed a start. However in the pre race report Ricky’s analysis for 250 race was “Adam wants to wrap up this title and take on Forkner in Vegas, that’s what it’s all about!!”
Seriously??
Also Josh Grant crashing out of LCQ- He can’t be too hard on himself Ralph bla bla bla.. um yeah Ricky he actually should be- He stalled it in the whoops whilst in a qualifying position and then he crashed in the whoops going for it when he still had 2 laps to go and would of easily made a pass elsewhere...
The 250 LCQ where Jorgensen got docked- 100% bad call ?? Was it Ricky, are you sure.. I know people are divided on this but usually when a rider gasses it off track it’s not a good outcome.
Not knowing the (current) rules around jumping on Red Cross flag?? It’s kinda your job to be able to reference those things for the viewers?
Lucky Daniel Blair was on hand to provide some insight on the different jump options etc. he does a great job.
I think Ricky could be better but something’s missing at the moment- they need to figure it out..
