Blair is good at what he does but Ricky is the guy racers should be hearing from in the booth. He’s not a perfect announcer thank goodness, but his way is the path to dominating the sport. Daniel doesn’t know that path like him. You can crap on RC all day but you’d have to be daft to not want to have him around to learn from.

The fact that Ricky was the goat and the most dominating Rider of his era has no bearing on the fact that he can't articulate on the broadcast. I'd love to learn something from Ricky's commentary in the booth but it's just not happening. That was then and this is now. His way is the old way. He was the best of his time but he sucks as an announcer and that's just the way it is. No wonder Ralph keeps going to Blair.

Did Jeff knock it out of the park in his first full year?

No RC isn’t a great announcer, but it’s not his announcing style that interests me. He is barely “good enough” when speaking, yes. I don’t listen to him to figure out race info per se’, I listen to race info to figure out him.
No, you're right Jeff didn't knock it out of the park in his first season. But he had a stuttering impediment and he still was better than Ricky. Harsh but true.

RC is 10 races in and Jeff is 15 years and plenty of people complained about him

One is naturally charismatic the other is far from it. "We can work with speed" as they say.

Yeah but one is vanilla. Red for Honda Green for Kawi. Other one is on the verge of creating his own style. Was Bailey really charismatic? Nah.

Bailey’s articulate. Blair is articulate and charismatic. RC’s looking up what those words mean.

Just my 2 cents but it seems like RC is there simply for the pay check and sponsor obligations. Blair is still a fan of the sport and genuinely likes giving his input on the racing each week.

Get rid of that accent! I cannot understand why these tv execs think we want a foreigner with a heavy accent commenting during our races. Price is right maybe,

Where is Jamie and the other cuties?

I've made my decision...RC forever in the booth with producer Joe replacing the fast talking Blair. I think RC and producer Joe will have instant chemistry.

RC wouldn’t look it up though. He does no research on anything and has no idea who anyone is outside of the top 10

Hopefully it's preparing Blair for next year when he's in the booth with Ralph. RC should be 1 and done. Ralph was better with Emig, but Blair is better than both supercross veterans when it comes to commentating.

That's on you. Time to speed up and "Git gud" with your listening comprehension skills.

Send Ralph packing. When he starts yelling trying to get you pumped up...drives me crazy. He honestly makes me not want to watch the races. Move Daniel in the booth with RC...

I plan to make many. How will anyone take Blair seriously when he starts talking championship strategy? Also, how will Blair handle the mob of keyboard warriors when he screws up? This year he is trying so hard to up RC and it's pathetic to me. Blair shows no respect. I'm so on the RC train. I can't stand Blair. He is not who we need. RC is so credible.

Feld will take a known rider like RC Dungey or Villo before Blair. He has no chance next year.

I think the OP is the reason why they put RC and Ralph in the booth and make them talk like simpletons.

I don't really listen to them too much. I tune in to see the races. When the camera is jerking off it pisses me off more than a word stumble, or accent, thats for sure!
