Beating a dead horse

Carmichael is absolute dog shit at announcing. Stop talking and let wiegant call the race. He has the same dumb analogies every week and constantly fumbles words and then try’s to correct them but fails.Has had me put the tv on mute to get through the motos. Sorry but the Coronas were flowing today and they made me say it. Wiegant and Blair would be the ideal announcing team. Later dorks

He was his usual, insufferable, self.

 

He kept droning on, and frikkin on, about riding style.

Then was toting the company line about how cool Phil's camera was.

Or just flailing along behind weege repeating everything in his, in need of speech therapy, way.

 

He really is an embarrassment for the broadcast.

Did you guys hear about this SMX thing at the end of the year?

For the first time ever, i had to mute the broadcast.  Halfway through the first 450 moto, until the podium speeches.

I'm here for the hate.  I love Ricky and hope he carries on as long as he wants.

I heard all of the above in today’s broadcast. Just need RC to say Jett and Chase are “yo-yo-Ing” and all of his greatest hits would be represented in 1 broadcast.

He was definitely off today, more so than usual. Cringe worthy at best.

I'm glad Stew is in the booth next week, not RC.

Y’all need to remember the broadcast is for the basic viewer checking out a sport they are not familiar with. Football fanatics probably hate the broadcast also because they know more about the game then 80% of the viewers. TV broadcast will always cater to the biggest audience, and I think there’s more people watching then the few people who post on Vital 10 times a day.

I tuned out after the 1st motos.   caught the highlights (as if there were any) of the 2nd motos.     Normally, I'm okay with RC, he was bad today.  ...to add the icing to the cake we get SCREEEETCH again this week.  

Oh yeah...and the 250 gate restart was bullshit. 

How's that for negative post.... Woohoo

I think he just learned the word "epic" recently.

How many times would Jett have just let Chase past him these last few motos if he’d listen to Ricky.

For the first time ever, I had to mute race day live today because he was like a broken record.  I've wanted to in the past but today was worst for some reason.  Second 450 moto with that shitty ass Phil cam I was going to go out the door.  I told myself I would hang in there until Chase went down 10 seconds and it never happened.  I can't believe how long and how many times they showed that stupid ass cam view.  That was the worst thing I've seen in a broadcast, EVER!

You Yankees sure like to complain a lot about trivial little things. RC is who he is just deal with it and enjoy the racing this year has been great.

Jeez, you call a race uniquely when the last 18 motos were more or less the same.

I propose an announcing “shootout” between RC, Stew and David Bailey. It will never happen but Bailey would bury the both of them.

To me the broadcast is proof he didn’t use PEDs when he was racing. If he had, I’m sure he would also use them for the broadcast and it would definitely help, give him some adderall, xanax, beta blockers and some alpha brain, six or seven coors lights and I think he would be great.

Like the other person said. He is who he is so just watch the races and enjoy it.

I know he does way better than I would do so keep up the good work RC !

The name mix ups are great. I take it as part of the entertainment. I'm fine with him in there. James is hands down the best though. Its comical how ass hurt some of you get over this stuff "I turned the volume off" "I stopped watching"  lol some bitchy ass adrenaline junkies in here! WhistlingLaughing

Even if he's not the best broadcaster, RC would school most of the Tards on this Forum in the booth, just like he would on the track.   I can imagine it's a lot harder than it seems.    Haters gonna Hate!

What I heard was talking about Johnny O coaching RC early in career to stay in it in the last five laps, and how that relates to Hunter and Jett’s consistency . Don’t go berserk and crash just stay in the race. If you didn’t have RC in the booth you wouldn’t get his experience and how it relates to to the race. All his verbal miscues are just minor IMO and I wouldn’t want him replaced with a lesser experienced announcer.

RC was going well until he leaned it over just a little bit too far….

Nobody calling football games sounds borderline retarded while doing it. That's totally independent of their knowledge of the game. They don't struggle with basic English. If you knew nothing about moto and didn't know that RC gets a pass because of his racing history, and all you did was happen upon the broadcast and judge it based on what you're hearing, you'd move on in a hurry, assuming you passed 6th grade and can form complete sentences. Sorry not sorry, don't care how well intentioned anyone is, but this is a total joke at this point. Pay professionals to do the job. Letting Daniel blair walk away with his combination of real world knowledge and ability to speak clearly is embarrassing.
