American sports is so focused on the wankers announcing a sport. Theyre intrusive and annoying. Whether US born, Aus born, where ever etc. 

Weege does well because he isnt over the top hype. Calls a race and has informed input.

I would have much less of an issue with Leigh or anyone else calling the action if Weege didn’t exist. He’s the best in the business and there’s no reason that he shouldn’t be the full-time play-by-play guy. If it was Jason’s decision not to be, that would be different. But it’s not him, he clearly wants the job.

Honestly he's the only one I don't like really. His voice is to nasally to me and kind of annoys me at the end of the show.

If he wasn't screaming garbage, he'd be tolerable. He only has one volume 11

It's not the accent it's the stupid comments,  Leigh is just bad and Will is just terrible.

I run my TV through a Yamaha reciever and two Jenson speakers which allows me to switch pre-set mono and stereo modes at will[Will]. This let's me hear the sounds of only the bikes and fans in the stadium without any blundering commentary.. At the push of a button.

It's Not the accent, they suck at what they do. Diffey has been kicked of Indy car, NASCAR and he now needs to leave this sport

Diffey and Christian Suck. He's screaming and his voice is like fingernails on the chalkboard, She can't pronounce half of what is coming out of her mouth. I use the mute button throughout the night. The other one will be RC when he gets back after intestinal surgery, he is just as bad.

I like Leigh Diffey and I think he is great in the booth. I just the Weege is simply better because he lives and breathes this shit like we do.

Weege and Jt$ in the booth.

Don't get me started on how bad Peacock sucks. This is America, why Spanish commercials, gay commercials and we pay extra to supposedly limit the commercials but that is BS. Going back to the $6 plan and use the mute button.

Has there ever been a commentator that wasn’t a pro racer that was unanimously liked? I don’t think so. There in lies the problem; you mob will never accept whoever they put in there, unless they’re a well liked former American pro.
Even then, there’s been very few that the majority liked. So why even bother bitching about something that can never be perfect?
For every person that likes someone’s style, there’ll be someone who doesn’t. It’s no big deal.

Wrong little boy, Grant Langston was great. NBC was forcing him to get vaccinated with the shot that didn't work. He said FU. When Grant and Jason did the outdoor nationals they were awesome. Diffey, Christian and Ricky Carmichael Suck plain and simple.

You seem like a very well adjusted person haha but actually no he said on Gypsy tales that he was growing tired of all the travel and they weren't forcing him but he felt like they would eventually force him so he quit and all you guys jumped up and down as if he was a hero

IMO Leigh saved James a lot tonight and carried the show. James was great for the first little bit and then seemed to get tongue tied and basically couldn't talk with out stumbling over his words or what he was trying to say.

He’s great if he would just call the race and stop trying to make BIG MOMENTS when he raises his voice like something so spectacular is happening that it’s earth shattering, we all see the lines and potential passes that may happen I just put it in mute and enjoy it much more.

Diffey is fine. I respect his knowledge of the sport and he works hard.

Stew, Weege and JT are great. So was Blair.

RC adds no value to the broadcast.

Whinging won’t change anything though so what’s the point ffs

I was cheering when they announced that RC was under the weather.
 

JS7, DB, and Weege, that’s all we need.

I don't notice Leigh's voice or volume whatsoever.  I'm paying attention to a race going on.

Diffey gets annoying, but Babbling Bubba just regurgitates the same nonsense over and over.

We started to play the “slippery drinking game” Bubba couldn’t stop himself from saying slippery.

That chick that was with Weege was annoying. Its was like the older girl that tried to be hip and smart but only knows what she read about on the field notes. Weege needs to be in the booth

James is great on his show and has moments of brilliance on a broadcast but definitely not a natural talker by any means. What carries him is he probably has the best racing mind on the planet

I guess I’m alone on this but I like him. 

Your'e not alone. I like him also. I like his enthusiasm. I liked him back about 8 years or so ago when he was doing F1.
