NBC crushed it today. Network TV. The right crew calling the race. Probably won’t get any better than this

250 450 race was was over once  Austin and Jett crossed the holeshot line. The 450 LCQ was probably the best race of the night.

I would have rather had another mudder, this race wasn't great, track was terrible, no real battles, idk. Was pretty stale for me.

It's the same production crew for Peacock, NBC, and the international stream.

Except for Jett's near fuck up, Jett, KR, Chase and Coop all very smooth on a very tough track,

 

I hate those commercials on Peacock; network was much better

Track really, really sucked.........

Start cross ways on the floor = short start and 90 degree first turn.....that stupidity really messed up the series for a lot of contenders...

Also makes all the race lanes about 60-80 feet less than what they could be.

44 second lap times........yawn....

I will say they did a better job today using the split screen

But there is only so much they can mess up when you have to go back to 10 place to find a "battle"

I disliked that I had to listen to them explain every simple detail and common knowledge aspect of the sport. They always do it to an extent so I’m used to it, it’s was just laid on extra thick today which is annoying as a regular viewer. 
 

If they called an NFL game like this it’d be like “All progress in a football game is measured in yards. The offensive team tries to get as much “yardage” as it can to try and move closer to the opponent’s end zone. Each time the offense gets the ball, it has four downs, or chances, in which to gain 10 yards. If the offensive team successfully moves the ball 10 or more yards, it earns a first down, and another set of four downs. If the offense fails to gain 10 yards, it loses possession of the ball. The defense tries to prevent the offense not only from scoring, but also from gaining the 10 yards needed for a first down. If the offense reaches fourth down, it usually punts the ball (kicks it away). This forces the other team to begin its drive further down the field.”

Meanwhile 2 plays have already happened and then they cut to a replay of something they missed while another play is now underway. I can’t think of any other sport that explains how it works each and every broadcast.

I'd call this thread retarded, but that would be an insult to the mentally challenged.

Using retarded as a derogatory term for anything is an insult to the mentally challenged.

When these windows are open to broadcast SX on live network TV I am just giving props for them doing it. Not paying for Peadick so if this is a retarded post then so be it. For what they did today, it was a great job. And it wasn’t too much SX 101 even though we knew they were going to do it. I would say you roll the dice to do this like NASCAR they did it well

The cherry on top for me was the last lap of the 450 main, they were running out of things to say, and rather than watching Jett ride with no commentary for 5 seconds, RC threw in another "and remember the green lights signify that he is the race leader" after saying it several times for each gate drop and watching Jett lead every lap the entire race. Because we might not have yet figured out what was going on.

Exactly so much young blood that could bring innovation to the broadcast, but yeah let’s keep rehashing the same old thing because they’ve been so successful bringing in new viewers and sponsors…

My truck's ignition is retarded, oh wait, it might be advancing now.

I can never tell because I am mechanically challenged

But the question is this.....

If retarded is no longer used to refer to the mentally challenged, why can't it just be used to call something stupid on its own?

An example would be saying something is ignorant. It has no reflection on those that might have a low iq, it is merely saying that something specific is lacking intelligence or knowledge about a particular item or opinion.

Feel free to use it to express how you feel about my post, I am ok with it if that is your opinion.

I watched in fast forward.   Why are the jumps the same size as two stroke days?  These guys are nowhere near wide open.

I never complain about the broadcast but I can’t count how many times they moved away from a battle as a pass is getting made for some dumb shit.
