He's gotten much better and his in-depth knowledge and ability to convey what's happening on the track is invaluable.  Except for Brayton, he's by far the best former racer I've heard calling the race and I like his style.

I think he does Very good , Doesn't seemed obsessed with Jett, Hope NBC doesn't let him go for not being. (LOL)

What’s next? A “who’s the best in the booth” poll? 🤣

I wonder if Weege has a weekly chiropractor appointment as part of his contract with NBC for carrying the broadcast.

Sorry but can anyone tell me what happened in the race??! Me & a Moto-buddy decided to play a drinking game…Chug every time RC uttered one of his many cliches OR chug the entire time Will was on one of her rambling “I was talking to the team manager” sermons… 
We don’t remember anything after the 3rd heat race and I just woke up!!? 😵‍💫 👍❗️

Yeah no.  I never disliked him, but imo, RC is RC. He’s the same as always, which isn’t a bad thing.

And they were all better in the booth.  Just because he was/is great at riding a motorcycle, does not and will not guarantee he will ever be good at his current job.  I have tremendous respect for what he accomplished on a motorcycle, but he is not cut out for his current assignment.

Weege, JT$, Brayton and Ashley Reynard would be my squad.  I’d tone down the Weege and JT$ Lawrence fanboi ism, sit back and enjoy the show.

Ashley Reynard was awesome...she was so much better than than Shrill Chrisitien.       I also think Haley Shanley (RDL) is very good.

Your posting reflects that you may want to reduce your consumption

Either RC or Feld have spent lots of money getting Ricky coached…pure and simple.

I like RC because he was one of the best the sport ever produced. And yet he seems humble when they talk about his past.

That thread title needs to lose the word 'Good'.

I have a mini stroke every time one of the announcers asks him a question or to explain something or he sees a crash and starts saying “you see, what happened there was…”

We must be listening to different broadcasts. He is never right about anything, he never calls any pass correctly or gives any insight into anything. The most laughable is when he tries to explain the LCQs like he has any experience about what it’s like to be in an LCQ!

in addition to his new announcer catch phrases:

clutch pass, what is key here, to your point… that’s is a new one I am hearing lately from a lot of broadcasters on different channels “to your point” so it must be a recent addition on the “this is how you sound intelligent ” list of catchy phases for broadcasters! 😂
