Tired of all this British Dribble

I just want to say that I was so relieved when I clicked this thread and realized that it has nothing to do with me... Haha.

Then it's stupid of you to listen.  I don't even hear it.  Like, sound pretty low and not paying attention to them regardless who is in the booth.  I can spin it up if there is news they are busting out that actually matters in the moment.  Most of the commentary and between race filler is just that, filler.

You're a motocross fan, trust your eyes.  You can see the screen and the tower, and they aren't telling you about anything other than what is on the screen and what the producers are putting in their ears.

You know the sport and you don't  need them to explain it to you or to explain to you what's happening.   It's stupid to decide to pay attention to the things that make your experience worse.   And the performative bitching about drags this place down.  It makes it seem like you all embrace moto to make yourselves miserable and slap each other on the back about it.

Does anyone else wonder how some threads are not immediately Dumbgeoned?

I know the Sean Strickland part is a joke but that guy seems to be about as intelligent as a can of beans.

“Arizoneria”

Damn I would hate to ever meet your family. Sounds like you’re doing a bang up job. 

^^^This^^^
 

Maybe listen to music during the race? You already know the sport well. You don’t need announcers anyway. I listen to music during football games. 

O.K. …

Let’s take a look at what we have here.

Cool Hand may have dropped the ultimate fishing hook right from the start! Calling an Aussie a Brit is the ultimate shit-slinging joke….or insult…depending on its use, intent or implication. 

Motoxdoc took it to new heights of virtue signaling by tossing on some sort of “Anglo on Anglo” racism as he started collecting his pitchforks & torches. That is HILARIOUS. 

Tyler comes in with a dose of reality-come-humor and then goes…”Whatever, I’d pay money to hear Malin do it solo…” and he’s (Malin) as a qualified as they come. So…I’m goin with Tyler on this one and I’m thoroughly enjoying his intellect and humor…and the fact that he NAILED IT.

Tyler’s someone that makes me laugh by throwing the truth out in front of me and making me laugh at the reality of things…

Here’s a pic of Tyler doing his thing…

Notice the veins in his forehead as he’s asking,”W T F is wrong with you people?! Tell me! Tell me!” 

This is a really great idea. Let's kick out Kenny, the Lawrence's, Shimoda, Anstie, Decoster and then let's not forget to get rid of every single bike in the paddock. Can't wait to watch tracks made with shovels being ridden by guys riding Classic Harley's, wonder how long you'd have to go back to find a fully American made made with no foreign parts

The shovels are probably made in china.

And more than a few of the parts on hogs come out of mexico.

🤨🤣

The best mx announcer in the game is British and that’s Paul Malan!! He does it by himself and has total control of the mxgp series including where the camera guys need to be so you don’t miss the race like we do every sat nite here!!

I'm not a fan of Diffy and would rather have weege. The thing that blows me away is the trackside reporting. RC will throw it down to Will who in return will ask RC a question. Are you freaking serious that is what she has to offer. I can only imagine JT shaking his head when he hears that exchange. Now I think we see why Blair was so quick to leave the broadcast team 

If you feel that strongly about it being American SX, I suppose you'll need to get rid of Jett and Hunter Lawrence, Ken Roczen, Dylan Ferrandis, Fredrik Noren, Jo Shimoda, Tom Vialle, Guillem Farres, Anthony Bourdon, Enzo Lopes, Cole Thompson, Matti Jorgensen, Max Anstie, ...

Only fair, right? 

Plenty of accents that we could rally around. 
 

give me a West Virginia a Boston, a New York and a Newfoundlander instead of Brits 

Gotta keep em on their toes.

Love this place 

Weege belongs in the booth.  

I’m not a fan of Leigh’s overall presence in the booth. It never made sense to me to bring him in. I liked Langston because he had a much better personality, knowledge etc. His accent was fine for the booth IMO. I wouldn’t care to hear a strong NY or southern accent either. I’d also much rather have Weege in the booth to replace him.

Just curious, do any of the Euro, British, Russian, Japanese or Australian series use American commentators as the lead guy or at all in the booth? 

In all fairness, the riders & the lead commentator in the booth are completely different. You don’t hear them talk the entire 3hrs calling the races. I see nothing wrong with wanting a guy like Weege over Leigh for an American series. Grant Langston’s accent was fine but Leighs is annoying to me. I could listen to Reed calling the race for 3hrs just like I enjoy Malin calling MXGP. I wouldn’t want to listen to a strong NY or southern accent for 3hrs either & I live in the Deep South. It’s just personal preferences man & nothing more.
 

I agree . I grew up herring my family’s Dutch accent. And alll the Easter European women’s wicked cool accents. All there r,s a great, motor oil you need to hear that pronounced by a Romanian or any of them. But Diffy,s voice is very annoying.  I should do it but my voice is probably too low, sexy and pastionatly haunting. I Here it all the time your voice , I never heard of 1 like it.  Yrs ago I started a sexy voice contest in Ny. A bunch of drivers giving samples of there sexy voice. We were laughing.  The main judge was a waitress on a cig break . She said that 1 , my voice . And what do you look like boy. She said talk some more. I say where you at doll maybe we hv more in common that a voice. She said at the TA . I said I just rolled out of there. I took a peak of the restaurant r you the 1 with black cropped hair & the Hot body. She says yeah etc.  it was funny some black drivers trying a Barry white voice . She,d say that’s a very low voice . I,d say the same then tell her to

move the speaker closer to your body . And feel my sexy voice penetrate into your sexy body into your spine flowing a tingling sensation from your head to your painted cute toe nails . She’s going nuts give me your # etc.  the other drivers joked ,dam he just picked up a fine woman with out meeting her. I,m taking notes & waiting for the release of the sexy voice instructional tapes. Haha 

Why would we? All we read each week is how bad they perform 😅

He’s not British hes Austrian, crying shame he’s not on a KTM! 😂

Always fun when you land a big one....

Aint nuttin going to be write until there’s some decent murican  hillbillies nouncin words in det booth. If dem forgeingers learns to rides motorcycles then thay can hav forgeigners anounce wurds to us. 
 And the correct word is “drivel” for the uneducated 🤦‍♂️🇺🇸

RC has been speaking Pidgin for years on the broadcast.  You haven’t noticed?

It's fine to not like it, opinions are fair enough.

But anyone who says they can't understand British or Australian people must be dumb as shit?

I'm plenty dumb and I've met and understood people with thick accents from Texas, Boston, Rhode Island,  loads of European, middle eastern and Asian countries, etc...

@cool_hand

Just double checked things with ChatGPT, it seems like you were kind of complimenting the British folks on the broadcast:

ChatGPT

Ah, I understand. "British dribble" could be interpreted as a cultural reference, though it's not a widely recognized term. However, it might be used colloquially to describe a particular style of speaking or mannerism associated with British people, especially in terms of their eloquence, wit, or tendency to engage in verbal banter.

British culture is often associated with a rich tradition of literature, humor, and linguistic playfulness, so "British dribble" could be a playful way of referring to the art of verbal expression or banter commonly associated with British culture.

BTW, you are not going to enjoy the Olympics this Summer as Leigh Diffey will be on point for the track and field events. 

And it’s funny because the countries that you and Leigh come from are about as far apart as you can get 😂😂🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

There is no shortage of TV talent in America. Plus, you don’t have to pick from the current or past crew of commentators of the US series. I loved Ralph & Emig. I think Weege, Jason & Ricky are great, plus I doubt they’re going anywhere. I think Jason will be able to move to the booth at some point in his career. 

But there would no Vital anymore. Watched last might and had no problem, actually enjoyed it, just like old days.
