They had the total package.  Great chemistry together.  We should have paid up to keep them on board, and even expand their role. They were articulate and capable of pit reporting, and they never turned down a selfie photo-op with me.

Who gives a fuck?

Some of you just don't get it, they are not trying to appeal to you they already have you, they are trying to get new fans from multiple demographics.

Every week is a whingefest, give it time you guys will start crying about JS7.

You’re right. It’s still hard not to be annoyed at some things. I think there’s a difference between being annoyed, and yelling at clouds wondering why they don’t make changes. I’m at the point now where I realize it is entirely futile to wish for changes, but I still find things about it annoying. 90% of my annoyance is in SX, though.

To be honest, she is much better than the last few. Jamie Little really set the bar high and Jenny Taft was amazing as well. My favorite was probably Georgia Lindsay, but not sure what happened there. Since then, they've all been leaving a lot to be desired. I appreciate that Katie at least knows the sport and seems to have knowledge about what's going on

She was clearly nervous.   Give her a chance.   At least she gets to fucking point quickly and doesn't yammer on endlessly

On point!
 

plus there is a post race re cap. Show and tell all the shit then.  When the race is happening call the damn race and that’s it.   Want to know how to do it, go back and watch Carlsbad on ABC or American Sports Cavalcade.  Sometimes less is more and in our sport this rings 100% true.

Personally, I think she did just fine. Give her a chance.

I pride myself on not complaining about the broadcast as I grew up waiting a week or more after the race for a one hour broadcast of highlights . That said, this Katie chick is horrendous. It’s unwatchable whenever she speaks as she can’t get through a sentence without “bobbling”. Also, JS7 is not much better. If I have to hear him say the word “but” much more I’m going to throw my speaker through a window. He also consistently butchers well known sayings/analogies and just overall uses the wrong adjective to describe what he’s trying to say. It’s horrible!

Jett’s Lingering!!  Uh I think you mean laboring James. Can we please get someone that at least graduated HS before they could legally drink.

Georgia was married (or engaged, I forget) to Jimmy Albertson aka Ronnie Mac so she was around the moto scene before grabbing a microphone. They broke up, she moved back home to England and moved on from broadcasting, married some normal bloke and is a happy mother now.

I want two stroke oil that smells good. Followed by a 3 page discussion.

So and so is switching riding gear from this to that. Followed by a 4 page discussion.

Has there ever been a race where you girls didn't complain about the broadcast?

No, I called it in the thread about who might be in the booth. I said it didn't matter, Vitards would be bitching about it 10 minutes after the race. A little side track on the booth but still relevant.

I think this is more about sexism than anything. Every female reporter you guys bitch about. I'm sure you're not perfect in your job either. Nobody is. James miss pronounces words, weege mixes up riders for example mixing jett and chase up in moto 2, did it in sx too. It's okay, you don't have to get your panties wadded up over it. 

Jamie, Jenny, Georgia, Juliana, hell DD was good too when she did bits. They were/are great female reporters and ones I’d gladly watch again! I’m not going to apologize for calling out a professional doing a shit job on a National broadcast. There are levels to this stuff. Having that chick and Weege on the same broadcast team is a travesty.

Uh, no.

While you were typing that, I was on my way home from the Baja 500 where I watched the H-Town Nat’s live after starting my race at 2:40 a.m. …

*then

Jenny Taft set the standard for coming into this sport with little background and still reporting like a pro. 

Y'all remember she won us over within the first few rounds of Supercross with her enthusiasm, accuracy in reporting and finding relevant information. 

Jenny and Kelli "Lets Go Brandon" Stavast. Both were really good

Everyone hates on wil, and I don’t get it..

Her job is to get these stories and tell them when the racing gets flat.. it’s the same with JT’s story about “I talked to Lars about the suspension components” 

yeah we know JT, we heard it on pulp..

my point is, JT’s story and Wil’s story are both interesting, yet long..  but they guy that decides to throw the mic to them to hear a long winded story when there is about to be a pass for the lead is the real problem..

these trackside and Pitt reporters job is to tell these stories.. the producers that decide when are the problem..

I turned it off after the 1st 250 moto. I will not watch it live again until it's just 3 guys. So disappointing to have to listen to that constant garbage.

Only joking man, kind of, but that's crazy.

You'll miss out on races like this weekend because some chicks talks shit for a little bit? I don't get why it stresses people out so much, just zone out for a second and think about the racing...
