Not a broadcast complaint thread.

Just for fun, seems like every week we hear:

Beumer used to race Jet skis...

Masterpools parents were skiers...

The Lawrences weren't rich growing up...

I know there are more, who's got 'em?

steel frames are better on hardpack

who is choosing paddle tires today

star racing powerhouse team

Pro Circuit curse

Jett and the donuts

start grates are making everyone too bunched up

that moves not going to go over well with Webb

Webbs racecraft

its repeated over and over and its getting stale.  how about having a meeting weekly and brainstorm something fresh to say.  every high school newspaper knows how to do this

You don’t want to make enemy’s with Anderson

Plessinger has an advantage in the mud

Sexton is his own worst enemy 

Malcom is the fastest in the whoops 

Deegan’s cocky but backs it up

Barcia’s gonna Barcia, 

A good start is key

Its better to follow than lead 

Jett has another gear

Look at the bright side: at least they're giving The Crafty Frenchman and El Chupacabra a rest... for now.Grinning

But then again, they might just be in The Kitchen getting a Two for One on Donuts.

Close - from his unicorn days.

HIs unicycling days were during his time with the circus - not his finest hours.

It happens.

“They found something on the bike, but they wouldn’t say what”

 

It’s a damn dirt bike, not a pot of gold nor nuclear launch codes….Does Kawasaki really think by revealing they went to a softer shock that Star Yamaha is all the sudden going to gain a massive advantage?

That’s McGrath, that’s why he was so talented in SX. Had that MTB flow.

"He was good all day" 

"I felt good all day"

Never understand why this sport gives so much of a fuck about practice. Who cares if a guy qualifies 3rd if he goes 8-9 in the motos.

Focusing on “stories” instead of the competition unfolding right in front of our eyes is due to an unfounded fear that the audience will get bored and tune out. It’s old school broadcasting think. Some might even call it journalism. But what we want, on race day, is competent COVERAGE. Save the stories for the podcasts after the race.

Gate position is key - then someone from way outside holeshots.

Unless it's baseball. Harry Carey, Bob Uecker, Phil Rizzuto and Vin Scully were often times more entertaining than the game! ⚾️
