As a long time fan I guess I'd rather listen to a guy that knows the sport like he does.but diffey is probably good for that...

The yeling announcer is what they seem to be going to the last few years; CFB is becoming unbearable. Seems like they're trying to emulate the Spanish speaking soccer announcers - not a fan... by a longshot.

That segment with MC and Brayton and AC bench racing was probably the best thing Race Day Live has ever broadcast.

*Edited to include my boy JT.

Also to whoever in the production crew that likes to preach the "growing the sport" nonsense.If a new viewer stumbled upon this they'd think ok cool...

Also to whoever in the production crew that likes to preach the "growing the sport" nonsense.

If a new viewer stumbled upon this they'd think ok cool, those dudes are the fastest and I don't even know who they are because I never saw them. 

AND the core moto guys are pissed too. Nobody can say this is well run. 

Couldn't wait to watch this today, and now I'm going to do chores until the race starts because it's a complete waste of time. 

One of the main problems is they use RDL as practice for their stupid media bits they do during the night show

So instead of treating qualifying like F1 or MotoGP where all the focus is on what's happening on track and who is setting a fast time, they treat it like a background for their production practice:

Oh we've got a bit about Jorge Prado? Let's practice it now for the night show and watch him cruise around the track. Same thing happened with the AP interview. 

But hell, we followed Freddie Noren around for an entire lap for no reason at all so maybe they just DGAF

Right, hitting the bullet list, Eli goes P1, clueless.

Yup. And the only people watching are the hard core fans.

Yes, he's an option too, but why not Masterpool? That way Mitch doesn't add a 6th guy, and has 3 on East instead of 4.

I swear every time they have MC on RDL they always talk to him about Jett beating his records. Must be exhausting.

For the bed bugs shitting on Kitchen and thinking this "sickness" was a good excuse to avoid Deegan, lest not forget Captain Americas excuse for skipping out on facing the fastest 250 guys in the world at MXoN.

Yeah surgery is way less of a deal than being sick

I'd like to see RDL evolve. We don't even have to have the cameras follow the rider setting the fastest time. But I'd like to see JB and AC keep an eye on the timing and comment on it as it's happening, not be surprised by it at the end. 

There was a great back and forth there in 450 Qualifying #1 between Jett, Sexton, and Tomac but it was completely missed. Comes across as clueless, which is the opposite of reality with these guys. 

There's more than enough time for the interviews and puff pieces.
