Daniel Blair on RC and Leaving NBC

1/17/2025 5:07pm

I'm looking forward to Listening to RCs analysis of this weekends racing on race day. If all you crybaby DB nut swingers 🍼 wanna hear your boy DB, I think he has a mid week show with Matthes.

Without all the other hoopla, i hope Daniel Blair can find another way to reach his goal of commenting on College football games.


I 1000% fucking hate higher ups who do what was done to DB. Its the plight of alot of people that those kind of higher ups affect.

That dream is probably dead, He's sort of bailed on the whole TV thing.  Seems like he wants to help the younger generation and families that are trying to progress through the sport.

I think DB was already a really good commentator and had even more potential. Ultimately we don’t have great commentators (averaging the comments as best I can across the internet) and it is a shame for DB and for the fans of the sport he is out as he would have improved things IMHO.

I agree the SX commenting is shit, so is the video quality and production etc. Seemed way better a few years back.

Armchair psych trigger warning...

he's got some npd or significant narcissism. Grew up with a mother that busted his ass on the daily and provided very conditional praise only. He self worth was directly tied to how he rode. That's been his whole life. Always had a chip on his shoulder despite being the best from early on. It's different when it's the mother busting your ass and not the father. You need that maternal support.

 I don't know what happened in his marriage, but it failed. This is another sign he never healed that mother wound (or just married the wrong person because of it). Going off podcasts, He doesn't relate to people as friends like Blair and Matthes do. Everyone is an object or a competitor. He tries like hell to get around it, but the dynamics are pretty clear to me. It's a fucked up deal. He probably feels like all he has is this gig from an identity standpoint and he ain't gonna let some slick talking arenacross hack finesse him out of it. He can't just go race cars or bikes or be a family man, because his sense of self worth and identity come from the outside, he needs to be watched and praised to feel whole

Interesting analysis. Are you a shrink? 

Kind of makes me think all those comments towards Jeff weren’t just two guys joking around. I remember some of the things he would say on air if Broc Tickle was having a bad night during the HRC days and wonder how bad it must have been off air. 

The way DB answered some of those questions with gratitude commentating with someone he admired is pure class.

For someone that has disdain for keyboard warriors he sure has turned into one. FYI I would never say any of this to your face.

I love it, earlier in the thread we had an armchair phsycologist analyzing RC for us 😂. And now another video surfaces showing the ruthless and anti social RC in the wild.  This guy!

All I know is it would’ve been great if DB would have gave RC “some elbow grease” during that video

I know DB said there was some fracturing of the relationship between him and RC in his last year and a lot of this thread is about that but I don’t think RC is the main character here. DB said it all started in 2020 when there was a misunderstanding with one of his colleagues that got him in the doghouse with NBC from the start. Guess who joined the broadcast team in 2020…Leigh Diffey. Leigh Diffey is NBC’s golden boy, being the lead play-by-play guy for most motorsports on NBC, and I’m sure his word carries a lot of weight with the top dogs. I’ve heard Daniel talk about every other person he has worked with and he’s really only talked positively of them, even was nice about RC, but the only time I’ve heard him reference Diffey is on his Patreon podcast when they would say that they watch the races on mute when he’s announcing or the last time he was referenced DB said something along the lines of “I’m not touching that.” 

DB was the fill in guy for Diffey and if he was getting all this praise from fans, I could see a certain “sensitive colleague” getting their ego bruised and doing what he could with his powers to keep DB below him as a part time SX only guy. 

I think this holds more weight then RC and makes more sense to me.

Nah the RC hate is strong on Vital so they blame him and only him. Brainwashed by all of Cockseys anti RC videos. Vitards can't think for themselves.

(skip to 12:30)

Just wanted to bring this back to light, as many people at the time said it just seemed like two friends ripping on each other… if you ask me, Ricky’s being a real asshole here. I wouldn’t want to work alongside the guy either.

Personally, I hope he takes over the Pulp show once (or if) Steve decides to ever hang it up. Hoping SXU brings him some success though, DB deserves it.

WOW. Lost what little respect I had for RC after watching that. I always had a sneaking suspicion RC was this type a clown behind the scenes. Pathetic. Take your wins and titles and get out of here dude. The sports better with RC in the history books ✌🏽

The first step in getting help is admitting you have a problem.  Unfortunately narcism is not something that normally gets fixed.

I admit, it's hard to put your pride to side when another man blatantly disrespects you.

One door closed and another opened. DB may be done in the booth.... for now, but the guy has his shit together. He'll be alright

Ironic that the guy who has an inability to admit fault in himself is accusing someone else of narcissism.

nah, just had personal experience with it in a couple close relationships, and try to study it. You're a professional counselor IIRC?

DB is class for sure. I don't think RC has empathy to spare for anyone...he never got any. I don't like how he patronizes certain people he's close with on the broadcast, good or bad. Swoll and Roczen especially. Ironic how vocal he can be here given he seems to hold back actual analysis/opinion on other things.

I have no problem admitting fault. Like I said before, just LMK if I am at fault. All this fault surely would be easy for your to point out, no?

Why don’t you point them out to me?  someone who isn’t a narcissist would be able to admit there own faults. So why don’t you tell me when you were wrong about something?  My guess is you won’t because you could never admit it.

What's your excuse for making countless personal attacks and dog-pilling folks on the internet for mundane issues?
