Why do screech and marble mouth get more airtime than Weege?

2/2/2025 3:12pm

Unfortunately $JT is going down the network Broadcast route. He is getting sucked into this irrelevant babble. 
Stay true and core Jason, you are better than them…

The whining on the forum is worse than anything on the broadcast. We get high def SX/MX for 5 hours 31 times a year, be happy. 

Seriously. I'll throw a jab in at RC here and there. He's not good, whatever. But the racing is so good and I'm so focused on it, it's such small potatoes to me. I barely notice the broadcast. Certainly not enough to have a thread about it every week

DB should have toughed it out;  things would be different.

I feel like I bitch the most about stuff on here at times...but Jesus Christ can you guys just stop with the RC announcing hate. He's not as bad as you say he is. Ralph/Emig were undeniably terrible. But I don't need to make a new Topic about it every FKN week.

Wil seems like a nice lady and clearly gets on with people in the pits. She speaks well and does her job but I just don’t understand why the things she says are in the race and not exclusively before or even after as a means of additional context. I feel like In no other sport do we have the announcers “throwing it down” every 5 minutes to a reporter

I agree . The announcing doesn't really bother me although I do like it better when James is there . 

The production could be better as far as staying on close racing etc.   but I still enjoy settling in and watching.

Agreed. He's got it. I think he finds his way back in some form. 

It's a sad day when merit isn't rewarded. Yes, he could have and arguably should have stuck it out and that's part and parcel of "success", but I can't blame him for the decision he made. Life's pretty short to be around soul suckers all day.

Emig/Ralph weren't great but they were more tolerable. Partly Jeff's voice and partly him not being a raging narcissist. Ricky just has this "listen to me!" Vibe every time he opens his mouth. "That's a great point JT [goes on to repeat verbatim JTs actual analysis].."

Fro improved tremendously over the years. Ricky hasn’t, and may have even regressed. His forced “corporate speak” simply doesn’t resonate, which is disappointing as RC can deliver the goods when going off-script.

I don't hear a word she says, but she's hot as hell.

Agreed. RC learns how to stop using certain crutch phrases but doesn't actually improve. Sadly even Fro was susceptible to the corporate guidelines, and/or he's just too nice of a guy or too close to the industry to call it like it is.

I understand her voice is atrocious.  But it’s what she’s saying that kills me.  It’s NEVER relevant.and always about what someone said “last week”

It must be some kind of plan by NBC to increase female/they viewership.  All her contributions are female orientated in that they have a gossipy overly emotional feel. "I was talking to Kenny's wife Courtney there....blah blah blah...about his home life...".  STFU.

  Talk about the race. Not reports from earlier or interviews with a hurt rider. Honestly even if will is amazing it’s too many reports. Drop her and turn up  the track sound. That’s all we need.

I've been muting Will for a long time and lately have started just leaving it muted after she's finished her dribble. I find I actually can concentrate on the race more when I'm not being subject to all the chatter. The only people I value listening to on the broadcast are JT, and Stew when he's on.

RC has gotten worse and seems more self conscious these days. It goes to show that it's not all about hard work because it's not for a lack of trying and he even said how mad it makes him when he messes up (on gypsy). On a dirt bike yes he worked hard, maybe the hardest, but I also dont think it would matter how hard any of his opponents worked - he was going to win because he was better than them. He just doesnt have the same flow with calling a race and thats fine but I think its hard to deal with as someone who was told how great he was from childhood to 27

Anyone else read these threads and feel like each post needs an RC inspired 'what I mean by that...' added?

The one thing you can ALWAYS count on is when they pass it to Will, something exciting will happen on the track that she will not stop to mention, then by the time she is done, it's no loner relevant. 

Opposite to this is JT, he ALWAYS interrupts his segment to call action if it's happening.  And he does a good job at it too!

It's all good. There was a time you waited all year to watch one race that happened 6 months ago interspersed with downhill skiing or figure skating, and we were still grateful. 😂
