Every time the Peacock broadcasters are forced to call Rick the greatest of all time… dude just gloats. 
Not 1 ounce of humility. 
Forget about the hack commentary, incomplete sentences, and pointless points, nobody really expects a former athlete to be a great play by play guy… 

AC is ready for his job right now. Right now. Wheel tap it.

Tonight was especially bad for him in the booth. His in race predictions are never right. It’s actually funny at this point.

Weird how he just can’t stop criticizing Sexton.  We get it but what’s the deal ?

I actually have found it odd myself they start off every broadcast saying it when they introduce him. Kinda weird.

Can't say Always.  Records are made to be broken.

That was cringe worthy today. Holy shit he was ragging on sexton hard.

Because both RC and RV think Sexton has the tools to be the next GOAT, but he’s not taking care of business.

Generally I would agree with you, for example, I NEVER thought anyone would have a chance to break Wayne Gretzky's goal scoring record, but Alex Ovechkin is actually going to do it! I mean he will never touch Wayne's overall points record, that is untouchable. RC's records are pretty fucking impressive-never having lost an outdoor title-10 straight-Can't see that ever being broken, nor his 150 win total. That is a lot of wins. Or his 2 undefeated outdoor seasons. Or lapping up the entire field at an AMA 450 outdoor race. These records to me are as untouchable as they come, so yes he is the GOAT, undeniably.

Honestly these last couple races something has changed about RC in the booth and I like it more, he’s gotten funnier without trying to be funny

Having had the privilege of watching the entire RC era, he earned every bit of the accolades and then some. That dude showed up ready for domination anytime, anywhere. Even when there were faster riders on a given weekend (Chad, James), it never lowered his confidence.

For one, I don't think he gloats at all. And if he did, ok? He's is the Greatest by a mile so he can talk that shit all he wants

And he never made excuses. It was always, 'I didn't have anything for him. I'm just gonna go home and work harder.'

RC deserves all of the accolades he gets.  But, records don't usually last forever.

Even McGrath's 72 wins, and 7 SX championships are up for grabs.

There are many, many examples in the record books of supposedly unbeatable records being beaten.

He did it with Tomac in Kawi days too.

When he sees the potential not being reached he points it out, Chase is a fantastic rider with huge holes in his game, he keeps doing the same stupid shit.

Saying RC shows no humility is way off the mark and if you don't think he is the GOAT not sure what you are looking at???????

Can you think of another athlete at Chase's level who makes that many mistakes? The criticism is warranted. He's a head case

Honestly in this sport there isn’t anyone close to challenge that intro. The networks are paying the GOAT so why not announce it during each intro. There may be some first time viewers or people that are new to the sport who have no idea it’s of RC’s accomplishments. I took 3 grandkids to the San Diego SX and they do know the current riders but have no idea who RC is

6 years? Jeez, what's his deal?

 

And RC is just fine as a "color guy".
