youre right. ive said it before and ill keep saying it, thats the mark of a narcissist.
he SHOULD be defending himself against why he cant criticize people in general (deegans, monster and triumph riders, etc), instead he goes for the obvious, which means he probably actually doesn't like chase in reality.
i'd argue AC92 didnt reach his potential BECAUSE he's such a thinker. hard to turn the brain off when you have a big one.
As long as Sexton keeps making mistakes it's RCs job to be critical of it. Pretty simple
Yes, you are correct. There are two different conversations going on here versus what the original poster asked….but they seem to go hand-in-hand with what has been happening in the booth lately. One thing I noticed is that the other announcer… whoever it may be that is with RC and JS seems to be pretty seamless when announcing the race, but as soon as RC or JS start to comment on something, I say “here we go”. A good example to compare that is with the NBA. The San Antonio Spurs have Sean Elliott, former Spurs player, announcing some of the home games. great guy, awesome basketball player, but he sucks in the booth. As a former player for the Spurs, he interjects too much of his personal thoughts into the game that’s going on. He likes to say “our guys” and this and that instead of just calling it like he sees it. He seems to go off on a tangent and misses some of the action as it is happening while the other announcers are pretty seamless. Just Google Sean Elliot NBA announcer sucks to see some of the things I’m talking about.

I've actually noticed that Webb seems to be much better in the whoops this year. You're absolutely right. That's definitely going to lead to a better pace. I stand corrected
Interjecting personal expert experience is the point of a color commentator rather than the play-by-play guy. They’re not supposed to call the action “play-by play,” they’re supposed to analyze different points that they see based on their experience. That’s why the play-by-play will defer to them for opinions and insight. Think Troy Aikman, Tony Romo, Tom Brady. They’re not calling the action, they provide insight into what’s going on behind the action. That’s why it’s RC’s job to be critical of a rider making those mistakes…is he good at announcing? Nah. But the critique was wholeheartedly deserved. Other critiques I’m not talking about, I’m talking about this specific event, in relation to RC’e supposed beef with Chase.
They are still "finding their zone" because they aren't educated. It's as simple as that.
They dedicated their lives to being badasses on dirtbikes from a very young age, which, unfortunately, requires education to be put on the backburner. They never learned how to properly construct thoughts and opinions into clear & concise speech. It's not something that comes naturally for most people; typically, it is a skill that must be developed... typically, as an adolescent in schooling, and not as a grown-up with a wife and children.
I listen to their pod on occasion, but it can be tough at times. Ricky will want Ryan's opinion on a matter, but will set him up with a diatribe of "okay so Ryan, tell us based on your experience what you think should've happened here. I've given my take, so tell the viewers at home what you think of this". Like, dude, all you have to say is "Ryan, your thoughts?". I'm pretty sure Ryan is familiar with the general concept of giving an opinion.
RC needs to shut the f up. Yeah bro I said itt. Even days after the race he still don’t understand the red flag and why they did 3 laps, And here comes the pass… ah no maybe later bro… he was one offene greatest but he should just sit back and watch
So RC was right last week and Chase goes out and proves it again. Lol.
Yea, of course there is a different narrative with Sexton, he has 11 sx wins and tomac has 53. 2nd oa on the win list gets you some leniency.
Imagine what all of the announcers would be saying if they weren't in the box?
It might sound more like a Vital Mx forum !
RC calls it like he was brought up, no excuses, dont keep making the same stupid ass mistake.
RC did mention that he has very high expectations of Chase, I think thats why we hear these auto reactions from him. Also, he is one of the very few that can legit criticize a rider at this level on air.
RC actually said nothing about that egregious but inadvertent cross jump. that was strangge. lots of mistakes tonight
He did that to Tomac a few races back too. That's bad form for Supercross.
I feel like that's what we all should be doing. How can you defend Chase right now? He is a very good rider that continues to put himself in a hole with mental mistakes. It's just fact. RC pointing that out doesn't mean he has beef or is hating. It's just pointing out what everyone should be thinking. I actually like him and want to see him battle Jett in the next few years, to be the top guy. I think his ceiling is high enough that he could be "the guy." But until Chase learns to clean up the silly mistakes, he will not beat Jett straight up for a title. I don't see why pointing that out is bad, when it's the truth. Chase continues to do it over and over so there is no way to argue against it, right now.
