CARMICHAEL VS BLAIR

What happened? 

You even commented in the other DB thread, you know there was no need for this one.

RC definitely has something against Daniel. Has for quite some time. Real reason why? ....Not sure. 

I know Daniel. 
I’ve been around Ricky a bit.

I -REALLY- don’t want a dog in this fight. Fuck! 

But, in the end, and I really hate saying this…

This is becoming one of those…”The Problem is Obvious” situations & someone needs to address this shit. 

DB kicks RC's Arse in broadcasting, and RC is flummoxed what to do about it. 

DB is smooth, composed, fluid, likable.

RC is disjointed, awkward, insecure, lost at times.

The Arlington race last week with RC and weege was hard to listen to.  Terrible chemistry and flow.  RC stepping on weege constantly.

Perhaps obvious to some, but all I see is people talking around the issue without ever actually stating the issue. 

I’m not asking you to lay it out there, just pointing out that it’s not obvious to all.
 
Edit: TeamGreen, that’s not directed at you specifically, just the subject as a whole. I don’t know either personally so can’t judge. I do know that I really dislike RC as an announcer. 

Yes very annoying. If your not gonna say what is so obvious why even say anything at all?

At some point Daniel needs to say what's really going on or shut up about it

I have no doubt it’s Ricky, but it’s time for Blair to stop being vague and do his best to respectfully tell people what’s going on.  The bridge seems to be burned and the people opposing him aren’t holding back from cutting his opportunities whether he explains his side or not.  Doesn’t seem like there’s a lot to lose.

Maybe it has nothing to do with RC. Could it be because he left and they said “too bad, you left and aren’t welcome on a broadcast of any sort any longer”?

Could be but then why invite him to be in RDL and then the day before say, nah why don’t you stay home?

Was it an “official” invite, or was it from someone that really didn’t have the authority to invite him?

Huuuuge DB fan but he’s been very clickbaity lately.  

I would assume an official invite but who knows with this janky sport maybe it’s just people texting each other “sure stop in the booth Saturday”

Right. Say it or don't. A tweet or a post from someone on social media, "Omg you can't believe this day." It gets the person all kinds of questions asking what happened, if they're ok, etc. But they never actually answer any questions. It's attention whore behavior.

I religiously follow several big name motorsports, and dirt bikes are by far the worst with this "I'm going to say something cryptic without explicitly saying it or explaining" kind of BS. Either drop the whole truth or shut up. From announcers, "industry insiders" on podcasts, the whole lot of them all tap dance around actually saying something meaningful but have no problem leaving these stupid bread crumbs. The culture of fear around retribution is crippling motocross journalism. Grow some balls like you had on the track. So annoying as a fan. 

💯, bad enough in this place with anonymous posters saying “I know something, but can’t tell” but then when you have players in the industry afraid to speak up in fear of being black listed. Damn shame there are people with so much power they can silence so many voices 

It’s gotta be Ricky. I had doubt before, but this is just getting ridiculous. 

Blairs fake news and nothing but drama. Can't stand him

Did all of this dB vs rc  "discussion" come from that Arlington 2023 video, or is there more to the story?

EXACTLY, but he won't, he just wants attention.

Not sure how I didn't see it earlier, but the Arlington vid was wild. Surprised it is still up.

It should be  Grant Langston.  Danie Blair And filthy PHIL.. bottom line it's a redneck sport that nobody gives 2shits about in the big scale of things . Nbc Trying to make it a thing it will never be ....what happens when the Energy drinks are gone??????? 

Yep. I like DB but making leading vague open statements like that is very Karen FB attention seeking behaviour

Blair attention seeking- now there’s a thing..

The pair of them could take part in a dwarf throwing contest, except they are the dwarves. Each gets to choose a big person to throw them. The one who travels the furthest gets the colour commentary gig. Simple. 

Wow we in the Dumbgeon already? Interesting 🤔 

Didn’t take it personal, at all…but, thanks for clarifying.

My “the problem is obvious” is that…and stick with me here…

SOMEONE DOES NOT WANT DANIEL ON AIR. Period. 

So, who…EXACTLY has such a boner for Daniel and why?

I, also, find it interesting that this hit the Dumbgeon so quickly; but. the usual suspects had come in here and started getting very “Tony” about shit and that gets very, very old with the admins up in here…& that’s something I do understand.

No worries. I’m gonna reach out to Daniel with an idea…

We’ve got this.
