I may or may not be promoting this. I put a screen shot of the poll results from the other thread on the face book mx fight page and told Indy goers to make signs of it 😂

No good will come of actions like that.    

We're a laughing stock within the motorsports world already....one step above Monster Trucks.

Crazy how this sport eats it's own....from the top, within and all the way to the lowly fans.

On the conversation of bosses, some bosses just flat out suck. Obviously this isn’t the norm but one time I had a boss swing a shovel at my head and it was only like 9 am. This hit especially close to home because I’ve been hit in the head by a shovel before, and had to get my head put back together so I moved on to a different construction company. You should never escalate to violence with a coworker or boss, but it’s understandable to have those feelings in a situation like Daniel had

I don't agree but DB got a taste of the corporate world. It's sucks and it's obviously not for everyone. Slimeball behaviour is rewarded and is the norm. It's happens everywhere. Not alot of people can bend over and just accept it. Unfortunately not much will happen to Diffey and RC. They'll continue to get alot of work from above. Other ass kissers in the industry will continue to suck up to the corporates. To me its pretty clear who these players are? Who won't have a strong opinion on it or comment on it at all? Who gets all the access, who's been around a long time, who gets all the opportunities etc. It's all very political. 

Regarding his video many on here saying DB shot himself in the foot and strategically/professionally for his future commentating career? I'm pretty sure he's thought long and hard about that already which is why he made the video. He's accepted it and he's moving on. Hopefully it works out for him.

I can’t read though this fast enough, I read a page and two more appear, I don’t see this just going away anytime soon.

I have always been a fan of Ricky as an elite athlete, but my entire family constantly jokes about how horrible he is in the booth. After watching the video of him belittling Blair, and then Blair‘s video describing what went down, I’m absolutely disgusted.

It is clear he is not a good human being, this is the same person that posts about anti-bullying, absolutely mind-boggling. I’m sorry, there’s no way he can unfuck this. He deserves everything he is getting right now, and while I am at it; FUCK Dillweed Diffy. Also a shitty  human being and worse commentator.

Ricky steps in at 12:33 for anyone who hasn't watched this yet. Wow, what a cork soaker.

Agreed.  You can tell by Ricky's facial expression and body language there is no joking around.  Unreal this happened and can't be denied.

Already know I’m gonna get downvoted big time for this and I’ll start with the fact that I’m a NorCal guy & a Daniel Blair fan from even before his days at Geico Honda. 

Did they conspire against him ?  Yes

Was he the best guy on the broadcast team but still was treated like the “little brother”? Yes

Was he a little soft and got butthurt way too much and ruined his chance of eventually being promoted instead of just accepting the way corporations work ? Yes

 
Looks like in the end he’s better off now, probably making a lot more money with his current endeavors but it’s a fact he burned bridges by being too emotional & not accepting the way things work.

As someone who was recently shafted on a promotion due to corporate politics, I get how shitty it feels but is part of corporate nature. However, regardless of how DB felt, it doesn’t change the fact that RC (and Duffy) were absolutely scum to him. I had seen that video before but rewatching it now really shows how RC felt threatened by DB…

Whatever happened to that bespectacled fucktard commentator that knew nothing about motocross?

Can’t believe there is 18 pages about commentator drama. Shows you why their egos are so goddamn inflated.

Nail, meet head.

Growing up racing, my brother was older and faster. For years, he would jump in my practice just to mess with me or take me out in front of everyone.


One day in all those years I was finally keeping pace, if not just an edge ahead. While he was trying to pass me, our lines crossed and he went down softly.


I went back to the truck, 30 seconds later he came hauling into the pits and beat the living shit outta me….he took me out 100 times, I was told to stop crying. I accidentally take him out once, I end up with a cracked rib.


Narcissists don’t believe in a two way street….

From the video, I got this feeling:

DB was giving the fans what they wanted. He's in the trenches more, also being with the amateur side, so he gathered info from everyone he talked to, and gave the people what they wanted.

The problem, is that's not what NBC wanted. They wanted more broad, less core moto. That was probably the biggest issue, DB giving the core fans what they wanted, NBC not liking it.

STands to reason.....        It's why we're subjected to the weekly "spoon feeding" as if we've never seen an SX race before.

You don't see this in ANY other freaking sport.

Why would the Monster series want to promote a guy tied to RB KTM - unfortunately he never had a chance

RC’s very limited command of the English language sure as hell isn’t helping, that’s for sure.

Honestly, RC talks like someone who hasn't read many books, this past weekend he just stopped mid-sentence like 4 times because he couldn't figure out what word came next. Butchers sayings, names, and just mixes up words. I don't think that's who you want if you want the sport to grow... Jesus... just listen to his Title 24 or whatever podcast.... a laughing stock.

Commentating a race shouldn't be a space to recall the "good ole days" or suck each-other off, most of the people listening don't even know who they are... if the sport wants to be taken seriously, as a professional sport, with real money... the very few spots we do get on TV need to be on point.

DB is the spin master for sure. He spun RC TIGHT!  I thought RC was gonna blow a blood vein. Dude was stroke level stressed. Little man was pissed. 

RC can race, but he can't analyze for shit. And he can't keep his cool it seems.

ill probably get downvoted for this, but i dont understand why people get so tore up about the broadcast. could it be better? yes. will they change anything to make it better? no. people have complained for how many years, and i cant think of one thing thats been changed for the better. it is what it is. i dont give a shit who is in the booth. they could put leigh, todd, rc, cameron steele, weege, will, jamie little, and erin bates all in the booth at the same time and i would still happily watch every single race. i get to watch mx/sx live year round for a relatively low price, and thats all i care about. 

I AGREE, ITS FAR FROM PERFECT BUT SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE DAYS WHEN I GOT TO SEE TWO SX RACES A YEAR AND HAD TO WAIT ALL WWEEK TO SEE HIGHLIGHTS ON MOTOWORLD OR DRIVE TO THE LOCAL DEALER TO BUY CYCLE NEWS

As had been mentioned in this thread, it seems like that happens to him when he has to listen to direction in his comms
