Has any media outlet reached out to NBC, RC, or Leigh to get their side and/or reactions?

We will never know. Media is silent.

They are not silent, just taking a neutral stance.  I just think interviewing Ricky and the "NBC guy" would be the answer.  These are public figures that have come under fire and hearing both sides would be great

I honestly dont GAF about any of the drama playing out on this one,  but only popped in to say, 

ML512 does one helluva good job and is wise beyond his years.   I wish I coulda had his level head when I was at that age,,  and Im saying that as an oldphart who still isnt wise at all.

Well said, and I agree with you on all levels (including how much I care).  But you hit on Michael on all points there, he definitely has earned a lot of respect.

ARandomUsername or something like that, same guy who had a huge hard on for ML but tried to disguise it by giving him shit at every opportunity for being part of the do nothing bro media. Dude was/is a huge tool that won’t stfu or go away

What's clear is there is no "moto-media".

As ML said, he does many different jobs and is friends with people he has to report on - this is not journalism.

 

Moto is just too small and insular to have a real media, nothing wrong with that. Just wish people were as open as ML is about it. "He's my friend so I'm not reporting it". Simple and transparent.

Can we just resurrect Speedvision and move SX back to it? Just clean the slate. Bring in DB, Stew, and Emig.

 

Also, bring back Pinks and Passtime.

I already commented on this. Yes, I will ask. I can’t drop absolutely everything I work on to spend the next two days trying to get all these answers.

The Deegan / Lawrence AuSX thing? Spent two full days completely ignoring all my other work to get that even most of the way through. (That was in off season, this is not)

Deegan bike claim? Over 12 hours of calls and interviews.

I literally stayed up for 48 hours working over the weekend on race coverage, photos, travel, etc. Gimme a break people.

Trust ML, I’m not trying to be a bootlicker or anything, but a large majority of us appreciate the work you do without commenting on it

Another thread about this? Wow. You guys really think RC gives 2 sh*ts about this? Nope. This is like some low level commentator riling the feathers of Tiger Woods or Michael Jordan and having them snap at him and then hitting up a podcast and bitching about it. ReallllY??? After being retired for almost 20 years, RC is still the GOAT, still #1 name in this sport...by far. DB did himself no favors by going "public" with this little butt hurt dust up. And all of you bitching about RC...if you had a chance to meet him at a race, you'd be the first ones to tell him how great he is and all he does for the sport. I highly doubt you'd bring up the DB garbage.

That's where you'd be wrong. An entire fanbase coming at you from every angle. I guarantee you dude is a nervous wreck right now.

You sound like someone who throws a temper tantrum though over something incredibly small because they don’t know how to manage their emotions leading up to their breaking point

Lol...sure. I think it's frigging comical in its sheer stupidity. Kind of like watching Ridiculousness.

Correct. And JT better watch out - RC will be ready to lash out. 

He must be pretty nervous as he knows he's miles better than RC at commentating and as all this drama has revealed, Creepy Uncle RC don't take to kindly to being upstaged.

I think all the stuff DB claims probably did happen, but as far as the media coverage, I am not sure if Brady and Burkhardt caused a fan favorite to quit the fox nfl broadcast any mainstream sports media would be getting a lot of heat for not digging into personality conflicts. Seems a little more in the realm of TMZ.

DB has already said what happened: “the head guy pulled me in his office and told me to shut up and go to work or he will replace me with a rubber chicken, it hurt my feelings so I quit!”
