Pathetic

No, he was trying to refer to that fact, but he totally stated it wrong. My quote is EXACTLY what RC said. And it was terribly wrong number wise, and if he had said "100% of his wins have came from those victories" it would have been factually redundant.

Good job fucktard.

Us boomers remember one race a year. Carlsbad. No VCRs so if you weren't home and missed it you had to wait until reruns came on 6 months later and was edited to be shorter. Then 900 INFMOTO came along and you could get results after the race was over. Now you get live racing all year for way less than the price of a seat at a race and you guys piss and moan. I can tune out the announcers unless it's JT but I do hear some of the goofy stuff that comes out of their mouths. I can take it without being butt hurt. Let's go back to the 2 stroke days and no live televised races.

Most are missing the larger picture.  The production itself is god awful. You can have James and Weege in there, but when the cameras are on one thing, and James is trying to disect another thing, you have what we have.  A production that sucks.  The timing, the cameras, the communication it all is second hand.  Weege, and James as announcers SAVE that joke of a product.  They have all the cameras, live timing and etc.  They should be breaking down each segment, the riders, the bikes, lines, etc. instead we get fishing and 2nd grade analytics.  It is frustrating to see how poorly ran it all is and how people just accept it. 

The Australian/UK dialect is the most difficult part for me.  

The worst part of the broadcast isn't the awful announcing, it's the camera work. Staying on one guy in 4th or 5th for multiple laps while there's a tight battle for the lead or podium is unbelievably frustrating. 

The broadcast is so bad and NBC is so despicable i'm ready to just personally boycott the races over it. The series is already mostly over and all the entertaining riders are hurt anyway. I'll watch the crash reels on Tuesday or whatever 

@FastEddy to the courtesy phone!  

Any identical IPs from recently clicked accounts?

MX and SX are so different from most sports that it really is nearly impossible to broadcast anywhere close to the same. The action is spread out over so much area and the REAL interesting action is pretty unpredictable, so it’s mostly shown after it occurs. 

The best option is to eliminate the live broadcasts and go to next day, edited broadcasts where the announcers already know what is going to happen. 

Or NBC could just hire professional announcers, like the sport had in the early 2000's.

They won't do it though, they think fans are rednecks and they hate you. NBC wants to give you a bad experience intentionally. They don't give a damn about supercross. They are more focused on sexualizing your kid through subliminal and making another Democrat weirdo.

"DROOPS THE GATE!!" Made me lol

They did hire a professional tho. Diffey is a super well known announcer. Idc for him personally but they did hire someone who announced the Olympics. And RC and James are both super credible racers so obviously their insight is valuable. Even tho sometimes it’s not that great. Still cool they choose to be around the sport. 

The problem is NBC tries to caters to new fans and fans who don’t know that much. 

There is definitely room for improvement and obviously most of the hate/backlash recently for rc and diffey is from the DB video. 
Personally I think Weege should be in the booth every race. He’s the best at it. Also JB and AC both are amazing and one day may be in the booth so that’s a positive. But at the end of the day I love the sport and I’m going to watch it regardless who’s talking over the racing. 

No, this is not different than F1 or any other racing sport for that matter.  The only change is that our sports track changes more throughout the race, but we do not have pit stops.  We have certain real stories that are played out via racing.  Stick with those... No excuse for how awful this crap is.  They could do simple changes and it would be amazing. Instead, everyone pulls the "sport is difficult to follow the action" "it used to be this way back in the day"
Truth, the product is the same since racing in 2 strokes in 2000. Nothing has changed, have eyes on the main players moving through the pack and the leaders.  If something happens major in the back of the pack show a small quick replay and move on. The replays are god awful slow, the graphics look like someone made them off a floppy drive, and overall they are simply not in touch with the race. Too much left, right, front center, up down, up down, A B, A B, select start going on.  Slice this pie any way you like, it is a failure from Bondo

Somehow MXGP and MotoGP pull it off. It’s 100% the people in the booth and the production team dropping the ball. 

I wouldn’t mind the current announcers if they just called the race as it ran and stopped treating fans like they were watching it for the first time. 

Wonder if you can run the audio through AI software and extract the voices and only leave the crowd and bike sounds? 

That would be awesome.

If the races are too long just show highlights of the heats and LCQs, the way the coverage is now you wouldn't miss anything. Have a one day delay of the broadcast so they can script something for RC to say that doesn't make him look like an imbecile and they have time to get enough pictures of pro racers with fish to make the races more interesting to fishing enthusiasts.

You should. That’ll show em 👍

ya know, Ralph had his hambone way to generating excitement by getting overly dramatic, but sometimes I miss it. Those 2 in the booth now make the races seem absolutely BORING. Hell, we didn't even see the one pass for the lead in the 450s. The past 2 weekends have been just awful.

You won’t be here long with this username  

Wanna drop any hints of what your next username will be? 

Well, I’m not here to throw anyone under the bus…I’m pretty sure we covered that for perpetuity over in the Daniel Blair thread…😂

But, I will say this…

I really do prefer the Race Day Live show and crew…hell, even the “style” of coverage. Now, I don’t want to go too far with this…because, as we’ve seen before…I don’t want to “jinx it”! 😉

Mentally confident.

Since we are complaining. Has anyone come across that GOD awful supercross ad?? Its mostly on YouTube but It’s the most cringe annoying advertisement I have ever seen. 

This would be an ok take if Malin hadn’t proven on the MXGP broadcast that it can be done for the same sport we butcher over here

Have you guys tried bitching and moaning about it on a message board forum?

I've been saying this for years. It is a bad product. Period. 

You'll have weege and JT on the pulp show blowing each other on how "hard" the other persons job is and how hard Bondos job is etc. Well how the fuck does every other sport do it better including MXGP? Supercross specifically is god awful. Outdoors is slightly better...but thats bc the motos are 35 mins long so its more drawn out and less dramatic. 

Cameras on the wrong people, pan away from a pass about to happen, pan away from a battle to show a guy in 11th to comment on a pre determined talking point they crafted on wednesday, pan away from battle to show leader who is 30 seconds ahead crossing finish line, dont show battle for final transfer spot that EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE STADIUM IS WATCHING but we get fucked at home and dont get to see, it goes on and on and on. 

NBC just doesn't take sx seriously, that's all it comes down to. If they did, it wouldn't be behind a paywall and would listen to criticism because viewing numbers matter to productions that matter to the broadcaster. Until it goes to another network, we're stuck with this garbage 

The motivation to start this thread is pathetic. Comes from negativity and arm chair quaterback syndrom.

Yes, that was a new low point for Tintin. 

Keep packing that pipe Vanders...
