Never saw a person several LAPS down finish second before!

I think after they looked at the manual scoring he wasn't down several laps. His transponder was not getting picked up they said.

I wonder if any of the moto media will ask questions to the broadcast team about how they would improve their performance for the next mud race?? 

Well, part of the problem is some of the moto 'media' are also simultaneously members of the broadcast team. Add to that it's hard for the moto 'media' to get questions out of their mouths when they're so busy deep throating everyone involved in the industry.

"THE COWBOY IS COMING!" "THE COWBOY IS LOVING THIS!" "THE COWBOY ON HIS AUSTRIAN STEED!"

Diddy just shouting ridiculous shit trying to make supercross into WWE. I don't watch the races live, I live in Canada and there's no way I'm spending money on the stream pass, I already pay too much for Internet, cable and other streaming services. I stay off socials and watch the replays either a couple of hours after the live finish or the next morning. I'd hate to be paying money for this garbage product, especially after this weekend's farce

In those conditions, there is no race to follow, all the guys look the same, everyone is relying on the timing to give them a clue, and that was shonky all night, 

Once they get into lappers, its game over as far as having a clue who is leading goes, especially when they fall off while you are looking at something else. 

That said, not following the guys over the line is a pet hate of mine, but all the stuff they do is layed out in a script that have to follow, you cant just freestyle it. 

They showed AP while they were trying to peice together what happened and find the footage. Diffey tried to contradict RC a few times, and RC shot him down .

Baloney. We are in the home stretch with two guys in a title fight and crazy shit goes down in the last few laps and you are telling me we can't keep an eye on that and maybe cut to it? Baloney.

They cut to Webb loads. and they followed Sexton too, but unless you zoom in in those conditions, you have no clue who anyone is , and by the time you realise that they are close, its too late... Plessinger passed Cooper and they only just caught that. 

Was is good enough, not really, but mud races are a nightmare, and shit happens.

Hey, here's an idea. Why not just make a sticky about how horrrrrrribulll and gawd awful the commentary, Ricky, Leigh and broadcast is. See, this way, these same 25 communication geniuses can go right to "their" thread to bitch and moan about the previous broadcast. It'll be like their own little club. This would stop the numerous threads each week from popping up and wasting bandwidth. 

Bandwidth, lol. Hey bud, time to join us in the 21st century and get some high speed broadband.

That's all well and good, but panning to Plessinger playing in the mud while the championship contenders were still on the track was a (terrible) conscious decision someone made that had nothing to do with the wet conditions.

I'm not paying again - over $200 bucks a year - when half the time the stream won't play. This is especially the case if you try to open it when the event has already started.

It's because creepy Tintin wanted footage of AP for his own private 'highlights' reel...

The greatest of all time was the most hilarious of all time. Line for line a priceless debacle. Perfectly paired with the cast.

 I love it. What a mess.

But Skinfolds-Matthes tells us we are stupid all the time on his fast happening irrelevant circlejerk of small group of friends show. 
Broadcast is abhorrent viewing if you have one iota of intelligence. 
Will C the queen of the mute button. 
I just look up results that evening now.

 
And they’ll be right there to fuck up the outdoors broadcast this summer. God help our ears and brains.

Fuck off RC and bring Stew in pronto. Low IQ ginger is a turd.

I chose to not watch this weekend race because of the conditions (SX and mud does nothing for me). But i get the picture when reading through the thread.

The one thing i have to add is that the most influential media people are literally in bed with the people in charge and responsible for the production shitshow that has been going on for 10+ years. So don't expect any changes soon.

No excuse for missing the last 2 laps with Webb going forward and Chase going backwards. They are the championship leaders, they should have eyes on them the entire race! It should be someones responsibility to be watching them and know whats going on.

Weege believes it was because mud and timing and scoring, yet they forget mud has been around just like timing and scoring forever. They either think people are dumb, or more than likely he simply can't say anything which is understandable. But things need changed

Weege is constantly stating these passive aggressive items about how dumb SX/MX fans are, Matthes does too. Constantly with the "MX/SX fans can't understand how hard broadcasting live races is." or how the TV package of a few years ago wasn't shitty, it was that the fans couldn't understand how it functioned, and my favorite how the fans are never happy about anything and just like to complain. This from the doormat that stated he gets treated like Blair did but wants the job more.

If mud races are a nightmare why schedule the last eight races in open air stadiums? And four of those at a time of year when even snow can happen, let alone rain is a common occurrence? OK the broadcast was shit because of the weather, they and all of God's children know the weather sucks in the Northeast during the spring, make preparations for the worst of it. Or avoid those areas in the spring.

I was watching other sports before tuning into Foxborough and it’s actually crazy how unprofessional our broadcasters sound compared to basketball, soccer, football, and even disc golf. I’m convinced NBC doesn’t care about SX, lucky for them that won’t stop me from watching the sport I love but fuck you NBC. I hope NBC’s cock gets stuck in a fence.

What about in the 250 LCQ when Forkner and Thrasher were 4th and 5th, and they immediately went to commercial after the winner crossed the line? They still didn't know what happened when they came back.

They didn't even realize they were looking at Luke Neese stuck in the mud, who was running second before they went to commercial, which potentially gave Forkner the spot. And they didn't even show the results!

THIS


 And in the main I swear for the first two laps they just showed plessenger when THE ENTIRE WORLD was only giving a F about where SEXTON and WEBB were. I almost threw my phone. 

And what’s with this honky tonk music they keep showing before cutting to break? This is MOTO not the PBR. 

This circus clown at NBC can criticize Blair, but keep the foreigner and Ricky, who no one likes, while the world says to put WEEGE in there full time.

ISNT IT KEN Roczen?? Why is everyone now calling him KENNY?? So much more gay sounding

BINGO, it is extremely amateurish. It comes across as sub part slapstick stuff.  Weege and James can't fix trying to talk about one thing and the camera completely goes ary to someone else for 2 laps just because.  The production itself is the problem, the people running the production is the problem.  It is simply time for new blood, fresh ideas and a revamp. This whole bro show needs to stop. Matthes was an absolute joke saying "it was a rough night for tv crew" and left it at that. That dude alone, voices his opinion but we can't do that with our two best buddies in the tv crew

Leigh, for the love of god. Learn the rider's names. 

Leigh doesn't care about the riders' names.  That much was evident when he was going on about being texted by "ex Formula One and current NTT IndyCar driver Marcus Ericsson."

I mean this with ZERO hyperbole or exaggeration: Powerslap puts out a better "broadcast" product than SX/MX.  It's kind of pathetic that an upstart slapfighting league can beat out a sport that has been broadcasting in some form since the 70s and has backing from NBC, but here we are.

I've been channel hopping and come across dog skills competition. I was drawn in because the production and commentary are top notch and professional, and I have zero interest in that as a sport

A few years ago, Plessinger was on Pulp MX (I think this is where I heard it) and they asked him which way to pronounce his name, and he said he didn't care.
