I've usually just laughed off Cooksey's wackier stuff because sometimes he has some pretty interesting scoops. Monday, He posted a video and basically accused Herlings of being a pedo because he dated Hunter's chick 10+ years ago and he found a website that listed her current age as 24. Then Monday he posts a video saying that Herlings is cleared because that website was wrong. I've defended the guy plenty of times but as I posted a comment on his video Efffff him. Who gives him the right to throw out a criminal accusation and then act like he's the judge and jury and clear him a day later. That was a piece of shit move.

Most web sites say she’s 25, so what he is saying is true. But she quite a bit older than that.

He went too far years ago, but there are apparently enough people desperate for an alternate reality that he's still around.

I'm surprised that so many riders are have girlfriends or wives that were previously with another of their competitors. That would be an immediate DQ for me.

The moto media could make Cooksey go away if they did actual journalism rather than repeat press releases.

They would just be reporting on what he’s reporting on, then they would be black balled just like him.

Call me crazy but I think there's a way to be tactful yet still create interesting journalism.

I wouldn't call it reporting. From time to time he serves as a mouthpiece for people that need to launder a message through him (Mirtl, LACR, etc.). The other 90% of the time he's recklessly slinging bullshit to his mouth breathing mob.

I just watched two videos he didn’t use the word pedo one time.

He has some speculation of her age doesn’t confirm it then follows up saying he did some more digging and admits his fault. But he never said anything about Herlings behind a pedo he was just questioning the site and the age posted. 

Both videos 20 plus thousand views. I’m sure the people commenting on this thread will just take McG194s word for it and not watch the videos. 

I wouldn’t have known about Hunter Calle or this golf cart dude from lorrettas if it wasn’t for Cooksey you know the “‘maintstream media would never tarnish mx sports”.

“Hey Hunter, stop suing my friend otherwise I’ll tell all my followers who your wife dated in the past!!!”

And yet people on here still listen to this dope…

Dirty “journalism” period.

The cold hard truth is, he is very close to the truth 90% of the time. 

. Most of what he says is like bringing up PEDs, the fans don’t want to hear about it, so they must not exist.

Are you kidding the fans love to hear about PED's. What they really want though is some proof or just some verifiable evidence other than blind speculation from someone with no credibility. I don't think I've ever heard one person deny the existence of PED's in the sport, that would be naive.

Do you have non anecdotal evidence that Cooksey has provided showing the use of PEDs in our sport?

I don’t watch a whole lot of his videos, only a few that people mention to me. But I don’t need Cooksey to know about the use of PEDs in our sports.

lol. stop it. it's more fun to NOT watch the video and simply burn him down!! I particularly like Uptite, an industry insider, telling you guys he's actually right 90% of the time, yet we get continued bashing.

How are you comfortable saying 90% of what he says is accurate if you don't watch his videos?

All these guys that act like super duper pedo hunters and go around calling everyone else a pedo are usually projecting. 

Also what a bullshit move that was. You dont just throw around accusations like that for clicks and views. Herlings should sue imo. It doesnt make it better because you come back later and say you were wrong. You dont put that out there in the first place. What a POS. I know his credibility was shot, but after this this guy should be banned from youtube and sued.

Yup. Only thing I’ve heard that’s even close to proof was Matthes saying he saw a small bottle of HGH or something like that in a 250 riders fridge years ago. Other than that, we’ve had nothing but have heard about it forever. At this point we all know it’s a thing and just want proof of what’s being used and who is using it, but that will never happen

What about that absolute fucking bullshit of spouting off about Josh Demuth killing himself?  The guy is a hack pussy hypocrite of the highest order and should be taken out to pasture.

The problem is, you’re saying he’s 90% right but don’t personally watch his videos so why are you putting blind faith into everything he puts out? The problem with Cooksey is that he is friends with insiders and will get nuggets and/or one side of the story and then fill in the blanks with whatever he wants the narrative to be. He loses his credibility when he presents his speculation or opinions as the truth because how do you know when he’s presenting facts vs “his truth”?
