Anyone that thinks RC and Diffey are competent commentators that do a good job at representing our sport are 100% certified cucks.
I bet you listen to Drake if you’re willing to put up with this audio commentating garbage.
Fuck you and fuck him too
It’s common for humans that have achieved immeasurable success in a very isolated and myopic portion of life to assume this transcends into expertise into other areas. My FIL is a perfect example, mother of deity I can’t stand him.
“Hey, I’m an incredibly successful pro athlete so that means I’m an excellent orator.”
“Hey, I ran a $3B tech company, this means I’m an authority on foreign policy.”
“Hey, I’ve got a PhD in molecular biology, this means I’m an expert on the constitution.”
Hubris is deadly and loathsome.

This UFO thing... unfortunately, Leigh is correct on this one.
It's an Italian company, it's pronounced oofoh-plast. I was told this way back in '97 by one of their employees. We are the ones saying it wrong, much like ah-chair-bees.
Why such harsh words towards Leigh Diffey and I?
funny thing is shes one of the better ones tht actually can call a fight , ppl tht been my watching my vids kno i only criticize the commentary for the biased & punch drunk analysis of certain fighters , I ain’t goona go to deep cause this ain’t the forum for it but how everyone on here gets on JT for over praising Jett , its a lot of tht in the ufc for the past 5 , 6 yrs with certain fighters tht i noticed
My daughter came over last night to see my wife and watched a little bit of the race with me.
She is not a fan and doesn’t watch it so she is a completely non bias voice.
When Wil came on for one of her marathon takes, my daughter said, wow, her voice is annoying, and what is she going on about?
Then she said, The commentating sure shows you how uneducated motorcycle people are.
Very pragmatic
That’s happened to me on two different occasions with people who don’t watch the sport.
Maybe it’s my selective hearing or my short attention span, but I must just tune them out because I just don’t recall anything they say- just like my wife and kids.. I guess I am just lucky..
Plus I often follow the race thread on here and so maybe just not listening.
You all should try it..
A thread on how hateful this place is....blocked due to downvotes.
Priceless.
Same😉
It boils down to a couple of things:
Most are not true fans of the sport.
They feel entitled
They think their opinion matters.
Even Matthes and Keefer said the complaints are getting ridiculous. Get over it.
Many a commentator has been better than RC. He keeps the gig because of who he is, nothing more.
The sheep only want their opinions heard.
I'm not sure Ricky is a fan of the sport tbh. I think he's a fan of himself and pretending he knows how to develop motorcycles.
A few weeks back I was on a snowboarding trip with some friends and was watching the race on my laptop on saturday evening. We had a decent amount of people there and I'd be willing to bet none of them have ever watched a race before, so I thought about asking if they wanted me to hook up to the TV so we could all watch but I'll be completely honest, the thing that held me back was the absolutely atrocious commentary. The people running the TV program might think it's a joke and not care but it's a major distraction for anyone who doesn't actually know what's going on. I wouldn't hesitate to throw on a MXGP race because the production is actually respectable and put forth in a professional manor, but what we have here in the US is so embarrassing I won't even show my own friends.
In today's day and age people want authenticity, they're absolutely blasted with bullshit all day long on social media and the internet in general and when you have a broadcast team that's trying painfully hard to be something they aren't it get exhausting to listen to. The Euros don't overthink it, they just put their best product forward and focus on the racing at hand, not try to turn it into a bro-fest infomercial catered to someone with a single digit IQ. I would legitimately pay twice as much for Peacock if we could mute the commentary and just have bike noise at this point, it's that bad and I'm done holding back criticism about it. For me it's really not about who is on the broadcast team, it's more that they will literally talk about ANYTHING but what is happening on the screen and give absolutely zero insight at all, we could have the most interesting mental and technical battle going on between two riders and they make it about as exciting as paint drying and miss half of it showing interviews during the race.
Pit Row
That's because Mattress and Queefer are all part of the bro 'em and blow e'm culture that allows RC to get away with being so woeful. Also, it's people who are true fans of the sport that are tired of this shit with the tv production and commentary. True fans of the sport are sick of it being presented in a way which degrades how fucking awesome it is.
Now, go put your pacifier back in your mouth - that is, Brian Deegan's dick.
The problem is this forum runs on hate. And if you acknowledge it the hate will be directed towards you. Guys like Chris Buehler, Maverick, Herr Lich etc etc are the driving force of hate. Especially Buehler he’ll curse you out in a heart beat over an opinion. Same with Herr Lich. Smdh….
definitely not a fact, so this is your opinion. Welcome aboard fellow Vitard!
Driving force of hate? Calm down girlfriend. I generally respond with an argument with points supporting it. I then give the poster some shit - if they're clearly biased and a shill for someone or something to the point of craziness. E.g: 971_Fan and his fanatical Deegan supporting. BTW, the use of the word 'hate' is entirely inappropriate and is invariably used on here to try and shut down debate. No one 'hates' RC they just think he's a terrible SX analyst.
It's because you're a terrible SX analyst RC. That's why.
I don’t listen to drake but I respect his success and bet he’s doing a lot better than you in life haha
