Why did David Baily stop doing the TV broadcasts?

There's not much anyone can do. In most sports the announcers are biased toward one team or the other in the way they call games or races. Guess MX/SX is the same way.

That didn't bother me about Emig, but is it my imagination or his he getting stuck a lot in his speech and saying "umm" "uhh" etc. more than usual? I've noticed Jason having to keep things moving a lot lately when Emig has a brainfart.

Compared to what it was like to talk to him as a kid, he is doing kick ass. Jeff used to stutter so bad when he got nervous that I think it is pretty impressive how well he does now.

That's it, bring back the greatest motocross announcing team of all time:

Sam Posey, Jackie Stewart and Bruce Jenner!

Emig sucks. He's good at saying one thing: "ok" Okay?

Bring back Bailey. He knows much more than Emig and can speak so much better.

Dunno. Ask DC, he's the one putting them in front of the mic I assume?

Based on previous discussion I feel DC is favoring Emig before DB? But it's probably just because DB is being occupied elsewhere, or wants more cash than Emig? Seems like a majority prefers DC, so it must be that?

Despite Emig doing a better job, DB is still the GOAT with the mic. Smile

Emig isn't afraid of a few haters. Check out his tweet. It's about to start by the way.

emig47 Ok, all you arm chair broadcasters, nows your chance to set Weege and I straight. We will be doing a live interview w/ @AlliSports 4pm ET

Yeah, I could not understand why DC would replace Bailey with Emig.

Emig's all right but he kind of locks up or loses focus during the broadcast. Also, he needs to work on developing the discussion when Weege tries to riff on something of interest. I thought his level of analysis at Southwick was actually pretty good; Steel City, not so good.

DC has stated on more than one occasion he does not pick the broadcasters , Speed does .

David and Art are my all time favorites, though Emig and Jason do a good job and have grown on me.

Having said that, the never ending "IZZI - IS HE"?" gag has well and truely run it's course. I can bare it one more time if I distract myself from it by poking a fork into my genitals.

So then it was Speed that yanked David Bailey off the broadcast and not DC?

If so that was a dumb move, in my opinion.

Just for shits and giggles, I got on that Twitter interview with Emig and Weigant a few days ago and asked if they ever got on message boards like VitalMX. Here is what they said.

@JasonWeigandt to @disbanded - A: Time is tight so I don't read as much as I used to, but if someone writes how awesome I am, I'll be glad to read it!

Interesting.

A fall out with Speed or DC?

suddenly Bailey disappeared off the broadcasts with no explanation given.
