Thanks!  

Yeah, not sure what got those two’s nuts so twisted up in that interview. Lewis asked some questions that others might not have, but Prado almost looked relieved to be able to talk about the situation with someone that he has some history with. 

I think that you have to chalk this one up to simply jealousy that someone ‘new’ in MX media might be doing a better job and gaining more attention than the ‘old guard’. 

I agree with most of what you said but I definitely wouldn’t say Prado looked relieved in the slightest, just my interpretation though

Well the liberals at NBC started the recent politics in moto with the COVID BS. Firing Langston for not getting jabbed, which is illegal. Then dumbass Steve had to say, "Why is Deegan raising the USA flag while in America?" Bch, you left Canada because its a sh*thole. You live in the USA and bitch about it? Go back to Canada, stfu and only cover the Canadian nationals then.

It's also not a priority in my life to worry about how GL lost his job, I knew long ago that dude was a loser, seems like that's becoming clear for a lot more people now.

I think the vast majority of the forum disagrees with you, but we all have opinions. Keep it up, Lewis!

Exactly! It’s just my opinion, but something that’s been bothering me with Lewis’ questions in post race interviews. I’ve started turning him off when he does his now-usual long-winded analysis with barely a question somewhere, which is unfortunate because he  is / can be one of the best writers out there. It’s just my opinion, but I can appreciate your take as well.

I was the one that called in that night and started the whole conversation. I said Haiden was intentionally trying to start shit with the Lawrences and that he was making a conscious effort to pit American fans against the Lawrences for his own gain, all under the guise of being an American patriot. I also said he was an idiot for praising Andrew Tate, a convicted sex trafficker, on the podium. The conversation was NOT about how waving an American flag is bad.

Do you not even remember this? Steve was clearly triggered by an American with his country's flag on an American Motocross Series Podium. Meanwhile Lawrences did it after that and Steve wasn't triggered at all... Typical liberal that hates America but refuses to leave.

I used to really like GL, but he really seems to have gone off the deep end recently and has just become another "angry white male in america".

Ironically, I'd say you are the one that is triggered.

Wasn't he leaving at the end of the year anyway to focus on the dealership, and just left a couple races early as a statement?

Being good at riding a dirt bike doesn't make you a good person.

Langston has done plenty of shit to deserve being called a loser.

If I had more time on my hands I'd find some of the old social media shit where he was saying hunters deserve to die etc.

For the one-millionth time GL was not fired, and was not required to take the jab. He could have finished out the last couple of races remotely but instead chose to quit two races early and grandstand about it on social media.

Listening to Ping and GL’s pod to hear the full-scope of their bitching, and this part regarding moto media was particularly funny to me (45 minutes in):

Ping: Well, one, you’re getting things wrong, you’re posting things that are, the next day, debunked by the rider… it’s why I’m really stoked why, when me and my partner put Whiskey Throttle together, we said no breaking news. That shit is so lame to me.

That being said, anyone remember this shitshow? lol

Difference between being good at riding a dirt bike and multi-time champion. 
Anyway I think if your character was that flawed they probably wouldn’t let you be in hall of fame. Be with J-Law in the slammer instead.  
I’m cracking up is all.

Was I a professional rider? No. My closest friends have won a lot of titles though and are a good reference point for my knowledge. They tell me if I'm crazy, taking things too far or on the right track.

Relationships are an important part of this 'game' and I'm proud to have many valuable ones. I guess these people just look at me and think that I spawned out of nowhere...

Gotta get something out of walking around this pits.

Most of the behavior in this entire saga is pretty indefensible. While not a huge fan of Gypsy Tales, I did find his quip about being at the Post Race Press Conference hilarious given all the shots Matthes has taken at him over not being at all the races though.

Go back to Canada, stfu and only cover the Canadian nationals then.

People leave Canada because our industry is too small and career opportunities are virtually non-existant here, not because it's a shithole. Be as it may, Canada has a killer track scene in certain parts of the country, comparable or arguably better than certain parts of the US. Youtube search the Canadian national track from this past weekend, 'Deschambault Motocross', and I gaurantee you will at least appreciate it as a standalone track.

Matthes wanted to chase a dream and Canada wasn't in his endgame. Dude took a leap of faith and things worked out great for him in the US. Finanically successful, married to a loving wife, respected by countless top riders and an iconic figure in the moto industry. Even Jase/Gypsy was on record in one of his pods praising Matthes and elaborated that if he were to ever leave the sport, there would be a massive media hole to fill. Is it asking too much to take a handful of his comments or opinions with a grain of salt?

Notice how no-one talks about missing GL on the broadcast after James started doing it? 

Notice how some people complain for years about journalism in the sport and then Big Lew shows up and just does a better job?

Anyone who loves to call out "alpha" and "beta" males is 1) a certified loser and 2) way too invested in other men (ironic).  GL fits both 1 & 2.
