I typo'd when I said 15 years, but Leigh said "A lot of riders have gotten their first win in San Diego" and Ricky replied "Yep, I got my first win in San Diego 25 years ago."

You complain about Ricky making mistakes yet your post has a mistake in it?

Pay me to post on Vital what Ricky gets paid on the broadcast and I guarantee you won't see any mistakes

I wonder if it’s the pressure behind the job that gets him because he is completely fine when he goes on pulp or even on his own pod. 

No Hes just not good at thinking on his feet and being concise. It’s takes him 10 words to say something that should be 2…. And the reason that I say that is….

The whole broadcast is a cluster fuck. Three guys in the booth, one clueless, two home schooled, and two reporting from the field. Gee I don't know add a couple more people until it's right?

Meanwhile NFL games, with a 5,000x viewing audience (completely making up that number, but it is probably more than that), has 2 guys in the booth and 1 on the field. 

Why they need to have a pregame broadcast "team" of 2-3 people plus 1-2 pit reporters, then the same number for the main broadcast team of completely different people is just confusing to me why they feel the need to have so many people.

I thought it was one of RC’s best nights. He seems more confidently divorced from what the “experts” (suits) tell him and was being more himself.

Also Will is excellent and we need her. She brings a professionalism we NEED in this sport. Now if we can only get the crowd to catch up.

You know, for all the mad shit talk about RC’s tv work, he seemed to do pretty damn good last night. I’m under the impression he’s been “working on his tv game”.

Oh, and, let the down votes commence…I know I’ve surely stepped over the line on this one! 🤣

I agree with you, he was excellent.

We all know the greatest hits: "I seen," "watch this pass," "catbird seat," "learning lesson," "must situation"…etc., but I think he's revealed his magnum opus.

"I got my first win in San Diego fifteen years ago."

No, Ricky, you actually got your first SX win at Daytona in 2000. Man alive I wonder what's happening in his head sometimes.

In the commentary or post-show, he said he got his first win in San Diego, 25 years ago. James looked a little weirdly at him, and I thought it was odd, but at the time, I didn't doubt that Ricky mightn't have his facts straight. Funny.

On 250, he did. I was there!
