You add salt to a wound, and insult to injury, but not salt to injury or insult to a wound.

It's not rocket appliances.

RC sucks, Diffey sucks, Will Screech sucks. The only intelligent person on the broadcast is JT$.

wtf? I could give two shits what she looks like. This isn’t about looks or the fact she’s a female. She adds zero to the race broadcast and is long winded. Period

Yeah, he has a whole new set of racing cliches this yr. JT$ has lifted his game for sure.

His coment about having his mail fowarded to the last chance qualifier was pretty funny. I like JT's takes. 

When RC said "JT, you've spent a lot of time in these LCQs, what do you think?" I was shocked, I thought "Damn, Ricky, you have no shame."  But JT didn't miss a lick, says "I had my mail forwarded to the LCQs" and I was dying laughing!! Great comeback! JT$ is the man to ask the tough questions. I hope he punched RC in the nads after the race, just for laughs!

Bring back Langston, and add Kevin Windham or Trey Canard.

I don't get the "bring back X" comments, they literally have four amazing people available already with JB, AC, JT and Weege and they still decided to go with RC and Diffey as their main guys. The people in charge obviously think that's the way to go sadly, which is crazy.

In 40 years of listening to announcers, I have to say they’ve all been great! 
I certainly have never had to turn off the volume, jeez. 

Larry Huffman is pretty hard to beat, even to this day imo. 
 Art and David, Cameron Steele

 Ralph, Jeff Emig, Stew, Chad or Ricky, all fine with me. I enjoy the variety tbh.

 Rutledge Wood, maybe not so much lol 

 To the Ricky thing, he’s just fine

He said "up the inside" for the 47 millionth time in the first 60 seconds of 250 heat 1. Fire his ass.

Watch a NASCAR race. You'll hear that 47 million times in an hour.

What is nascar?

I just found out it was still a thing because of a plane crash.

It's a "Rickism" a combination of two adages  "adding insult to injury" and "rubbing salt in the wound".

We can’t. They keep showing Jett’s dad and replays of all the action they missed during story time.

I don’t mind RC at all. I’ve never understood all the freak out over him. I mean I didn’t forget the guy was a racer first, then wanted to do broadcasting. He’s come a long way from his 1st few times in the booth.

Yeah, he has improved since he started, but he's still terrible. The "salt to injury" stuff makes me laugh, not a huge deal although it's still not the kind of mistake an experienced public speaker should make.

What makes him unqualified for the job is saying nonsense like "you don't want to give Roczen a lead because he's so good at managing from the front."

That's literally the biggest hole in Roczens game, and Ricky knows that, he just doesn't have the presence of mind to remember that while he's calling the race live. 

Ricky is usually great on Pulp and other outlets, but the dude just isn't cut out for live TV.

I wish he would quit predicting what he might think is going to happen next and just comment on what is happening.

Or how he said he wouldn’t expect Jason Anderson to run it in hard on someone when he’s literally THE guy to do that type of riding.

And she rambles on and on and on and on and, well, you get it.

It really is a shame we don’t have Weege Blair and JT full time. Name a better crew. It would be awesome. 
 I find myself not bitching too much at the broadcast, I’m not even really listening, I’m too busy talking to my chick about what’s going on. I could do without Diff for sure though. Haven’t liked the fat foreigner ever since his ego got crushed with the whole Blair situation. Why these NBC  “I’m so important” suits don’t just put weege in full time like the outdoors is crazy

that also made me laugh.  And even more when my wife said "Wait, what?  That is exactly what he is willing to do!"

AC&JB Need the announcing gig. Both very articulate and a wealth of moto knowledge. JT$ trackside and some eye candy for the pit reporter. And stop with the bullshit story lines during the races. It’s not that hard.

Wasn’t Diffey caught up in some issue with a minor? People get cancelled over the smallest things these days, yet he is still in the booth..
