At this point its literally a humiliation ritual keeping rc behind the mic.... or it's a fukkk you to us fans... either way the quality of our televised events are at an all time low... fn wide world of sports in the 80s was miles ahead of this garbage... both audio and video.. 

I watched ABC's Wide World of Sports for the 1982 Carlsbad USGP.  It was shit with announces who didn't know their fucking ass from a hole in the ground.  Today's broadcast are light years better, on giant HD big screens with stereo sound.  You can watch every event at your leisure as many times as you want.  You can pause, rewind, fast forward, and you have outstanding commentary with Jason Weigandt and the rest of the team.  But if it's not absolutely fucking perfect than it's, "the grainy once a year shit from ABC's Wide World of Sports was MILES better."  Clown show.🤡.

"Makes collision" is for me the ultimate RCism. Said it twice during the 250 heats. Race Day Live is so polished now with AC and JB, either one of those guys could do a way better job than Ricky. The GOAT deserves every accolade he's received, except for being placed in a high-level announcing position.

Is your Avitar pic from a Golden State Series race? Is that Magoo? I don’t remember him on that 250 much…but, it looks very “Magoo” to me…🤣

The Vital mob can’t just watch and enjoy it.. The things they get upset about are hilarious. A lot of sick individuals on here that run on anger and hate..

Ricky is doing a lot better this season, he doesn’t bother me at all anymore. I can tell he’s worked on it this offseason and I can respect and appreciate that.

I have no prob with RC. Why is everyone so stressed with him?!

You guys are harsh. I'm a lawyer and you'd think Ricky would bother me but he doesn't. It's the charm of the GOAT. His malaphors and eggcorns make me laugh. I just love the guy and I would say most people who enjoy and watch the sport relate to him and enjoy listening to his insights... otherwise he wouldn't be in the booth.That is a fact. 

Here are a few others that I like listening to: Kevin Windham, James Stewart, Jeff Emig, and David Bailey. 

When Eli finally retires, he'd be really good in the booth providing commentary.

So is RC the Bob Uecker of Supercross ?  🤣

The fact RC keeps the job is mind blowing to me. Did he walk in when some NBC executive had their assistants feet in the air? Maybe he doesn’t care but I feel like what he’s saying in the booth is taking away from what he was able to accomplish in racing. We don’t talk about his rides anymore, we talk about his ability to not talk. So many qualified people that would create a much better product but nope, we get the poster child for why grade school matters!

Exactly!!!!  On point for sure.  The former riders and players of ALOT of sports are just not good on the microphone.  They are good for maybe a guest mc at one race...but not to do the entire season.  RC is a PRIME example.  Couple of mistakes...no big deal...but it has gotten way out of hand. It's cringe worthy now.

I don’t understand why everyone dogs RC, my advice to those people hating on RC; just watch the race

Dude...I guess you don't understand from the MANY, MANY comments on here about RC....We ARE TRYING to watch the race....but Jesus...it is really hard to enjoy it with a 3rd grader with a headset on telling us a bunch of random, incorrect and cringe worthy comments. Hell, and this this just a small sample of people that are on Vital MX.  I'm sure there are plenty more out there that echo the comments on here.  Listen........he is not a bad dude....bad ass mother F'n racer for sure...but he should NOT be announcing SuperCross or Motocross.  It's pretty simple.  It's like when they put Danica Patrick as a Pit announcer at an Formula 1 race a few years back.  She was TERRIBLE!!!

Why would we think it would bother you more as "a lawyer"?

My grandson has started riding and is of course a fan of the sport. He has found this forum along with other internet fodder and told me that he found it weird that so much emphasis was put on broadcasting and what riders say or don't say in interviews. He is 13 years old.

It's way more concerning for me that  no one in production knows how to pronounce Koch. It's NBC/PeaCOCK! for Pete's sake.

If you don't, and aren't sure, ask him. WTF? Or ask Ken, he's German.

They made it worse pronouncing it wrong

Here's 2 from tonight....."Levi needs to bridge that gap"  Levi was in first ahead of Deegan....Idiot.  2nd place bridges the "gap" between 2nd and 1st.

He is "On that zone".....dumbass....It is "IN THAT ZONE"..... Oh.....there's more.  I don't hate the guy...but come on.  Makes it akward to listen to him struggle with language, grammar and even pronouncing Difrancesco correctly.  😒😒😒

 

Pretty sure he was saying bridge the gap in correctly doing a rhythm section each time

His explanation of Tomac trippling onto the table compared to Coopers sequence was horrendous. Iv no idea what he was on about

Made sense to me.

Webb kept taking the inside because of his early turn ins. Tomac was going outside and able to clean the triple.

Webb said the same thing on the podium.

In Houston he told JT that he’d like to elude on his comment when it’s actually allude. Unless of course he was escaping from JT’s comment..??

They don't want to pronounce it because the proper pronunciation will mean they say Cock on primetime TV.  It's not Coke and definitely not Kotch. 

At any rate how could you expect RC to pronounce a German word correctly when he is struggling so much with English...

It's insane that apart from Weege and JT for the main night show we get the B team.

The whole broadcast is NBC’s B team. Producer down it’s all B team. That’s why the broadcast is laughable 

Haha yeah that's true. RC and Will are the C team within the B team I guess

I've hated on RC plenty and still thinks he sucks...

But, Bondo is worse than ever and a bigger distraction to me this year. Watching a non-battle for 7th with 1st and 2nd .9 seconds apart is fucking infuriating. There's no time given to even analyze the differences in lines and technique for the top guys because we need to rapid fire to other shit going on, or play a long winded interview in the corner of the screen while focusing on the rider with nothing really happening.

Weege tee's RC up so well sometimes....like when he asked about why tripling onto the table was so difficult. After stumbling through it, RCs answer was basically "because it's so difficult". 🤦‍♂️

No mention of dragging your pegs through the ruts on the takeoff.
