Milsaps should be disqualified because he got a whole new engine and whole new chassis before the main.And Josh Hill was the only one having fun racing last night.Per Erin Bates.Dry Laughing

You can replace the frame for legitimate reasons with AMA approval

I was actually just referring to Erin's blah,blah,blah reporting.Basically she said he got a new bike before the main.And she asked the Bobcat guy 3 questions that were all the same.Just worded differently.She's OK to look at.I just thought her delivery and substance would be better after all this time in front of the camera.She still sounds nervous.But all in all,my consensus of the CBS show was that it was pretty damned good.

My brother and I had the exact same thoughts about Erin during the broadcast. She hasn't improved in her interview skills since day one of replacing Jamie Little.

Maybe I'm just hard to please, but I sure would just rather see Heat 2 as opposed to an interview of the Executive Vice President of Caterpillar.

Doesn't it just chap your ass that only one heat is shown. The fill stuff is lame. It usually isn't even aimed at the non enthusiast that needs to learn about our sport.

I do feel fulfilled today knowing the relationship that Caterpillar Heavy Industries now has with the AMA. I look forward to talking about that around the water cooler tomorrow at the office.

Oh yeah, Windham looked good too.

Windham needs to apply the psychological warfare bigtime now, reedys against the ropes, but fighting back. Vegas is going to be great this year, first time in a while for SX class. Go K-Dub

Yes it does. Most of the extra stuff they come up with is useless filler, I would much rather see both heats. Can we get a poll for this somewhere for this?

Erin is there for a reason. If they wanted acutal reporting they would have a guy with knowledge of the sport doing it.

The lites races show both heats and most of the LCQ. Not sure why they can't do the same with 450's. What about Clark's crash, why even show it if they aren't going to A) Highlight the frame or Cool Slow-Mo or C) ah hell, were asking too much. Bring back ESPN 2 hour shows.

People complain all the time about purse money, growth of sport, alt. etc. but then they give a sponsor the opportunity to get some air time and you complain as well. Do you think that maybe the 1-2 min piece on Cat just helped secure their sponsorship dollars for next season? "Support those who support the sport" is thrown around all the time for good reason.

You guys sound like the bitter wifes club with all your bitching and glass half empty complaining

mxaaron ......everything you said x2. freaking lame. i hope they dont just show one moto for the outdoors and show "highlights" from the other.

all this crap about getting outside sponsors and getting supercross where nascar is...its bull, they dont chop out 100 laps of the daytona 500 do they? NO, they make the broadcast longer to fit in the sponsors crap...we shouldnt have to see "highlights"... thats what the freaking internet and youtube is for. wtf.

you are correct sir, I guess with the majority of the years being onslaughts with RC, and MC and Bubbas domination during the 125 years etc. I got caught up feeling there are not too many seasons going down to the wire in the premeire class. This is just too good with K-Dub in the mix. Did you read his Monday Morning Conv? He is breathing fire, loook the F out reedy, and we got mud on the horizon...

Have you ever heard of a commercial? Seems to work pretty good for the all of the other shows...

Wanna bet a dollar on that Dean? Actually, since your pulling for him to, I dont want to make you bet against him, so lets just watch this series unravel the way we all enjoy it, by racing to the checkers!

I think replacing content with a glorified commercial is cheesy. Do they really think we are that dumb? This is probably one of the most heavily branded sports around, so is this necessary? Should it be relevant to an mx fan?
Imagine cutting out an inning of a baseball game to show a spot on how Oscar Mayer is stepping in with a new marketing agreement with Major League Baseball. People would go nuts.
