Deegan literally said in a few interviews yesterday that he does it to see in the comments people going at it with each other over it….exactly what we are seeing in this thread…

Deegan would have been the goat on original Xbox Cod lobbies.

I admire Deegan for his talent and work ethic. As do most. 


If he had class, he would have a lot more fans over the age of 12.

Hopefully Hunter can access that speed early in the race. The class is full of guys that can get out front and manage a lead and others that will be difficult to pass on the way to the front. Jett about where I expected. Jorge looks uncanny fast like peak Jett, but whereas Jett seems to leap skip around the track, Prado looks like he's all about forward momentum. Justin Cooper higher than I expected but I should know better by now. Marchbanks looking good, I feel like the Kawi platform might actually suit his riding style and weight. Deegs qualifying session probably made for some good pictures at least lol. 

Nothing else surprising me much. I've learned not to set expectations with Eli. If he's looking like retirement material just wait a month and he'll be gnarly again. If he's on top, just wait a month and he'll have you scratching your head again.

He generates drama to drive clicks to get paid.  I'm surprised some people on here haven't figured that out yet.

For Deegan, as a rookie, obviously a top 5 would be a great showing.

But, when you're walking around press day wearing a shirt with handwritten "RIP Jett" "prone to ankle injuries" "I heart Dylan (Jett's girl)" "How to lose the girl" "something about the dog pound" ... and you're a full 2 seconds off your one-way rival, it's definitely not a good look. Especially when Jett is fresh off the injury you're poking fun at.

He's definitely successful at playing the villain! Just my $0.02

Humility is a tough life skill for some to learn. Confidence is good, arrogance is annoying.

Didn't Jett go 1-1 his rookie 450 outdoor? Anything less for Deegan with all the shit stirring is a laughable loss. He can say it's all for the clicks, but where I was raised "talk the talk, walk the walk". There's no backtracking now talking about it's my rookie year/learning year. You asked for it, time to back it up DNGR boy.

I have steaks out, getting ready to throw them on the grill before the second motos. I have zero expectations for this evening of racing. Completely calm, what I do know is for someone that has talked all the shit that Deegan has talked anything but a win is laughable....That aside a top 5 for him is VERY respectable had he kept his mouth shut and just rode his dirtbike. Unfortunately for him he didn't, so it is what it is. Win or expect the shit storm....

I'd say it's next to impossible for Deegan to keep his mouth shut & just ride his dirt bike.

Well I mean he did the same think in 250s and out the gate he didnt back it up but instead of making excuses he got better. Gotta respect the game. 

In anycase should be a great race.

This is why I enjoy this place! Some make it unbearable at times, but to end on these terms is what it's all about! Hell of a ride by Deegs and Jett. Plenty of racing left for them to settle this dispute! We all win!
