It was the most 'normal' (is that the right word?) I've seen him.

What is he when he’s not  ‘normal’ ?

Because he got straight dropped by the one guy he wants to beat the most

Press day is before race day...unless Deegan has a crystal ball.

4/5 in this field as a 450 rookie is a solid debut and a great result to build off. Came from way back around the first corner. Put the Haterade down bro.

Hunter went 2/3 for 2nd overall in his first 450 race against the same guys who were there yesterday, and with none of the hype or theatrics...

Did he start in 20th? Better yet, if Hunter started in 20th yesterday, where do you think he would have finished?

Don't know, because he didn't go into his rookie season saying he was going to be the biggest threat to Jett, so save your excuses.

You don’t get to wear that shirt, antagonize Jett for months and then “eat humble pie”.  Dude is a clown.

Yeah he can. And Jett can (and should) wear one that says “RIP Deegs” next week. Free Country, brother 

Jett, nor anyone in his family, would ever wear anything like that......  They have class.

Don’t you think it’s pretty sad. Hunter went 1-1 for the first time in his 450 mx career. Big deal right? But absolutely nobody cares. All everyone seems to care about is Deegs, even after a measly 5-4. He’s the main topic everywhere in the world of Moto. You can’t help yourself. He’s just that captivating isn’t he. Joke’s on you. Brutal.

Probably 4-3

So you’re admitting Deegs is damn close to Hunter’s current level. Got it.

you mean people commenting on a post on a video with said rider is him living in peoples heads rent free? There has been a few videos today with comments on them. Is Prado doing the same? Or Lewis? Or is it only if someone comments on a video with Deegan in it that you fly on in

Bruh. Lately this site might as well be called vital-deegan-mx. Look around. The kid has got grown men as far as the eye can see losing their shit.

Deegan literally says he does the shit he does for clicks and to get people riled up on the internet. 

People read that and watch it then proceed to get riled up on the internet lol. He gave you his playbook and still got you all fucked up. No wonder politics is so toxic right now. People in general are just so dumb

"i just do it for the clicks".....Deegs Doherty

What Weege says about a shoot vs a work is pretty insightful. The thing is though, if a lot of what he’s doing is a work the work allows for losses that are part of the work but real shoot situations aren’t so forgiving, and the races are real. Wrestlers who lose a real fight in public have ruined their persona and most promoters will fire them for it. So whether the shit talking is real or a work it demands that he win or drop the act. He may be living rent free in some guy’s heads now but he could be evicted quite easily.

You sound like the leave Britney alone guy. There's nothing "captivating" about the kid, all the attention he's getting from detractors is because he came into the season saying he was going to take it to Jett, then failed to back it up. Fifth overall would be a pretty decent debut...if he hadn't run his mouth so much leading up to yesterday (that's the part you bedbugs seem to be missing).

Unfortunately, you are the leave Britney alone guy. You’re just too dumb to realize it. Owell. I tried to help. Carry on.

Sorry Deegan fans but talking so much shit for so long and aiming straight at Jett’s crown but then missing the podium is comical.

Jetts likely to get better thou and the jury's still out on prado for mine as he did  a lot of laps at pala in recent times!

No one's getting worked up over the deegz. Saying he's acting like a knob when he is would be a fairly level headed statement. All the bed bugs trying to gaslight anyone who doesn't love the guy is a little bit extreme though.

When did Deegan say he was going to take it to Jett?

Hmmm I would love to know what the Deegan favs would say if Jett wore a RIP Haiden thing on his shirt, would you still say people are being too sensitive ? No, you would go absolutely apeshit and please go not try and deny it

He's also shooting for podiums and comparing himself to Jett a lot... does he forget Jett went undefeated in his rookie season....?

Couldn’t agree more. Not to mention how soft and emotional everyone including race fans are these days. It’s sad to see. The fans are not the same as they were 20 years ago

If you act like a deity damn cognitively desolate madre fornicator, you’re going to get trashed, regardless of intent.  It’s actually worse to say it’s just for clicks because this implies you know what you’re doing is wrong.  It’s just a loathsome, disgusting vibe.  Go back to the trailer park, learn some grammar and spelling, and stop acting like this is a monster truck rally.

You dummies have been getting duped by this kid since he was 17. Like Talon said, he’s telling you exactly what he’s doing. While it may be dumb, it makes him money, and is working flawlessly on the old folk.

I see you are over looking probably the most crucial fact. Nothing Deegan does bothers me. You can feel and read the anger some of these people have in thier souls over some kid and a T shirt. Also, shut up Talin with an I. 

You missed my point completely, it seems you and Mad Kiwi are on different sides of the coin yet you both were here. Not everything is an argument.
