You are on your couch watching the content.

Weird flex knocking these dudes putting in the time and effort, interested in the sport we all love.

If you’re referring to Jeff Crutcher in this comment, that’s pretty fucked up considering his current situation. If anyone loves to ride and help racing in general, it’s him.

There is a small part of me that longs for the old magazines and the way we would consume the news and info on the sport without distraction and noise that comes with the modern overload.
A larger part of me is firmly in 2026 and try to consume as much content over a weekend as possible. A lot of that is random dudes track side that fill in the blanks and provide a different perspective. While I don’t bitch about the quality of official content, iPhone stuff on YouTube is more often than not much better than the videopass.

It’s a too much of a good thing deal. Back in the 90s or 2000s we hung on to every word or clip we could get. These days you really do have to limit what content you consume so it doesn’t feel overbearing. For me that looks like just watching the races when they come on and maybe catch a few YouTube clips here and there and of course scrolling vital.

Keeping up with it all would be a full time job now.

Yeah there was an anticipation of getting a cycle news or MXA that made that made the read so enjoyable in the 80's. You didn't get much, so what you got was precious. Now I listen to podcasts on bicycle rides or commuting and hear the same overlapping opinions if I listen to more than one. Hard to find an original thought amongst the multiple media choices. But, outstanding content like Matty's still draws my attention.

Sports absolutely flooded with people spewing the same shit over and over again.

What the hate ? The Corlee brothers love the sport and spend their money on trying to cover races because they have a passion for Moto.
Does it make you feel better to put people down that you don't even know or are curious to who they are?
I would bet any amount of money that you would NEVER say this to their face if you met them at the track. Pro tip - don't say shit online that you wouldn't say to someone in person.
Do better. this place suffers through enough assholes...

You good Timmy Tough Knuckles?
Hates a strong word.I explained it all for you.Sports flooded with it.I too have a passion for the sport and don't want to see it become the absolute shit show that it's become.I dont ask them to spend their money on it.
It's a public forum peanut-I gave my opinion.I absolutely wouldn't say it to their face..why would I? To initiate a fight? To see the wind fall out of his sails? For what?
Your anger amuses me.
Thanks for puffing your chest big dog.

Wow that went sideways quick. I think all the guy was saying is that if you wouldn’t say it in person don’t say it online. You can both disagree with something or someone while still giving respect to them and yourself. If everyone could do that things would immediately get better everywhere.
