That’s great bro, glad you’re ok with an absolute trash product. He was a great racer yes, sadly that isn’t his job anymore.

Everyone tries to softball underhand pitch him the easiest things and he does nothing with them. It’s disgusting lol. Can’t wait for mxgp.

But he is a professional Motorsport announcer…the fact that you literally admit he isn’t one, says exactly why people don’t like him in that role. He’s a great racer and a terrible commentator and we have to listen to him fumblefuck his way through every sentence for hours, round after round, year after year…he adds zero insight and struggles to string a single coherent sentence together. He couldn’t be any more fake and just not comfortable in that role. It’s just a round peg and square hole type of thing. He simply doesn’t belong in that position.

I actually said to myself “has Ricky been drinking tonight” watching him blabber. I like him but last night was rough

We pay for all this.... our hard earned dollars... in return, we get an announcer that never went to school and can't speak english... all the while... the people putting their lives on the line make Jack chit of nothing.. while baal worshippers bank all the cash... And you see nothing wrong with this?? Lol.. dang bruh how deep is your head in the sand? Or u daf like a good slave??

I wouldn't go that far, he's good but needs a couple more years to refine. Stew is decent, better outdoors I think. I'd take Weege, AC, and Stew or Emig. Honestly, I'm pretty disgusted with this whole production that getting the right people in the booth is only the start. It feels very superficial and dumbed down. It's like almost all of the show is fluff. You can have the best racing in the world but if you don't have the right people to enhance and communicate that excitement to the audience, it's meh. Split screen, camera prioritization, Will "...

No chance, do you learn anything from him? Maybe you’ve just acclimated to the sub-par analysis. He rarely comments on anything unique or of substance with what’s happening in the actual race. He’s always “going back to” something (perhaps qualifying practice or last season?), and has to agree with JT 100%. I spend more time going “huh” with everything he says. It’s tough to listen to. I’d have to think AC will be in the role at some point.

Not sure if you all knew this but Ken is so explosive in the opening laps.

kinda chuckled when the "astuteness" came out last nite....i said to myself "oh boy this one will be posted in "things ricky says"

Man, it was so bad tonight. Yeah, he was a badass on a dirtbike & had a HoF career, but his race commentary is just embarrassing and cringe worthy at times...

Ricky don't lose that number...

Kitchen mentions he couldn't hear his bike because the crowd was so loud. Weege asks Ricky if there was ever a time he couldn't hear his bike because the crowd was so loud. Ricky, "ONE HUNDRED PERCENT." lmfao.

RC- I know what happened to Craig he went down. While watching the 2nd replay of the start

Here are a few from tonight. For those saying he is getting better.......yeah, no. "They are going to take all sorts alternative lines compared to the last two weeks. 🤷🏻‍♂️" He completely missed Kitchen getting the three on the table and the other rhythm in the heat. JT got it though. He is the analyst and said nothing of value basically all night. He said Yoder was able to not "make collision" with another rider and then said it a second time! Makes collision??? He said he saw a pass coming a mile away after it happened. Those was all...

I included a shot of my latest project.

That's debatable.. but even if it was the case he does not vocalize it well imo. AC (and basically every other ex rider commentator) does a better job using whatever experience they have to communicate any action on the track to the audience in a coherent and interesting way.

"poorly mistimed" Poorly timed?? This guy is supposedly the voice of our sport. So embarrassing.

Use whatever term you like man, I was just answering your question. I don’t hate him, but I certainly don’t find him likeable
