Said it in another thread, but the way he was speaking about Chase last night was way too positive. Not sure if that Monster pin on the lapel has anything to do with it, but the guy should be up there battling for wins, whether it’s a heat or a main. Saying he “looks comfortable” when he’s 6th in a heat, later saying he’s “looking good” when he’s 10th in the main… Brother, you are Ricky Carmichael. The GOAT. A 36-time SMX champion. Let Weege do the unbiased main commentary, give us the color. Chase looks comfortable when he’s in...

Can he refine his craft? No. He's been in the booth long enough that this is who he is. He's just very unnatural on a mic. Thats the biggest difference between him and James. RC is playing a character of what he thinks a broadcaster should sound. James is just being James Stewart

RC is the GOAT of calling passes that don’t happen

Agree, he has improved but the bar is really low. I want him to succeed and do well. I want a better product for everyone. But some of the things he says are hilarious.

Yeah...it seems like they need to have better meetings on the roles of EVERYONE down on the track for qualifiers and mains. Every single person should be briefed and be capable of doing the job all night long. Man...we are six rounds in and it has been pretty sloppy. I was at Houston and a tough block got knocked into...

Dude...I guess you don't understand from the MANY, MANY comments on here about RC....We ARE TRYING to watch the race....but Jesus...it is really hard to enjoy it with a 3rd grader with a headset on telling us a bunch of random, incorrect and cringe worthy comments. Hell, and this this just a small sample of people that are on Vital...

There’s always 1-2 dudes in these threads saying “I’m better and smarter than you and I like RC therefore he’s fine and everyone just loves complaining”. Pilot dude always does this I like the guy earlier who said he’s a lawyer, guess that means he’s extra smart and stuff

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.

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.

Exactly!!!! On point for sure. The former riders and players of ALOT of sports are just not good on the microphone. They are good for maybe a guest mc at one race...but not to do the entire season. RC is a PRIME example. Couple of mistakes...no big deal...but it has gotten way out of hand. It's cringe worthy now.
