I mentioned being a lawyer because precision in language is part of my job and despite that, RC doesn’t bother me. That point seems to have been missed, which makes your response more of a reading comprehension failure than a disagreement. Imagine thinking “I’m trained to nitpick language and this doesn’t bother me” is a superiority play. Quite the opposite. That says more about you and those who downvoted me than the actual comment. Finally, RC is in the booth for the same reason plenty of former NBA and NFL players are: relatability and credibility... and not eloquence. Broadcasts are...

He is a former champion who adds color and texture, with Jason Weigandt as the professional announcer. Duh. Same with ALL the other former riders who do it. David Bailey, David Pingree, Grant Langston, James Stewart, and many more. None were professional sports announcers. None were ever SUPPOSED to be professional sports announcers, nor does anyone who understands their role expect them to be. Pingree once said in the middle of an outdoor race broadcast, "It's one of those mysteries of life like why the Roman Empire fell, or why asparagus makes your pee smell funny." I laughed for 5...

It makes no sense.

The man announces motorsports and the olympics for NBC, he also has announced Supercross for a couple decades. He is allowed to make a mistake. Honest question - why are Vital members always shitting on people in just about every post on every thread on this site? I can see some criticism here and there, but come on. Getting harder to justify visiting here, I always feel worse after reading so many complaints and trash talk about everything and anything about the sport.
