sammy_lethal Added a reply to Who Should be Announcing Supercross? | POLL
5/10/2023 1:11pm I guarantee FELD/NBC see this poll and don’t care about how us fans feel. NBC think Ricky is a moto god and they think Lee is the man. More or less NBC think they know better than us and we will see Lee and Ricky in the years to come. I bet DB gets screwed out of the booth but...

5/10/2023 1:05pm EXACTLY! DB and James hardly have any under their belt yet they are so much better than Ricky, Lee, or Todd.

Sorry, as great a racer that RC was, he’s only a novice announcer who I find annoying because he states the obvious, and he repeats himself week in and week out. His announcing to me is so bad in fact, I usually end up muting the races.

5/10/2023 10:47am Let’s just remember Ricky, Lee, and Todd have done hundreds of these things. Daniel has done 10 and James maybe 4 and they are already so much better than the “professionals”. If Daniel isn’t in the booth full time next year the only reason would be corporate politics. James and DB would be sooo good together.

2/20/2023 1:55pm Blair is by far the best guy we have but he has a tough job carrying Ricky on his shoulder. DB has what 4 rounds under his belt and already crushing it. I just don’t think nbc realize Ricky sucks and how good DB is so I’m sure we will have many Lee/Ricky shit shows in the future.

2/19/2023 1:51pm DB is the only reason I keep the volume on and miraculously he gets Ricky to do a half way decent job. Seems like Oakland someone told DB stay in his play by play roll because he didn’t spoon feed Ricky like he usually does and if I had to guess Rickys ego doesn’t like blair taking his thunder away...

sammy_lethal Started a new thread Less Daniel Blair < Rutledge wood? WTF
2/18/2021 11:03am A friend who works for the network told me Rutledge Wood would be taking most of Daniel Blair’s Tv time tonight so I was already mad but seeing it actually happening confuses me more than anything. Daniel Blair is the only one who actually articulates what is going on in the race coherently why take time away from him? From...

2/18/2021 8:31am I wish this were true but it’s not looking good for DB moving into the booth. This year they had the perfect chance to at least test him out. With Ralph gone they had to fill all the rounds but didn’t know who would be the best so they chose to use multiple guys while leaving 2-3 rounds “open” toward...
sammy_lethal Added a reply to Less Daniel Blair < Rutledge wood? WTF
2/14/2021 4:37pm Matthes is almost PC enough these days but there is a big difference between a play caller/analysts and a entertainer/podcaster/journalist. I don’t think people realize how difficult calling a sport live would be. Fortunately we have an answer to our problem (Daniel Blair) unfortunately to our problem we have no control over a giant network like NBC. If only vital...
sammy_lethal Added a reply to Less Daniel Blair < Rutledge wood? WTF
2/14/2021 12:19pm You basically nailed it. The network hasn’t realized the overwhelming majority of their viewers are fans who know more about the sport than their broadcast team. You either are a fan of sx and watch it regularly or every once in a while you catch it. Fox actually put much more effort in to have sx be viewed as a...
sammy_lethal Added a reply to Less Daniel Blair < Rutledge wood? WTF
2/14/2021 11:59am Here is the honest truth. NBC had the perfect opportunity to test Blair out in the booth this year. Ralph was out and instead of even giving Blair a chance they hired two guys lee/Todd. They booked them out for the year sidelining Blair completely from the booth position. To add insult to injury with less than a weeks notice...

2/13/2021 6:48pm You nailed it. It’s as if they don’t even want this to be viewed as a sport rather a monster truck show or something. 🤔 I wonder why?
sammy_lethal Added a reply to Less Daniel Blair < Rutledge wood? WTF
2/13/2021 6:46pm I didn’t think Rutledge was bad but I can’t understand why take time away from Blair. Honestly the more they take away from Ricky and that British dude the better. I think fans love to hear the detail in the racing which Blair always brings! I just don’t want to see less of him for a guy who asks questions...
sammy_lethal Added a reply to Ryan Breece Needs Money?
3/1/2020 8:18pm Yeah, I give several privateers money. I don’t give thousands by any means but I love this sport and I do believe the privateers contribute highly to the show. Without them we would be watching 10 riders. I enjoy watching the races within the race. I have the ability to help out on a small level and it makes a...
sammy_lethal Added a reply to Ryan Breece Needs Money?
2/29/2020 12:31am I think people like yourself may be over analyzing the situation. I agree he shouldn’t be waisting money on over sized truck rims but Breece has had a very humble approach to what he is asking us for. He isn’t asking for 100k he is asking for enough money to race each weekend and prep his body, mind, and life...
sammy_lethal Added a reply to Ryan Breece Needs Money?
2/28/2020 12:26am He’s providing a show for you to watch. The roi I received by giving him money is turning my tv on Saturday night and enjoying watching him and the other privateer fill the gate. Would be pretty boring to watch 5-7 factory guys race the heat race.
sammy_lethal Added a reply to Ryan Breece Needs Money?
2/28/2020 12:21am I gave Breece some cash. I have given another privateer money this year and I’m sure I will do so again in the future. I also sponsor the tld team. This kid is a legit rider and deserves to be making more than he does but he doesn’t. I much rather see him on the line than not since he...

11/24/2018 5:08am We are out here at mini o’s. I can’t believe this forum or any other doesn’t provide content and get fans/consumers excited about the next generation of stars in our sport. Weather has been amazing, racing has been good, and service is horrible out here probably adding to the lack of content.

7/8/2018 2:16pm As good as Jet has been in amateurs he got beat straight up this year by Max Voland and ended up wrecking himself hard a couple times trying to match Volands pace. There are a few very good young guys coming up I just don’t see them dominating like legends of the past for a couple reasons. The points change...
