...since they had DB on the night show a few times?
I always thought he must know how to analyze an SX track in order to rise to the level he did, but communicating that on live TV is a lot harder than it may seem. But he seems to have figured it out, much better the last few weeks.

I noticed! Good work RC!
The above may be fact or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting. I am not sure, you have no chance.

Did you notice how last week Emig was insistent through qualifying that the guys would not be leaving the door open by using the outside line round the eft hander before the rhythm section, DB was disagreeing.
Sure enough the riders were using the outside line over & over.
DB is bossing it!

Sorry, but are we watching the same thing? He seemed even clunkier this time. I was cringing pretty hard when he kept talking for about 20 seconds while they were trying to cut to Jenny interviewing Starling.

Everything about the broadcast sucks including the broads. I hate looking at good looking women and hearing past champions! Wish it was like the good old days where we just read about it a month later.

He called the Alpinestars medic crew the Asterisk medic crew.
No he hasn't stepped anything up. RC and Emig are just mailing it in, zero effort in improving themselves and making the broadcast better. Or maybe they are trying to be better and just aren't good enough, those are the two options.

I just thought it was interesting how DB comes on the night show, every body saying he killed it (and he did), then all of a sudden no more DB, and back to RC at least trying to give more in depth info. Yes he could still improve but DB was the catalyst for some kind of change, whether it was from RC or the producers who knows.

Improvement is noticed on this end, still scrambling for words here and there but speaking flawlessly is no easy process to execute, just ask Ralph.

I didn’t notice..I did notice Ralph throwing it to Jeff and then crickets. I think Jeff is reading our comments and it’s messing with him.

It's like some of you don't even know how RC works. If he gets beat, he works 5x as hard the next week and comes out to kick everyone's ass. Dude has no quit in him and takes losing very personally...

Ricky and Jeff just are not good speakers and are not suited for that profession. It doesn't make sense to me that winning championships is more important to get you a job in the booth than being good at the job.

I agree, RC has stepped it up with his segments. Fro however is awful this year. Early in the broadcast, before the first 250 main Ralph throws it to him and Jeff literally says nothing for about 5 seconds (or more). I don't know if he was mid hit on the bong or having a stroke but JFC man, you need to get it together.

Daniel Blair, I would personally like to see Steve Matthes or David Izer or Weege trackside but hey it’s all good.
