If you’re listening, it’s been long enough. Find a producer who knows what they’re doing.
Replays of ANYTHING, when two riders are that close, let alone a potential pass for the lead with two laps left, is NEVER EVER OK.
We have the internet. We will see the replays a million times. We never want replays. We want to see the race.

Don’t care about, what anybody said to any reporter during the week or before the race. Unless it’s “ I’m going to smash friese” it never is, instead we get
“I talked to Kens seat upholsterer earlier and he said he really wants to win”
I’m sorry only been watching supercross for seven years but the broadcasting of it is awful. It’s not the announcers either (although not great either) it’s the production. Give these guys some help put some gps trackers on these bikes. Where is he gonna make the pass Ricky? Well (checks data) last lap he was closest here. Where’s he losing time? Check data talk about it.
Instead we are left with making shit up bullshit. Does he like the new crf? Is it consistent? Fuck your storylines you rehearsed in December production meeting. There are 30 guys damn near killing themselves in front of you right now, get excited about it damnit! If they can’t fire them!
The colts have never gone undefeated at home?
Wtf did I just hear? why am I drawn to thinking about the impossibility of any team being undefeated at home in the middle of a great race.
A good broadcast amplifies the moment, supercross doesn’t get that, everything they say and do distracts you from the moment.

I wonder does the guy calling the shots have a racing background. Everyone who races or watches knows a pass-back is likely after a pass, even more so with the lead... and ffs, anyone with any common sense should know we want to watch the battle if it's coming down to the wire.
If it's not, show us another battle... but fuck off showing us anything that isn't the actual race. We don't need replays. We just don't. There is more media than any of us can be fucked with, we can find it later if we want. Just show the fucking race.
I almost lost it when they went back to the Wilson incident ON THE LAST LAP! But hey, look at it as free anger management training.
SHOW THE FUCKING RACE YOU IDIOT.
The director needs firing . for that . On the spot.
NBC FTW!
Why did I watch the leaderboard? Because the split screen images often had mid pack racers. At least that’s what it seemed like.

Lets say this was NFL, a rivalry like Bears vs. Packers. 20 seconds left in the 4th, on the 5 yard line, its 4th and and goal 6 points separating them. Do you:
A. Show the live game?
B. Immediately flash back to a previous game, showing the winning team and misleading the audience into thinking for a moment that the game you are watching has ended? All in some contrived effort to add drama to a situation that already has all the drama it needs.?
If they pick B toss them into a bottomless pit.
almost.
