This weeks "Observations from the couch" literally made me Laugh Out Loud several times.

Great job Matthes!

The Barcia running out of gas monotony and Twitter crap were understated in his article. Ha. And that's saying something.

Glad to see that Matthes watches the races the same way we all do from time to time. Maybe GuyB needs to watch the races from his couch just one week just so he can see that there is SOME suffering to watching the broadcast.

There's a lot more suffering if ya can't watch it at all Tongue . Kills the MXGP's broadcast IMO.

"Next up is the 450 semi one. After Ralph correctly pronounces some Mexican MMA guys’ names correctly, Jeff says, “You’re the best Ralph” and I imagine them fist bumping each other."

"Filthy Phil Nicoletti is third in this semi. I would make a joke about him, but I need him to get me tickets for the Yankee game Friday night before the New Jersey SX from his sister. Go Phil!"

"Musquin wins the heat. Again. Ralph interviews Marvin and of course Musquin immediately thanks everyone and anyone for his win, and he thinks the track is great, working down in Florida is great, Frankie his mechanic is great, and Ralph and Jeff are great. Marvin is the nicest man in the world!"

I fell asleep in a recliner & I wasn't tired

Supercross is starting to suck, the running out of gas shit has got to stop

I can't believe anyone would pay money to go to Vegas to watch this

Dungey got a 80 point lead now.

I'm much more looking forward to the east/west shootout.

Just make sure the weekend we bench GuyB is double duty when we have a SX and a GP so he not only suffers through the TV broadcast, but also the forum madness! Laughing

That was awesome. I know he can be polarizing, but we are damn lucky to have matthes putting out the amount of free content he does, especially for such a small sport. Nice job, steve ,

You mean Matthes watches and think the same way we vitards think?!!! He will now be loved forever on this site!!

On a serious note, I don't miss an article Matthes writes. IMO he is the best in the sport.

That commercial with Barcia playing repeatedly is actually starting me not be a Barcia fan.

Great article by Matthes.

Fox Sports must have given Toyota a package deal on their advertising spots. Four spots for the price of one
