I prefer to have a mind of my own, and think for myself. He's starting to act like an old guy that's starved for attention, and is afraid that someone is going to forget about him.
But I agree. Jeremy has egg on his face in this one.
While I enjoy his "straight shooter " talk......Mathes tends to like to set up the innuendo and glam journalism.
Take a young kid under your wing instead of being "done with him" 5 minutes after meeting him.
Pourcel has fans that don't know who the King is. And they don't care.
And the King is doing the Pulp MX show.........when he used to do Letterman?
Just the opinion of this "glam" journalist...
The Shop
And I am the one that doesn't think for myself?
Do you by chance drive an older model Monte Carlo with a big # 3 plastered on the back window?
With that said, if he wants to talk about other riders with some type of chip on his shoulder then he should be ready the accept the fall out that comes along with it.
He is just being a real person (being himself),chip on his shoulder or not.
This is what the fans want to read,see or hear.
Would of you rather had him lie or said nothing at all?
I think 90% of his fans respect his opinion and what he said regarding CP & Reed and I'm certain that 90% of the industry does also.
With that said,I don't see much of a "fall".
When Jeremy talks ,people listen.
Do you think American Honda has kept him around just as a novelty?
I highly doubt that,the dude knows his shit and hasn't been forgotten
in anyway,shape or form.
Gotcha!
I would say that part of Jeremy’s problem with Pourcel and Reed is the fact that neither was agreeable to the terms that Honda offered them, so they decided to move on, and Jeremy is an employee of Honda and he is towing the company line. So let’s look at this in a logical manner. Pourcel and Reed are not only riders, but they are also business men that are looking out for their best interest. Jeremy did the very same thing at the end of his career, and ended up signing a deal with KTM, which at the time, was seen by everyone with in the industry as a move for nothing more than the money. Now years later, Jeremy (who is towing the company line) is talking shit about CP and CR because they made a business decision to not sign with the company that sends Jeremy a check every month.
If some feel that this is “Telling it like it is” then I am fine with that, just as some of you should be fine when someone else disagrees with it.

Maybe, but you've got to admit that he sucks at recruiting. When was the last time Honda had a realistic shot at a title? Good thing this isn't the NFL or he would have been shown the door a long time ago.
And before somebody gets their panties in a wad, I'm joking. MC isn't the team manager so I doubt he has power over rider selection.
And we all know it boils down to money,which there isn't a whole lot of right now being handed out in this sport.
But they are still his opinions from the inside of things (there could even be more to it).
It is also possible that MC truly believes that what Honda offered them,they would have been better off taking ,then where they sit now.
(Like you even said,Jeremy did his own thing with KTM and I'm sure he learned a lesson from it.)
CP may or may not have a ride & Reed has a full plate and a non-factory bike, and who knows how it will work out for the both of them in 2011.
And yes it has been 7 seasons since a Honda has won a big bike championship in SX.
2 seasons since a Lites East title and 8 seasons since a Lites West title.
As far as the outdoors go..6 seasons since a Big Bike Outdoor title.
And a Honda won the Lites title outdoor this year, and before that it was about 13 years since Lamson had won that 125 outdoor title on a Honda (1996).
Apparently, to you, "thinking for yourself" equates to saying things that are unproved, have been flat-out contradicted by those who know Jeremy, and by taking pot shots at his character and those who agree with him.
You're nothing but poop in my book.
IMO, Anyone that has a problem with what MC said is reading way too much into it. He met CP, said CP was a jack-ass...... and that is about it. Its no big deal. He is just saying what he thinks when asked. It really has nothing to do with race wins except for that is the only reason we are listening to what he says in the first place.
IMO - he didn't really have an agenda, he just simply said what he thought. He didn't talk shit about CP or 22, he gave his opinion, a respected and educated one, on their status when asked. That is exactly how the podcast comes across. Would he say the same thing about CP if he had signed with Honda? I think he would have a different opinion of CP because he would have gotten to know and understand him better. MC even said as much.
Pit Row
If MC was right about the 09 450, MXA was the only review I could find that even remotely tried to expose the bikes short commings.
Love MC's attitude and philosophy about not burning bridges on your way to the top. Guys like CP and Reed could learn alot. Reeds done? Will anyone be surprised when it turns out to be true?
Unbelievable swipe at Davy Mudpunk. What are JGR thinking? They need a Dungey to build around.
Spot on about JS.
once again, if youd listen to Button's comments itd prove you wrong.
this guy is the biggest tool here and his responses should be ignored.
That really put me in my place. Is there any possible way that I can repair the damage I have done, or are the atrocities that I have commented just too severe.
