Both suck, but at least Weege doesn't have an annoying accent.

I used to think Weege was better but anymore, I think they are all about the same.  NBC has them trained to do what they want them to do so they all yell and Oh, Ah at the appropriate time. 🤷🏼‍♂️  IF, and I mean IF, NBC would let him be himself, get a different color commentator he would be STELLAR.  Until then, they are all the same. When Weege was in the tower, track announcing MX, WAY back in the day, he was phenomenal.

Or more likely YOU have changed. Weege has been one of the most consistent dudes over the past 20 years. Like him or not, he hasn't really transformed into a different person now that he gets to call some SX races.

He absolutely has changed. He’s awful on any pod he goes on now. He will not give an honest opinion on anything. Everything out of his mouth is FELD, DC amazing, fans stupid.

No...  I can't fault the guy for making a living, but...he very much has become the Voice of The Corporate Shill. Blah, Blah, Monster, blah blah Dangerboy, blah, blah Stacyc Generation is here... I have to mute that commercial.

You're free to enjoy him, I do not.  I'd much rather listen to Blair, Fro, James, Langston...

Yes, there's a gig waiting for him in politics. He's got it down.

I have nothing over for Weege, and when i ask people what’s so great about him i never get an good answer.

Some people say ”he lives for the sport and know’s the riders”. Yeah well, So do RC and he is still terrible at his job.

I love the Weege. Not only is he a true talent, but he's a massive cheapskate, and I like that.

JT is my favourite to listen to on Pulp, I like that he usually tells it like it is, but it feels he is also becoming very corporate lately and doesn’t seem to speak his mind as much..

I get it, these guys are achieving their goals and getting roles they have probably dreamed about, it just sux for us as fans..

Weege is too campy and comes off as a dolt a lot of the time IMO. Then again he is working with a guy who can barely formulate a sentence. ‘And the reason that I say that is….’

If you listen to the Denver review pod they spend a good chunk of time criticizing the tracks and aspects of the show production.

This is kinda my thoughts.

Ricky would be WAY better if he was allowed to do his own thing and talk how he wanted and cover the things he wanted.

Weege was awesome and now has been taken down a notch purely because he has to play the game and do as they say.

They're all under the thumb of the broadcast company calling the shots, which is understandable, it's just a shame the broadcast company doesn't know what the fans actually want and won't respect their talent enough to give them free reign.

The reason why weege is so well accepted is because of his knowledge about moto in general. Im sorry but his commentating skills are horrible. Ofc still miles better than rc tho

Love Weege. But whenever I ask siri to play the Weege show on youtube, The Weed Show comes up. over and over and over...

So needless to say I've picked up a new habit because of him.

"NBC has them trained to do what they want them to do so they all yell and Oh, Ah at the appropriate time. 🤷🏼‍♂️ "

Watch virtually any type of racing, F1 to bicycle, and you'll see that it's human nature to react when someone crashes. 

It's not a taught behavior.

I miss Weege and GL outdoors, thought they went together well. I think Weege’s fast paced commentating style fits outdoors much better than SX. JMO.

"RC being better" is like getting a fresh Burger King burger.  It still sucks.

From 0:55 to 1:05 they spent 10 minutes criticizing the track, Weege was on the phone and offered input.

I’m glad I’m not the only one. RC has been struggling bad lately. He butchers almost every other sentence. LD says “ oh he gets off rhythm” for everything. They both drive me nuts and I have to mute them. Is there anyway we can have two audio feeds with the option to mute and listen to just motorcycles.

There was a guy on here who said he ran his TV audio through some type of Yamaha music equipment box that allowed him to do just that. I’m not that electronically inclined, but I wish I would’ve screenshotted the post.
