Surprised Ralph can still talk after the knob gobble he gave Reed again. Angry

“We have both the 250’s and 450’s racing tonight.”

Its just not even funny anymore after years of obviously terrible commentary. Realistically though how can we as fans/supporters of the sport get these positions changed ie. Jeff and ralph? No matter how bad the commentary is we as moto diehards are still going to watch the broadcast and support the sport and boost the tv numbers. Because we want it to advance to mainstream, but we just want the people calling the action to change and how do we get that while also keeping the numbers up? The problem seems the only way to get change is by seeing a reduction in viewership or ratings and that's the last thing we need as a sport. We need to keep viewing numbers up but somehow enact a commentary change to a more accepting crew of people. And I don't have an answer and hope we can find one soon

I’ve been very big fan of Fro in the booth until 2017 Vegas. He dropped ball on the 450 main and he could be more analytical in all the races.

If I could pick a new analyst, I would pick Nick Wey. I listened to him on PulpMX and I found him very informative, analytical and smart.

I used to stop short of saying this, but Ralph take off the headset and make way for some new blood. He's mailing this thing. He's just marking time until the Enuff Z Nuff show after the race. It's painful.

I’ll sign...
As said above I’m not going to stop watching it if they stay on but a change is definitely required for 2019 to improve the viewing experience..
For all 3 of them to have zero insight into why Tomac slammed Webb tonight is unacceptable..
and Ralph was very confused about who was going to have the Red plate next week if they were tied in points. (More wins and whoever finished ahead in most recent race???- was he just making this shit up?)

Always knew Ralph was bad in the booth but didnt think of it much. However, now that I watched the first mxgp its pretty embarassing watching sx again and listening to Ralph..

Paul Malin is a proffesional.

The way Ralph went on about the points difference between Musquin and anderson at the beginning of the main was so stupid. Every knows Ando wouldn't finish in 17th place. He made it sound like there was 2 points between them.

“Never before have I seen a points swing this HUGGEEE Jeff.” Also at the end of the race when Tomac backed off JB and was 4 seconds back they’re still screaming about how Tomac is closing in. It’s becoming manufactured drama that isn’t there.

Fs1 and Feld know that the announcers there aren't for the experts and die hards.... That goes for any sport. The announcers job is to help the casual fan, ask questions that they may have, tell stories, and create drama during the race so that viewers stay tuned. I'm not staying that the broadcast team is excellent, but they're fine and I don't really anything bad... And my gf doesn't complain, and neither did my 3 friends watching for the first time last night. They don't dive that deep... Yet....They were excited last night and that's all we can ask for, to keep growing

I don’t mind Ralph but Jeff annoys the crap out of me. He gets slow pitch softball questions lobbed to him and whiffs every time. Definitely get Blair in there he has talent and is easy on the ears. Or even those DMXS guys with their charming Texas accents.

Ricky is the shit and I love seeing him on every broadcast even if he sucks at broadcasting. Kinda like how I love to see Reed even when he is getting lapped! #nostalgia
