Freddie lets out a great big burp during the Formula Extream race. Did anyone else hear that? Maybe I just find burping funny. :ahhh:
Nope. I usually turn the sound off when watching AMA races.
Those guys are really bad aren't they. Don't blame you. They really destroyed the WSB races. They had no idea who any of the racers were.
The Burp was one of Freddie's finest moments in announcing.
Hit up speed tv's board. Quite a few complaints about Spenser and Shaeen's piss poor announcing. They need Drebber back.
I'd have taken the usual WSBK commentators. Speed doesn't need to feel compelled to give us US announcers when MotoGP or WSBK when it's here...
Greg White in the booth w/ Freddie improved Spencer's performance. Brice Cooper and Griff Allen in the pits did a good jobs as well. Let Speed know.
And yeah, Dreb rocks.
Rich Oliver did a good job as well. All the times I see people write to RRW on various topics outside the mag topics, this time I did. Maybe the right person would read it.
I didn't notice the commentary untill about the third time I watched this video. Pay no attention to Spies cutting Knutson's wheel and just listen to Spencer babble. I think the guy gets drunk in the booth....

It's a shame because it's fast freddie and all, but he has to go.
Send an email to letters at RRW. Maybe if enough gets published in the press something will happen. I mean there are dozens of conversations on Speeds own sight about this. You would think someone would notice. The guys who call our races do a much better job.

Absolutely!!! Write your congressman! Freddie does NOT belong in the booth. While they're at it, SPEED should get a new production staff too!
Hell wouldnt put it past speed to purposely doing this so ratings will drop and they can quit showing motorcycle racing and make it a 24hr nascar channel instead of a 20hr nascar channel. :biggrin:
