CBS' motogp announcer is THE WORST!

how can a man singlehanded turn a motogp event into something that you
can sleep through?!

that dude sucks turds. absolutely the worst ever. terrible.

CBS better bring over a couple of those brit announcers for laguna,
cuz that dude just kills the motogp buzz.

Isn't it amazing how boring he makes it sound? I loved it when the
camera shifts to Rossi's downed bike, maybe the defining point in the
whole season - "And there's Rossi... in the gravel... zzzzzz...".

Brit announcers? Watch what you ask for. Me, I'd take Bob Varsha over
anyone else.

 

Wow, I just watched the first 15 minutes of the CBS version. That guy should
never be allowed on TV again.

 

I don't care if they are Brits as long as they are passionate about the
sport and inspired by what they are watching.

 

There's no doubt that we lose a lot of the enthusiasm with him as the
announcer, but to be fair the whole production value is to blame just
as much. Each of the CBS races sounds like the announcers are in a
little room somewhere with bad acoustics and no track visibility. We
can barely even hear the bikes roaring by, and I think you lose a lot
of effect that way.

At first I was even upset that they didn't show the official post-race
interviews, but I have to admit the quick little one-on-ones with
Schwantz are often more enlightening. I suspect that's because Kevin
is a known commodity and an insider who knows most of them personally,
so they're willing to open up and let rip a little.

 

The main Brit is actually an Ozzie and a car-based Ozzie to boot who
plays the eager pupil to the the "colour" man who is an ex bike-racer.

 

schwantz does bring a cool dimension, an inner-circle flavour to the
proceedings.

but medders...

He's an ex privateer superbike racer. Who better?
I've met him on several occasions and he's not nearly the doofus when he
gets to speak without prewritten dialogue.
He's still pretty quick too.
