Why the hate for Ricky Carmichael?!

- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- This one is an absolute banger with one of the greats in the sport of Motocross and Supercross. Jeff Emig was one of the sports most enigmatic figures through the 90's and instead of retiring into the sunset post career, he started on a whole new journey in sports broadcasting. After 12 years calling the AMA Supercross he now has a new focus in the form of the World Supercross Championship with long time partner Ralph Sheheen.

Nobody "hates" RC propaganda boy.
It is common for somebody who got really good at one thing, to have no idea how anything else works.
Nobody hates him. He is just a moron off the track, being used for propaganda at NBC, like you. And you were never on the track, or good at anything.
How about asking the question if anybody hates you, and why?
Emig was a great announcer and is sorely missed!
Agreed, he was also a great rider and would have been considered a goat himself if JC wasn't the Beast he was.
Jeff Emig is one of the only Pros I know that actually takes the time and puts the effort to answer back to you.I can't say enough how I appreciate that.Thanks Fro..
Ralph and Emig were great broadcasters. I never knew why they got rid of them and now we have a new group like every week. Imagine Emig, Ralph, Ricky, Blair, and James. Insane talent lineup.
James makes Ricky better somehow. That combo is fire.
This i agree with.
That just shows how chemistry is such an important thing! It's always awesome to see 2 experts, able to be themselves.
Totally agree. I prefer listening to James at the races then on Bubba's World as well. They both bring out a liveliness in each other.
A true friend let's the other know their not making it better when trying to wear all the hats.
Those two back in 07 were peak for this sport ❤
Emig was a great broadcaster! Miss him.......
Emig is one of the best broadcasters he explains things from a racers perspective and Ralph was great with him my favorites for sure .also I have talked to emig at the track and he is a genuine nice guy
That was the worst idea removing Emig and Ralph from Supercross. Just something about it. When you heard Ralph and Emig, you knew you were watching Supercross. Those two are the Godfathers of announcing Supercross
Yeah no, Ralph was terrible maybe even worse than the new guy now. James, ricky, and Jeff would the ultimate combo. Keep the ones who have never touched a bike as far away from the booth as possible.
Ralph should never be near a mic at a dirtbike race , nothing personal . Leigh Diffey is the best at Dakar , it just isn't the same without him . Grant & Weege outdoor nationals l love those guys , Jeff & Daniel need to do SX , somebody make this happen .
Ralph was the worst ever and when bubba was racing all he made it about was his skin color.and the fake screaming during the races was awful
Art eckman was the goat
Ralph never learned anything about supercross during his whole career
Emig is a wealth of knowledge and a such a great ambassador for the sport. Would love to have him in every race!
I think Ricky and Jeff would make such an amazing team for the broadcasting of any race. I actually love these dudes so much. And between then both they have more skill and knowledge than most riders today ever can dream of.
When I was 12, the Ricky hate came from him beating McGrath.
First 2 years mcgrath waxed him,but age caught up with him and rc was great,but mc still the best supercross rider. Rc best motocross rider
@@mikedrury2748 idk about the best motocross rider anymore but he and bubba was for their time for sure
What's the win count? mcgrath is the KING for a reason
I've always been a McGrath fan, don't hate Ricky, I just don't like that they call him the goat when he's not the best in Supercross
@Bubba Phillips which is why the king has his own title
Jeff and Ralph are definitely missed!
Jeff is totally for the sport you can tell he lives and breathes moto from the racing to the ODI grips to gear development and racing back in the day then broadcasting. Truly loves and cares about moto more then most people think. Miss you in the booth Jeff you are a perfect match for it.
Met rickt and Jeff at an rcu ride day, they especially Ricky was one of the most down to earth people I have ever met, no ego what so ever, met bigger egos at school boy meeting,,,, top bloke 👍
Always liked Jeff. Was one of my favorite riders and had so many fans because there was a period people were tired of seeing McGrath win (even though his wins were well deserved) and Jeff was the only one who seemed to be able to steal the win from him. Like Jeff was the only answer to McGrath's dominance. The fact he went through and answered all those messages of support on social media tells exactly how Jeff Emig is truly a good guy.
Really interesting how Emig protects RC. Emig shared about the article and how he needed to stop caring about what the athletes think to become better. RC has not done this and he still does not share what he really thinks…which is the real reason he gets all the hate!
would like to have James Stew full time announcing. One of the best
ricky leaves a lot to be desired as an announcer, but hes obviously a good dude and the goat
“These guys are the best in the business. It’s hard to come through the pack when you’re racing the best guys in the business. Did I tell you, these guys are the best in the business? It’s like watching poetry in motion.”
This over and over again plus him stuttering and tripping over his words constantly. It drives me insane. Feld has to know this isn’t good. Right?!?!
I love hearing every thought from Ricky and James, those guys are so smart and so talented and understand dirt bikes and bike set up so well that just listening to them talk is all learning for me every broadcast , who better to learn from, besides Eli lol
My issue with Ricky is he has a hard time talking, he is constantly making mistakes. I like James and Jeff. Ricky is the goat at riding but not announcing
Same. It also drives me crazy how much he will say things like “Oh he’s going to do it, oh he didn’t do it.”
Do WHAT Ricky?! 😂
A LOT more folk love RC over hating him...incredible rider and person...THE GOAT.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Emig is such a vibe man what a absolute legend!!
We love ya Fro. Your great on the bike and fun to watch and great in the booth.
Fro-Daddy...man, how crazy this episode is.....seriously, you are one of the greats.... I even encountered you once in Vegas (parking structure) you were totally cool and involved with our interaction, I didn't ask for an autograph or pic but we had a moment, I told you I was a fan and have always looked up to your style and success in racing. Anyway, I also stood in line at one of the hotels in Vegas for a breakfast Buffet and bumped into Ricky....another awesome encounter (an one of my heroes). I've also bumped into one other famous rider that was a total ass (no need to mention a name and spread hate on someone if they were just having a bad moment).
I'm a fan of super cross and motocross,.... a huge fan... wish everyone was as cool and humble as yourself and Ricky! I hate the trolls!
Respect! You are a class act!!
Emig seems to have a lot of charisma and it was nice to hear his commentary on races.
My kids grew up with us taking them to the track watching McGrath, Emig , RC . And James Stewart and all the changing of the guard cool time to watch racing , I dont know how anyone could hate on Ricky he gave it all every race he was in it was crazy watch someone ride on the edge like he did . Also have to mention Doug Henry, larroco .lusk , albertine windham it was a great time to be a fan .
Jeff did a fantastic job announcing Supercross.
Art ekman is still #1 in my book.
I've meet Ricky and he's a top bloke but I'm not a fan of his commentary style
The problem with the SX broadcast is the director and the structure. For example, when Will has something about her conversation with so-and-so’s mechanic. Or when they cut away from a battle to show the leader cross the finish line.
They have to cut to the winning rider over the line.
I believe it's an agreement with the manufacturers for promotional purposes.
I hate it too 👎
They also need more cameras trackside. Those long shots from up in the stadium have got to go. Their solution was to put those stupid pointers that follow the rider around.
Fro should be still broadcasting, the guy worked so hard to overcome a significant challenge to be there and he is an awesome analyst.
Blair's breakdown, Arlington 2023.
I have a lot of respect for Jeff, I watched all the nationals back in the day and he was just learning to control "you know," He dropped a ton of them and look at him now. Kuddos.
There was a lot of criticism of Jeff and Ralph when they took over from David Bailey and Art Eckman. People were brutal about Jeff when he first went into the booth. To his credit, he took the criticism in the best light and worked to be a fantastic announcer. Ricky is trying to do the same thing.
Pretty much, the new team will catch crap from fans of the last broadcast team.
Grant Langston was one of the best broadcasters for sure. He's even better than my wife although she fishes a lot.
Grant didnt bend over for the jab. Unlike your wife.
I met and took a pic with Jeff in 2006 at the Vegas Supercross final. I should mention he was talking to 2 hot chics 😅 and so I waited and then asked. He was the coolest and was so chill. 👍👍
I think a lot of it is the fact that Ricky hasn’t raced in this era, fuel injected four strokes and he is given the gold card anywhere he goes. The Dude deserves respect. He’s the goat. He’s earned that. ✊
He won a championship on 4 strokes hes not that old
Lmao, do your homework before you post. RC literally was the first to win on a 4 stroke, which is part of his legacy.
I love Ricky in the booth. He has been doing it since I started following the sport again so I guess it’s all I know but I’d miss him if he wasn’t doing it anymore. Knowledgeable, passionate, entertaining and generally seems like a good dude. Sure he stumbles his words occasionally and sometimes says a different word to what he means but that isn’t an issue to me.
Me either brother. Most of his hate comes from Stewart fans
I started racing motocross in the mid seventies, I have watched Roger D Marty Smith, Bob Hannah, Jeff Ward, Ricky was the smoothest rider I have ever watched.
I love this sport because all the commenters in the comment section seem to be on a first name basis with all the riders, former riders and broadcasters. That says something.
R.C THE GOAT.FROM A CHUBBY KID TO FITTEST AND 15 CHAMPIONSHIPS ,2 24 MOTO WINNING SEASONS, U ARE AMAZING R.C.
Could you imagine just letting the guys be guys on a broadcast, Ricky Carmichael, James Stewart, Jeff Emig, Chad Reed, K-Dub. What an Epic broadcast that would be. The Fans would go nuts.
I miss you Fro on the broadcast
Hello.Emig! Great job! We miss Lynn Nickerson!
Gr8 interview!
Ricky is super professional & so is Emig! Both are phenomenal announcers. I miss Emig in the broadcast booth. -NY
Loved Emig on the track and in the booth
Never knew there was hate for Charmichael......
Dang with JE, JS & RC. That would be a great combo.
I see so many people hate on Ricky in the booth but I don't get it I think he does fine and certainly knows what he's talking about. It's usually people like Leigh Diffy who are saying Justin Anderson and dumb things like that
Ricky, Ralph and Emig is the goat squad booth
I always enjoyed watching Emig race .
Jeff ALWAYS, takes the time for the fans. Always has. #1
Ralph was the best announcer in supercross 100%
He is doing a great job announcing flat track. Ricky is the GOAT, but dude has a speech problem.
People are never happy and the better the TV coverage, broadcasting, and access gets, the worse people will trash talk it and say how the previous Era that they used to trash was so much better.
In short, people are awful.
With them both in the booth not one person has to have all the work load when you have 2 greats with an insight into the sport it becomes a team thing
Loved Emig on the broadcast, but time marches on. I remember haters talking about how "horrible" he was because he struggled at times, and I would vehemently defend Emig because he overcame so much.
As far as RC, people are just haters because they are jealous. He is great, and when he and JS are together it's pretty cool.
It would be cool to have Emig and RC together, the different perspectives from the different eras would be great.
I miss you on the broadcast 😢
Emig just happened to be really really good at announcing. Ricky is getting better, he just isnt as good as Emig but still good to have him.
Ricky seems to have a nervous energy when he is in the booth, it fragments his speech, he can't find the right words, stumbles. I have had this issue in public speaking until i could calm down and just be myself. If he could forget that he was on tv and just hanging with some friends, I bet he would be awesome. He does have good insight from experience.
Ricky is the Man. Always has been aways will be. Ricky is real.
Jeff is, a, great comunicator
I think Ricky was hard on Sexton because he knows how good he can be and thus reminds him of himself.. and subconsciously he treats him like he would himself.. always holding himself to a higher level of criticism .. (just a guess) but sure seems that way to me..
Ricky and James are like the Greg gumbell and john Madden of football. James dropping words like "boom" ala Madden and Ricky using silly catch phrases and straight ignoring things happening on track like they didn't happen ala gumbell.
It would be great to get emig back with Ricky and James!!! That would be amazing!!
I’ve often wondered why the RC hate stuff happens. Seems most of them say all RC talks about X or Xx and never about bbb.
I’ve never had an issue with RC or Jeff.
After all, it’s just their opinions. Take em or leave em. Chances are they got to where they are because their instincts were right.
Ricky's perspective is great but early on..... "He's got a lot of wood to chop..." and "He's off to the races....". Yeah, it was a little rough. But now he's doing great. Hope they keep JS in the booth with him. They are fantastic together.
Daniel Blair and fro would make an awesome combo. And also they need to bring back that black dude from a couple years back. He was the life of the party
Forever 4 and 7 equals 47. Love this sport! 🇺🇲⚡😎👍
Been out of the loop but what happened to Daniel Blair ?
Ricky gets hate because he can't articulate himself professionally for long periods of time.
He's a great rider, an amazing rider , but a garbage announcer. Come on mate
Jeffro has a lifetime fan here in Nebraska. Lifetime, since we where kid's.
Didn’t even know there was a big issue with Sexton and Ricky. Where can I find out what happened?
Im a Ricky fan but I miss Jeff calling it. Ricky is ALWAYS on Roczen and Jetts jock. He BS’s his like for Tomac. And yes I am a Roczen and Jett fan too.
Guys don't like change but time and progress fix that in the long run
We used to get a boat load of hate because we're not a 6 buck strap but every month we destroy the haters in sales
The hate for Rickey came from the blank stare moments when he wouldn’t catch a great opportunity to weigh in. And just the face that he wouldn’t just unload his knowledge. Like he was holding back or scared to say something negative or describe what a ride did right or wrong. It took some time but I don’t think he catches near as much as before.
I like RC. He seems sincere and humble. I like Emig too. I'd rather those two over James Stewart. However, I realize James is new so he should be getting better, but being selfish, Jeff and Ricky I prefer.
I have been enjoying listening to Bubba.
If chapter 259 isn't gonna be James Stewart on the podcast I'm gonna be disappointed..
Thats a pretty sick idea but I don't think it will happen ha
Ricky has definitely gotten better. I miss Langston for motocross. It's crazy to think they let him go because he wouldn't get the covid shot.
Bob Hurricane Hannah still my favorite. The things he did. Dallas Ga, 1977, 500/125 National, Burnt Hickory, epic track, Marty Smith the man, Hannah down in first corner, broke clutch, last to first twenty minutes forty five minute motos old school, Smith was done. Second moto, back and forth, Hannah pulled away. Smith done. You should have seen what he did, bouncin' off shit, wide open, yz400....Unadilla MXDN, mud 125 finished third to win, unreal.
how can you two seriously sit there and say "you don't know why people don't like Ricky in the booth"? its got nothing to do with him being a bad person or disliking him... its simply to do with he is not a great announcer. some people have it and some people don't. We love him as a rider!
I think the problem people have with Ricky is… he rambles. And literally never stops talking.
You mean the problem you have with Ricky ?
I never got the hate for Ralph. He kept it exciting. Emig and Ralph were great together. Ricky was always my favorite rider and was great trackside. He falls flat in the booth though. He seems like hes trying too hard and ends up repeating himself over and over and over and over. "If you're cooper webb" "inside outside inside outside". He jsut needs time to be comfortable. And the NBC guy is terrible, clueless about the sport, definitely not a moto guy
current broadcast team w/ james is the best it's been since we lost emig and ralph. that being said, rc gets buggy a.f.!
RC can't put a sentence together & he is way too biased.
But he's RC, the goat so he gets a pass lol
@@CR250rSMITH Yup
PUT EMIG BACK IN THE BOOTH!!! DONT CARE ABOUT ALL THE OTHER JIBBER JABBER.
The more he does it the better he’ll get
He's been doing it for like 8 years....
Emig is a Legend!!
miss ya Emig
I loved it when Ricky called out chase and Webb for their blatant mistakes! As fans the softness of some the announcing was getting pathetic and weak.
No one really hates Ricky 'outside/inside' Charmichael. Pass me the doughnuts.
Ricky is the goat and great to have announce. Emig announcing on the broadcast is honestly lame and boring. The James Stewart pop up is awesome too leave emig off
The “Old school motorcross” page on facebook constantly shts on him as an announcer i dont get it
Fine line between love and hate.
Its your life, not a fn tv show, don't act it, be about it.Our beloved red headed step child has grown into a salesman, its a hard package to swallow for his loyal fans, but guess we all have bills that kill.
I would turn off every hockey game if Pierre Maguire was commentating.
Why defend someone who would throw you in front of a bus.
Emig is awesome. ‘Nuff said.
Oh and Carmichael stuffed my boss into a hay bail mouth first at a pitbike race at a casino in the early 2000s
I'm tired of people referring to Ricky as the goat. he's not!!!!! I think Jeremy McGrath would have something to say about that
The hate for RC comes mostly from people who cant stand that he's considered the goat and not James Stewart. Yes the primary source of the hate is coming from James Stewart fans. I have investigated this a lot and every interaction through research of who I'm interacting with 100% of the time turned out to be Stewart fans. I love RC & Stewart so it's not a problem for me.
