Greg White calling the races???

Other than what they have now...yeah, and I liked his work before I knew him...or Ski, sorry but no need for the popcorn..

I really don't care who they get as long as they do a BETTER Job.

 

Dream team is Drebber, Ski and GW.

I think GW is doing a good job and will get better.

 

Doing 'play-by-play' is a very specific skill, and for a new guy I think Greg is doing a great job. He is knowledgeable about racing, does a great job of engaging the color guy, and he'll get better and better with calling the race as he gains experience. I think that by this time next year he'll be really good, and I hope they keep him on.

 

+1 of the wsbk guys. I love listening to that dude that calls the races.

 

Give ole G-Dub a chance...at least he is bringing some kind of exitement to the commentary like the eurosport guys do:up:

 

I think Greg White is doing a great job! I always liked Drebber and Ski and I have to say Greg is definitely the best since Dreb and Ski. I hope they keep him.

 

Can you teach him the proper Queens English and work with him till he gets the accent right??? Now that would be COOL>>>> You have to teach him the proper "Slang" too....."I'm bloody gobsmacked"

 

At least GW not doing that godawful Two Wheel Tuesday show .

 

GW sounded much better this week. Guess it helped having 4 races having a TOTAL margin of victory of less than 3 tenths of a second. Brice sounded better, but, still needs a lot of work. Not sure of the technical term, but, that transition between the riders answer to his (better this week) questions and sending it back to the booth is painful to listen to.

 

Hey!!! theres a thought........maybe they need ME in the booth....... bunch o pillocks right thar

 

Somehow I think it would end up sounding like the Beatles #9 with a slight modification...

#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2..........

 

It think it's getting better. There were 2 moments that made me chuckle:

1. Whenever GW introduces Freddie at the beginning, he looks at him with the gheyist of ghey looks.

2. The guy on the grid interviewing Bostrom, leaving the super-awkward silence at the end. Finally Bostrom throws his arms up and says, "Well, what else is there to say."

 

When GW introduced Freddie as a "3-time World Champion", Freddie grinned a little Gomer-esque grin, and then proceeded to hog the mic. GW couldn't get a word in. I'm with Racedad. Get Dreb and Ski back to do the commentary. They were the best in the US.

 

none of them other than drebber knows how to avoid awkward pauses and open ended sentences.Gw is def better to listen to with his excitement but still awkward .

"he also likes to rockclimb" in reference to b-boz .Those 30 seconds going on about his leathers and if he likes pina coladas and getting caught in the rain was very weird and hit the brakes on the telecast.

 

do you think there's something in a contract somewhere that states that they have to introduce freddie as '3-time world champ...'?

 

I love how they stand so unnaturally close to each other.....you know they love it

Honestly, it makes want the job. I know I could do a fine job commenating on these races.

c'mon, an english, paraplegic, ex-ama racer, with proven dvd fame??? Gotta be worth something...and get me outta working in an office....:up:

plllllleeeeaseeee Speed???

 

I know, and I agree.

I've never met him, but Dreb is cool & I wish he was my neighbor.

 

I've said it a thousand times before and I'll say it again. Get the Eurosport MotoGP feed, listen to Moody, Ryder and Mamola, then listen to the crew that SPEED has calling AMA roadracing. Those three could show up BOMBED after an all night bender and still kick their ass in the booth. I've heard better play by play and color listening to Wayne State University basketball games.

 

Speaking of standing close together... Skip should offer the riders a mic during the cyclespace interviews cuz he gets a lil close too, lol...

 

White was a lot better in the booth than on the grid and better than the last guy at redirecting Freddie.

I agree with some of the other folks her that the guy who took over for GW doing the grid interviews was terrible. It was almost painful to watch.

All that said, the supersport race was a good one!
