I just watched the supersport race from Utah, and the race was alright, but the announcing was just plain bad. It was the 4th lap before they could even call the race not knowing the riders, and it seemed like they were doing something else while trying to call it. Foret passed McCoy for 5th, and they thought Foret was being ran down by McCoy. Sheheen couldn't even pronounce the names right. And after he heard how to say it properly, he STILL couldn't get it right.
How is this the best we have? WSBK and MotoGP have great announcers, and it's important to have this when it's aired on TV. This footage should be used in schools to show what atrocious announcing sounds like. I say we get Madden out of retirement, teach him the sport, and let him have a go. How much worse could he be? Truly sad.

I rarely watch racing, but I was watching a race couple weeks ago (and this includes the one I watched the other night), and being some one who doesn't watch that often and doesn't know the racers (nor do I care much to learn them. Sorry) it was very difficult to follow. Not only the announcers in general, but the camera angles switched so often that they barely started talking about something on screen before the angle switched and it no longer made sense. They would say I was looking at a specific rider when I was clearly looking at someone else. I was very confusing. Thankfully, I do not follow the sport nor watch very often to really be all that upset about it. However, listening to them speculate as to why so and so might have fallen of his bike or why what's his face's bike is just stopped off to the side was entertaining.

Thats because DMG totally fucked up AMA racing. Any body else notice how loud the announcers are and how you can barely hear the bikes? Makes the race look so boring. Especially since it was on after motocross. Talk about a change of pace

If Madden were announcing I wouldn't even watch. I can't stand him. Well I can't stand Ralph Sheheen and Scott Russel either.

One thing that Madden provides is humor. And he doesn't miss calls. He's senile, but he'd be better than what they have now. "Uh, Uh." What announcer says Uh? Drives me crazy.

I would say the best announcers are the ones that do the overseas WSBK races , and not the ones that speed used during the utah event. If you thought that was bad i was at the utah event and the over the PA announcers were just as bad or even worst.
