Well way more to the story, Zimm did not get let go just off last weekend.  When you are an employee of a company you need to meet certain expectations .

I’m confused. Zimm left or..? 🤔

But give me a few examples of where I am wrong and I'll counter. Lets have a real debate.

Let me write that down. Thanks.

When you call someone out asking if they even follow the sport because you disagree with their opinion and couldn’t come up with a counterpoint, then yes it’s hilarious when you are actively playing in a fantasy league and almost dead last. You guys act like I brought up dudes knowledge 🤣

My point is that your rank has very little to do with what you do or do not know about the sport.......

No smack was spoken, was just trying to clarify with the dude.

When did I ever mention my rank?

5 people chiming in purely to claim offence to the fantasy comment begs to differ when none were involved in the original comment and reply (use scroll past feature) 

Anyway, enough fun in here. I’ll let all the 50+ year olds continue to knot their panties up. Practice has resumed..

You better go get changed into your uniform, your shift at taco bell starts soon.

Sheesh, what's going on around here? I must be losing my touch.

It was meant as a joke about your comment on the fantasy rankings - you're listed at #203, so according to the Vital street cred code, #202 knows more than you, right?

I obviously need to work on my tone and inflection in print.Grinning

Well way more to the story, Zimm did not get let go just off last weekend.  When you are an employee of a company you need to meet certain expectations .

That is clear to everyone in the working world. But, it doesn’t change that I wish the best for Zimm.

 

If you lost your job for any reason I’d wish the best for you as well.

.....or perhaps some of us are TOO SMART to play fantasy. Laughing

 

Honestly, I never got the draw of fantasy sports.   I was in an NFL league through arm twisting some 20 years ago.   I put almost zero effort into it (other than making sure my players were set) and somehow won the league the first year.   I wasn't invited back the next year. Laughing

Chase Sexton gets a weird amount of criticism for being a pretty unproblematic dude.

From the outside looking in,  recently it seems KTM doesn't really like when riders make their own decisions. Webb's suspension guy, Sextons long time mechanic. I'm sure they were waiting for a slip-up to get their guys wrenching on Chases bikes

If your last name is Dungey u can do what ever you want there and get away with it

This place is unrecognizable sometimes. Most fantasy nerds here probably still in the basement playing dungeons and dragons.

Right guy is consistently one of the fastest riders, won a race, had the red plate, top 5 in the series (on a new bike) and all people do is say how much he sucks. Oh and is a role model that any parent would allow their kid to look up to. Strange crowd…

I don't understand why he catches so much hate. I'm a big fan of him and AC because of how honest and up front they are. No idea what the dude who said he never owns mistakes is talking about.

@studworx provided an opinion, and gave some details on why.  Everyone else is piling on instead of having a logical debate.  If you disagree with him, consider providing a reasoned counterpoint or disprove his points.

Many have. They asked for a link of quotes from Chase making excuses. Saying you are working on set up isn’t an excuse in my opinion, it’s telling what you are doing on the off weeks.

I totally agree, but as we’ve seen Jett is like a Ricky Carmichael, and who knows

Example #6478426893 why riders give cookie cutter answers and keep things to themselves. This is why eli doesn't tell anyone he's got an ankle injury, etc.... 

Chase is an open book and you can't listen to the guy talk and come away with the belief that he doesn't put plenty on himself, unless you were just a hater to begin with.

More than one thing can be true at the same time. Telling us how he felt about a situation or trying to bring some understanding or nuance to a conversation in no way means you are placing all the blame on that thing or don't understand how you contributed. If you don't want these guys to ever give you any insight into what's going on, then just ask them to list their sponsors and quit bitching about how secretive the sport is and the bro media not reporting anything.

Only in riding.  Jett’s use of the English language is far superior to RC’s.
