While you could certainly make a case that RC is the GOAT, I have to admit that his post career adventures in the broadcast booth have greatly diminished my respect for him. A couple of supercross seasons back he was calling for the second place rider to “take out” his competitor so he could win the championship. While I am not naive and know that this has certainly taken place in the past, to hear RC say it was surreal for me (and no doubt many others).. JMHO
