Ralph Sheheen Should Watch Supercross

I'd like to invite Ralph Sheheen of Speed TV to watch supercross. At least, I think he should watch it if he is going to announce it professionally.

I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt and assuming he doesn't actually watch it. Otherwise, his statement from Seattle's race of "Chad Reed is one of the luckiest riders there is" makes him look like an idiot.

However, in case he really did mean to say that, and in case he really does think that Chad is one of the luckiest riders, let's recap:
  • He gets sick on the day of the Minneapolis race and ends up only able to race to 7th place.
  • He completely dominates the Daytona supercross only to have his bike quit on him three turns away from the finish line on the last lap, when he was over one minute ahead of second place.
  • He breaks his shoulder blade and separates his shoulder in Detroit and manages to only place 12th.
Gosh, Ralph. Does that sound lucky to you?
