“I have been here for 10 years and the only place I have to go is down.”
As cold, hard, and egotistical as it may sound, it is a true hard fact.“I have been here for 10 years and the only place I have to go is down.”
I'm with you man. I hope Jeremy does come back next year. If he does it will verify what he's said in the past about his heroes retiring to early (and how he didn't want to do that). I want to see him stand behind his words. I don't think he stands a chance against RC but if he keeps trying for at least another year he deserves more credit than those old has been riders that always find a way to complain about the current crop of riders.Originally posted by LongTime:
The guy goes out there every week and tries hard, even though he knows the glory years MAY be behind him. The fact that he has a little self-realization (it is indeed a fact that an aging vet who's been on top for a decade only has one place to go -- eventually) is to his credit, in my book.
"People keep saying a lot of things about me this and that," said McGrath of talk that he is not on top right now. "I have been here for 10 years. I only have one way to go, and that is down. It is bound to happen sometime. RC had a great series. He is dominating right now. When I was 21 no one was beating me for sure. I know I have all the championships, outdoors and Supercross, but I am not going to come out here and just ride around. I do have something to prove each weekend. I am a long lasting champion. Next year I am going to work even harder. I am not going to let him have it. I think he won by big points this year. With the exception of RC everyone else is far behind me in points. I have a good job and I am not complaining."

why does eveyone rush to defend him? He doesnt need defending . . . Geez heaven forbid a person say something negative about McGramps these days. What happened to being able to have an opinion?"

so what's the problem? (besides being a day late to the party).
Second, are you saying that only MC bashers should be able to state an opinion -- but not his backers?
And third, if somebody rips on RC -- esecially if it's erroneous -- I look forward to your silence.
