Title: ESPN makes me sick Post by: Newmanseye on November 22, 2006, 12:56:42 AM I'm watching the wsop on Tv and the ESPN commentery is sickening, its not an even handed appraisal of the final table.
The guy makes me sick and the way the commentators are so biased towards Dutch Boyd is cringeworthy. Title: Re: ESPN makes me sick Post by: b_000_m on November 22, 2006, 12:58:17 AM where u watching from?
Title: Re: ESPN makes me sick Post by: Sheriff Fatman on November 22, 2006, 01:02:55 AM I didn't see it that way at all - Chad was particularly cutting ("he seems to be trying for one suckout to win").
I'm quite relieved by the coverage of this event - if anything it showed Dutch making some shockingly bad plays (constantly getting his money in behind, usually dominated) while Hachem just looked like a class act the whole way through. Shame about the result.

I honestly think that ESPN could have been more honest rather than sugar coat the plays. I have seen previous shows where Lon and chad completely berate the plays made by people, I just think they were wearing the kid gloves with dutch. Title: Re: ESPN makes me sick Post by: Sheriff Fatman on November 22, 2006, 01:10:36 AM I forgot to add, I loved the little cameo showing Phil Hellmuth's final table with the crowd singing "Phil's on Tilt!" So funny!

I didnt watch this years wsop coverage except horse FT because of it. I like Norman Chad & find him very funny. Hes not a commentator BTW, hes the colour summariser, Lon McEaran (sp) is the commentator, there is a huge difference ;) Title: Re: ESPN makes me sick Post by: Gryff on November 25, 2006, 12:54:27 PM Norman chad is the single most annoying commentator.

And last night (Challenge) at the Omaha final table, how many times did he mention that the Australian player was trying to "muck his way to a bracelet?"
