Stylin_Fish 0 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I was just looking at the WSOP schedule on ESPN and IF I saw correctly, they are not showing either Doyle's win or Johnny Chan's win. I thought they would show one if not both. Again, I might have saw incorrectly. Link to post Share on other sites

I would rather just see 24/7 coverage of Moneymaker and Varkonyi. Link to post Share on other sites

dbrent2 0 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 The two tournaments were never intended to be aired. ESPN and the WSOP has already decided which tournaments were to be filmed before the WSOP began. Those 2 were not part of the filming... Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey16 1 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 The ESPN schedule was set before the event started. They may have some footage of them winning once ESPN saw them get to the end that they may parcel into some other episodes, but not all of the final tables were taped, which might have been the events they won.

Stylin_Fish 0 Posted September 6, 2005 Author Share Posted September 6, 2005 They have pretty much every major final table on tape I think. They took time off in order to set up the Ladies event on the TV table because Tilly was there. Again like you said though, doesn't mean they will air it. Link to post Share on other sites

THEY HAVE ONE ALBUM! And they play a bit part in a corporate scheme. So go to Hot Topic and get all their Merch. Im sure Sony or whoever owns them appreciates it. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Why are you knocking a perfectly good band like my chemical romance without even knowing that they have two albums for christ's sake? i agree the Hot Topic element of their fan base blows, but jeez...that's like when someone here insults the skill of a professional in a thread for making some weird play without even knowing the context.

CaneBrain 95 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I am 75% sure that they found a way to televise Doyle's win. Last minute subsitution or something. I am not positive however.Dont know about Chan. if ESPN didnt figure out a way to make it work they are complete jacque a$$e$ Link to post Share on other sites
dms26 3 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I'm not surprised, the coverage this year sucks. How can you show a 6-8 hour final table in 60 minutes - commercials? Anyone wanna start a Poker Network with me? Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone wanna start a Poker Network with me? I agree that ESPN's final table coverage leaves some things to be desired. They did not properly represent how impressive Eric Seidel's win was last week at all. But really exactly how would you do it better? Make the shows longer?? That would cut their viewing audience in half at least probably by as much as 75%. The hour format is perfect for everyone but us poker snobs on poker forums.We know the deal, it is best to keep everyone else in the dark. ESPN does the best they can with a difficult situation. Other than stale, lame ex-wife jokes from Norman Chad I am perfectly happy with ESPN's coverage. it is easy to criticize, hard to come up with a better idea. Link to post Share on other sites
