Nate The Great 0 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I just wanted to say that Lon McEarhen and Norman Chad make Mike Sexton and Vince Van Patton look like a couple of amazingly unentertaining choir boys. Norman Chad is one of the funniest people I have ever heard speak, Van Patton/Sexton are two of the most annoying idiots ever. Link to post Share on other sites
king_tanner 84 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 That's funny because I think Van Patten and Sexton are 10 times better. All Chad does is criticize the players and tell dumb jokes about his wife or wives or whatever. He also repeats himself over and over again which is annoying. "New Mike... same as the old Mike." I heard that about 100 times. Link to post Share on other sites
EvilGN 0 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 you both are wrong, phil gordon and dave the gay guy are 10 times more funny and Knowledgeable .... Link to post Share on other sites
Nate The Great 0 Posted February 16, 2006 Author Share Posted February 16, 2006 anyone who doesn't think that Norman Chad's self-deprecating sense of humor is funny, has no sense of humor themselves. Guaranteed. Link to post Share on other sites
ROGUE06 0 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 anyone who doesn't think that Norman Chad's self-deprecating sense of humor is funny, has no sense of humor themselves. Guaranteed.Agreed. I also like Howard Lederer's commentary and wish he would do it more. Link to post Share on other sites

swiftD777 0 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Isn't this like comparing BK and McD's? There are no good poker commentators. Every broadcast is usually riddled with errors and favortism. Everything is dumbed down into catch phrases and soundbites so the common viewer can follow. This gets annoying for any serious poker player to watch. IMO The Full Tilt live events and this years TOC are the best poker tournaments ever televised. The commentating on them...

ibthepenny 0 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Norman Chad is has no respect for the game or the players and should have been fired a long time ago. Gabe Kaplan is the best by far, he has a good knowledge of the game and mixes in humor that fits with the game. Link to post Share on other sites
Phlatline 0 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I don't know the names, but I really like the commentary on Live@the Bike webcasts. I learn more from that show than all others combined, though I still cast a vote for Vince and Mike as most entertaining.Phlat________ Link to post Share on other sites

Dan The Man 0 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I like McEarhen and Chad, they have good chemistry and Chad has a good sense of humor. Sexton and Van Patton are good too, but they can get repetitive sometimes. Sexton really knows poker well and usually always has something insightful to say. Link to post Share on other sites
