Default These commentators suck!

I thought the color commentator on the WSOP this year was annoying. But the two guys doing the voice-over for the Sands tourney on Fox Sports make me want to put a bullet in my head. Who are they?

Yeah, that guy who's doing the "play by play" shouting at the top of his lungs is the most annoying in the history of televised poker. He is singlehandedly making it unwatchable.

He's all wide-eyed, speaking slowly... it's as if he's teaching kindergarteners. I never thought I would say it, but... bring in VVP!

I was real disapointed with most of the broadcast. Othher than the feature table we only got to see Ben Afleck [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] It would have been nice to see some actoin on the last 3 tables.

The commentators were terrible, did they know anything about poker?

The only positive thing was they didn't waste time with player profiles and other BS.

Based on the way one of the commentators sounds, I have a feeling his only previous experience is with professional wrestling. Those two must be the only employees of Fox Sports that have ever played poker in their life.

Obviously Howard Lederer does. He did give some good info if you listened for it.

I Tivo'd the whole thing, and just started watching the first hour. Damn, but the play-by-play guy is annoying. This is probably their way of pandering to people who've never played, but I don't need him yelling and trying to interject excitement into every hand.... Compared to the WPT or ESPN's 2003 WSOP coverage, this has to rate as the Worst Damn Poker Show, Period. (Though I'm not expecting much from Celebrity Poker on Bravo, either....)

Default Jesse May

He's doing the play by play in this thing. He's the author of the horrendously overrated poker book Shut Up and Deal.

Wish he'd take his title to heart....
