Re: What a difference Hellmuth Makes
I thought Howard Lederer did a great job when I saw him doing commentary. I liked him and Annie together too.
Howard was a "just the facts" kind of commentator but his understanding of the game makes his commentary fascinating to me. Personally I think Helmuth is great. As a player and commentator. I like his brattiness. He kind of expresses the way we all feel when we get that suck out bad beat, lol.
What I REALLY like about him is that he knows he's a brat and earlier on expressed an understanding that it wasn't cool and he needed to become a bit more mature about it all. I, personally, think that it's good buisness for him and he realizes that what was once just "bad form" is now good tv. I think he uses that image to his advantage now.
