They need to replace Lon. He's like an inanimate object. He adds nothing to anything. He's just.. there. Carbon copy of that idiot guy on FSN who plays the background to Michael Konik's horrible poker advice.

You folks need to stop sippin' on the Hate-r-ade. NC is hilarious and is one of many reasons why WSOP broadcasts own WPT.

I agree. As campy as they are I enjoy watching ESPN WSOP coverage more so than the WPT. Although, it would be great if ESPN would post the pot size and bet sizes like the WPT.

Norman can be funny, but he's usually annoying. I'd rather have sound strategic advice then how many failed marriages he's had.

The ESPN ones arent the greatest, but they are 10X better than VVP and Mike Sexton. OMG they are so bad its not even funny.

I think Mike is decent, he offers more insight than Norman ever could. VVP is absolutely horrible. It's embarassing.

I think Norman Chad is funny, and him and lon work well together. But i am too tired of hearing Mike Sexton say "what that means is he will have to catch an ace, queen, or 2 running cards to make a straight".

Odd how some of you hate them so much, yet watch every episode.

Best 2005 WSOP Chatter so far:

Norm: I stayed in school and wound up in a poker broadcast booth.

Lon: I stayed in school and wound up next to you.

Norm: Touche.
