Current opinion of Mike Matusow?

[ononimo]

After seeing a number of his interviews during Cardplayer's 2005 WSOP coverage, I've found that I no longer think he's the complete ass he appeared to be during ESPN's 2004 WSOP coverage. During his Cardplayer interviews, he comes off as a more of a "harmless class clown" type than an a willfully obnoxious jerk. While his actions during last year's WSOP are still regrettable, I actually believe he didn't mean to be taken seriously. Anyone else re-evaluating their opinion?
