pbwl11 0 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 So I'm watching this years WSOP and chuckling at some of Norman Chad's jokes and one liners when I got to thinking....Then I took some Advil and felt better.Seriously though--what would the WSOP be without Chad and McEron's color commentary?What if someone else was doing the play by play?So today's question is this: If you could pick anyone, living or dead, to do the WSOP commentary, who would it be?I'd like to see Ali Nejad and Gabe Kaplan. I think that'd be interesting.Aaaaaannnnndddd go......... Link to post Share on other sites
CaneBrain 97 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I'm fine with Chad and Lon. Their moderate corniness fits the World Series well. Link to post Share on other sites

Balloon guy 158 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 1st Norman Chad and Lon McEron ARE WSOP POKER.....BOOM2nd Gabe Kaplan is by far the smartest commentator on any poker show.Ali Nejad???Please..if it's a $5/$10 limit game I'm sure his insight would be helpful, but High Stakes Poker? And how many times does he step on a good story on PAD?Don't go asking for things you haven't thought through. Next you'll ask for Tiffany Michelle or someone else with big breasteses.

Cappy37 0 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Bobcat Goldthwait and Jenna Haze.and yes, Regis, that's my final answer.p.s. gabe kaplan and anyone else would work fine in a pinch. Link to post Share on other sites
Merby 3 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I'd like to see Ali Nejad and Gabe Kaplan. I think that'd be interesting.You have a good choice in commentators. I also like Norman Chad and Lon McEron for the commentaries, but if I were to replace them with two other commentators, I'd choose Gabe Kaplan and third place would be Ali Nejad. On the other end of the spectrum would be that damn premier league/party poker millions/etc commentator who gets so annoyingly excited about the most inane events. He's by far the worst commentator on tv and is tilts me that he commentates so many poker shows. Link to post Share on other sites

Merby 3 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 It's McEachern.-DaneI don't like thinking for myself: it's very tiring. I just copy what other people did because I assume they did the thinking for me. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know how he gets so many gigs.I would choose the two guys who do (did?) the EPT broadcasts. They had good chemistry and contrasting personalities.

pbwl11 0 Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 Dave Foley & Phil Gordon?I thought they were a good team in Celebrity Poker Showdown. Gordon would have a field day with all the hideous playing of the first days players. And when they busted out they'd go to the Losers Lounge with the hot waitress....

DanielNegreanu 141 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 The thing some people who are die hard poker fans don't always understand, is that the ESPN broadcast is entertaining to a much larger audience who absolutely love Lon and Norm. I personally think they are the perfect team for ESPN and I find watching the WSOP more enjoyable than any other televised poker. It's not even close. The crew is excellent and I actually laugh while watching it... the shows are entertaining. Link to post Share on other sites
