Re: HSP, 7/17
I Tivo'ed it, and just rewatched the beginning again just now.
Here is an exact transcript of the Sexton comment for those that are nerdy enough to care (like me):
Benza: The game has been going into the late hours of the night and the players have got to be getting tired. Is it fair to say that it is an advantage for the younger players now?
Kaplan: Well, yes, age can be a factor, but you have to understand the older players are aware of this, and most of them are very disciplined. Really we don't have that many older players on our show this season. Last season we did. And you cannot survive in poker unless you have discipline. Some older players who didn't have it have had to go on to other professions like professional poker announcers.
Benza: Anybody come to mind in general?
Kaplan: Mike Sexton is the only one I can think of! (in a bad Sexton impersonation replete with hand gestures)

The "I don't want to mention any names" line is from an older episode, not related to Sexton at all.
