I really enjoy Chad's work. Some of his jokes suck, but I'll take his funny stuff over Vince and Mike's overworked drama any day of the week.

I agree that Vince Van Patten is overdramatic, but Sexton is a much brighter poker mind than VVP, Norm, and Lon combined. Despite the annoying North Carolina drawl, Sexton has a lot more valuable insight to offer than anyone else in the business, save for Lederer on FSN and maybe Kaplan on High Stakes Poker.

I don't think Norman Chad is funny, but I think he knows more about poker than most people seem to give him credit for. I also like that he calls out jackasses.

Disagreed. Norm is constantly overreacting to unsportsmanlike behavior in poker. Guys like Matusow and Arieh, and sometimes that Hellmuth guy I suppose, they're just talking to get under players' skin, and there's no rule against that. Norm needs to butt out.

Chad's sense of humor got old for me a long time ago. I used to read his columns, which recycled the same jokes he now recycles on the air.

Oh GOD. He is absolutely TERRIBLE as a columnist. I've read a bit of it too, and it's just worthless.
