What they are essentially saying by continuing to talk about soccer is: "Well, we're kind of bored of talking about this poker game even though it's heads-up for the biggest online prize-pool in history. So since we're bored with poker right now we're going to talk about soccer instead."

Is that so far from the truth?

Tournament poker and especially heads-up poker and even more so online poker without seeing holecards IS boring. Whether it's a $5 SnG or the biggest tourney ever.

I don't mind them chatting about random stuff at all. Dave and Bart did it all the time on LATB as well.

I remember listening to the one in 2005 I think with Greenstein and Raymer commentating and it was truly an awesome poker discussion and they did continue to occasionally chat about the play at the tables too.

Whether it's the truth about how bored they are or not I think they are getting paid to mostly talk about poker.

Obviously it's okay to stray from the topic on occasion during the course of a long broadcast and to get a little silly. But if they're really having a long and drawn-out discussion about soccer then I just don't think that's the correct way to go about such a broadcast.
