Re: Seriously guys... why do they keep giving these idiots TV time?

I watched the WSOP TOC last night. I had never seen it before. It was excrutiatingly painful to watch though. Why do they insist on giving Phil H. and Mike M. all the TV time? These guys are pieces of trash and IMO hurt the game more than they help it.
Poker abilities aside, they are are rude, obnoxious, pricks. But they are popular, so the tools at ESPN give them all the air time. Which means Joe college student can walk into a casino and be a prick like his hero Phil "The Mouth" Hellmusow.
If you're gonna needle your opponents or trash talk, do it like Farha and at least be classy about it. There are a lot of class acts that I would rather get the air time... Negreanu, Raymer, Juanda, Greenstein, etc.

Yeah maybe they should have focused more on DN, Raymer, Juanda and Greenstein at the final table of the TOC...woops, they weren't there...maybe THAT had something to do with it.
