it is hard to tell what is a level or not these days but I can say that when my wife watches the ESPN broadcasts the human interest stuff is the only thing that keeps her tuned in.

That said, most of it is a complete joke. The same 10 people get so much coverage. Some of the people that get that much coverage barely play poker at all. I think Daniel and Mike deserve every minute they are on but Mike needs to dress better, someone should talk to him. Phil Hellmuth deserves what he gets but not quite as much.

It would be nice if the human interest stuff in poker actually revolved around poker players. All of that said I think this year was been better than the past.
