Default Question on whether there are new WSOP shows this week

Hello again

Does anyone know if they are going to show any new WSOP episodes this week on ESPN or ESPN2? The World Series web page tells you nothing about whether a show is premiere or not. Looking at my TV scheduled on my cable it looks like a WNBA game is on Tuesday.

ESPN had been scheduled to air two hours of NASCAR programming.

They are difficult to watch. Too much to pack into a 1 hour episode. I'm hoping the main event and horse event will be good though, due to multiple episodes.

something about watching them gives me a headache. It could be the god awful commentary, the retarded brightly lighted set, the constant annoyance of poker donkament d-bags, the glorification of degenerage gambling (stupid prop-bet segments/references), back stories on some of the most boring people on earth, or maybe just the sum of all those parts.

eitherway, its awful and the only thing worth watching will be the 50k horse. I'm sure the me will suck balls too.

There's completely zero poker content, they jump around constantly in a million short little clips stacked together with no connection between them, they keep talking about how prestigious the stupid bracelet is when a bunch of donks are vying for it, the announcers lost their funny a long time ago, between the constant commercials they're always plugging Harrahs or Milwaukee's Best, and the players are all attention whores for the camera with their obvious fake "quirky" acts.

Unfortunately I'm so starved for poker TV that I'm watching it anyway [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
