Norm Chad Keep It Up

Willy · #1 07-24-2006, 01:32 PM

I watched several of the 2005 WSOP reruns on ESPN this weekend and decided I have underrated Norm Chad. When some Donkey behaves like an idiot he points it out. I suspect several of his detractors are people who asked friends over to watch them on TV only to have Chad point out they acted like an idiot.
Way to go Norm! Keep it up.

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.

How do you get to watch the "british" guys on EPT. Is that broadcast here in the US?

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.

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. I like that he expresses his opinions, but even those are hardly unconventional (Ferguson and Lederer have class, Hellmuth's a jerk, the young loudmouths should learn better manners, etc.)

That said, I don't like to complain about announcers because no matter how bad you think somebody is, they always manage to come up with someone even worse. That goes for almost every sport.

The commentator is Irish, Duthie is British I assume.

I understand Norman Chad is divorced. Has anyone else heard that subject come up?

Woah, I wonder why this newsflash hasn't come up on drudge.

Chad on the WSOP does one good thing, it keeps him off PTI. God was he AWFUL in his fill in roles on PTI.
