WSOP is painful to listen to because of the announcers. Makes me long for the days of Gabe Kotter (ok, I don't remember his real last name). My ranking of poker show announcers (as if you all care):
1. Mike Sexton
2. Phil Gordon
3. Dave Foley
4. Vince Van Patten*
5. Other [not even worthy of me learning their names]
*Mr Man thinks he is creepy with all his Deliverence theme song reference. I tend to think he just isn't that bright. I'd probably rank him higher than Foley for his poker knowledge if the anti-Van Patten bias in my household wasn't so strong. I sorta like him. And I'm happy for him that he got this gig before poker took off. Otherwise it could have been Jeff Probst or someone sitting there instead.
