I agree with this, but I think they could do a little more homework like exactly what tournaments the person has won in the past, what limit games the person usually plays, etc, to have more to talk about. I always found it more entertaining watching poker when a pro commentates like Joe Sebok or somebody. They at least can talk some basic strat that makes sense, and I dont think that gives away too much to the fish. I feel like after a typical person watches norman chad, they are even more confused about poker afterwards, and less likely to say "Hey, let me give this a shot". I dunno. Feels like they don't treat it as a legit sport.
