norman chad is annoying as hell... the worst part of his announcing is when he doesnt explain what's going on in the hands draw wise and psychologically. During the 2003 WSOP a guy was trapping with QQ on a flop of 5 Q 10 rainbow (i think that was the flop). obviously his chances of getting a call on a flop like this are very slim, and he wants to let everyone else catch something to sucker them in. When he checked it, Chad said something like "i dont know why he didnt bet there, that woulda been a great spot to bet". I guarantee you if Scotty Nguyen hadnt caught runners for a flush, Chad wouldnt have said this in the commentary... he would have said something more like "Hes going to sit on his set and hope for action"... that hand alone is a good reason to dislike him... he does say some amusing stuff sometimes, but it doesnt make up for his lack in comprehension of the game.
