Announcing winner of the ME on ESPN stupid?

[Talking Poker]

I disagree.

When you are watching any poker show and there is about 1 minute left in the program and the guys get all in preflop and there is all that fake drama (from the announcers) of wondering who's going to win when the cards get turned up, do you roll your eyes and change the channel, or do you still watch the cards hit the board?

obviously i still watch, im saying i will end up watching it im just saying im sure some people (like me) werent happy with espn of all the networks announcing who won because they do host the show.

also at the beggining of an event youve never seen or heard about you dont know who wins so theres a reason for you to sit through the entire show and after watching for an hour why change on the last hand.

I know who won but I know I will watch every second of the main event.

Keep this in mind, by the time they get around to teh main event I will have forgotten who won. Thats four months away, just me though...

you might forget but the day you see him in the tourney youll know he won

If you want to live a sheltered life and pretend the 4 month old WSOP is happening live when you watch it on tv, so be it. Many other people want to live in the present. ESPN is a sports network that reports current sports news. It's their job.

all im really saying is that i would prefer to not know and be suprised when i see who wins
