New show coming soon … \”The Champions of Poker Commentary\” — essentially a Best Damn Sports Show knock-off, but using poker pros not affiliated with online sites to shoot the real shit about the poker world for people who may or may not think poker hasn\’t changed since that most recent rerun of WSOP 2003.
You know me, I want to lambast and ridicule any Tom Schneider endeavor — because that\’s how we show our friends we care — but gotta say, this is pretty damn good. Very different:
According to Eric Ulis, the host of this in-development show, the current poker-on-TV offerings are a bit \”stuffy\” … and that\’s where they supposedly come in — to talk about the poker news of the day in a different way. It\’s all part of a derivative of Ulis\’ Continental Poker Championship, and the plan is to film it regularly with this crew of Arizona high stakes pros — Tom Schneider, Hooman Nikzad, and Jesse McGinty — at the Gila River Casino Wild Horse Pass, just outside of Phoenix.
