Norman Chad is a Los Angeles -based Sportswriter and Syndicated columnist who is frequently seen on the Sports channel ESPN . Alongside sportscaster Lon McEachern , Chad is perhaps the best-known as a commentator on the World Series Of Poker for ESPN . He also is an occasional guest host on the ESPN show Pardon The Interruption and has appeared as both host and Movie Critic on the ESPN Classic series " Reel Classics ". He writes a weekly sports-based column called ''Couch Slouch''. Each column closes with the feature "Ask the Slouch"; if a reader's question is selected, the reader wins $1.25 in cash. "Pay the man, Shirley," is frequently cited as a response to readers who have fulfilled the comedy quotient for their particular question. His biggest shtick in both his sportswriting profession and Poker commentary is frequently referring to his 'failed marriages'. He also makes numerous (presumably unpaid) references to his preference for Rolling Rock Beer . For 11 years, Chad made NFL predictions against the spread in his syndicated column - Chad now claims that he picked the winners merely by flipping a coin, and most years ended up with a winning record. Since 2003 , Chad has appeared on most of ESPN's poker broadcasts, including the World Series of Poker and the U.S. Poker Championship , among other events. He has become well-known for many references to his ex-wives and his strong dislike of what he terms "showboating in poker", especially by people such as Phil Hellmuth , Josh Arieh , Mike Matusow and many others. Chad is a graduate of the University Of Maryland, College Park . |
