I was just watching ESPN (it is 4 PM my time so there is nothing else on) and I see the World Poker Tour is on.

Seriously?  There’s a world poker tour?

I knew they played Poker on TV but I never gave it much thought.  And now I find out there is a tour?  Of what? Atlantic City?  Vegas?  Monheghan Sun?  And it  has had a champion every year since 2000?

Seriously?

The time for action has come.  Poker is not a sport.  Neither is bowling or golf but let’s put our differences aside here my friends.  Poker is not a sport.

And, as far as I am concerned, there has only ever been one poker champion.  Brett Maverick.  Jimbo that is, not Mel.  No wonder we are going to hell in a hand basket.
