Mike Tyson on the cover. Here's the link. Wouldn't it be nice if CNNSI covered the WSOP instead of the 'coverage' the Travel Channel has done the last two years? And wouldn't a Harman-Ivey final be nice, too.....

"Amarillo Slim once beat Bobby Riggs in Ping-Pong using a skillet. He whipped Evel Knievel in golf using a hammer. He beat Minnesota Fats in pool using a broom."


C'mon, a pretty good article other than the above quote. Have I ever told you about the time I hit a Home Run off of Randy Johnson using a bat made of Legos.

If Amarillo Slim wins the WSOP main event this year, I'll slit my throat with a steak knife from the gourmet restaurant of my favorite Las Vegas casino, Klondike.

Man, I'm loving watching the Old White Guys' club get its butt kicked down the Strip to Mandalay Bay and back up I-15.


You get the $10K final event down to Jennifer Harmon and Phil Ivey and put that on ESPN. The "Mia Hamm/Tiger Woods" effect would be huge. Poker would never be the same. Wow.
