My final comments on Phil H and his maturity

Easy,

It sounds like you're letting his lack of character get to you. Don't. He's just a guy that's great at something, and also happens to be a tool. Look at any sport, or anything for that matter, and guys like that are everywhere.

Example: Do you get this hacked off every time Pete Rose opens his yap?

getting to me? well, maybe a little (i root against him now, anyway).

I just don't think he should be excused for behavior that we would HAMMER most people for.

.... and yes, as great a player as Pete Rose was, his recent shenanigans are costing him some support from me. But I take poker much more personally than baseball (i don't play BASEBALL, so PR doesn't "represent me" in any way)

Plus, as far as I know, PR doesn't denigrate the play of OTHER players (and certainly not in a national magazine [img]/forums/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] )... while PH used HIS position to do so.

"I'll try to get better, Dad..."

--*lol* That's all I ask.

FWIW, I didn't mean to single you out personally; it just seems like a lot of people on this board let Phil get under their skin, and it just doesn't make sense to me. The guy is who he is, and his legacy will ultimately reflect that.
