BOB COSTAS RIPS POKER!!!!

Congratulations Bob Costas!! You are nominated for induction into the "Nash Clown Hall of Fame."

I don't see how poker can qualify as a sport any more than bridge, chess, backgammon or scrabble. There was recently a ridiculous attempt by the World Bridge Federation to get bridge classified as a sport by the Olympics. Not surprisingly it was a failed attempt.

I haven't read this whole thread, but Costas ripping something makes me feel even better about playing.
The first person the use the phrase "douche-bag" as an insult, was staring right at Bob Costas.

Poker isn't a sport.
Neither is chess.

I had a wacky friend in school who was on the football team and liked to argue at great length about how baseball wasn't a sport because most of the players were doing nothing most of the time. He was a moran. Nobody liked him. In the end, what difference does it make whether poker is a 'sport'?
Don't be that guy.

Should've pointed out to him that the average football play takes less than 5 seconds, then about 45 seconds between plays.

Athletes play sports.

Does Greg Raymer look like an NFL lineman?

What poker is, is the greatest GAME in the world. So Bob Costas can still kiss my hairy ass.

No. No, he doesn't. Greg looks like he has a very soft physique.

He's even shorter in person. 5'1
