    That is, if he's not busy masturbating in the library. ::)

    Eddie Pells, a fucking National Writer, is at this stupid WSOP.

    And to follow up, Nancy Armour and Jim Litke will be at the Word Series of Dart championships!!!

    The argument being, no doubt, that no one cares about MLB but everyone cares about WSOP. Idiots.

    Poker is a card game.

    Bridge is a card game.

    Bridge does not run in the sports section. It runs in the living section.

    Ergo, poker should not run in the sports section. It should run in the living section.

    QED.

    The difference is in readership. Of course bridge isn't in sports. It appeals to older women, most of whom are not sports fans. Many more sports fans pay attention to poker than pay attention to bridge.

    I agree it isn't a sport, don't get me wrong. Then again, I don't think bowling is a sport anymore than horseshoes is, yet bowling occasionally pops up in the sports section.

    Sports editors who run poker stories are simply trying to cover an event they believe their readers might be interested in. It's not the end of the world.
