Golf And Poker Do Not Mix

By Steve Czaban on June 30, 2008 8:55 AM | | Comments (0)

Czabe,

First, I wanna just say that the conversation you had with B+B about Tiger Woods' knee surgery made me wipe a few tears away, funny stuff!

On to my point,

I can't agree more with the drought in the sports world that you and the boys talk about. I sit here on Sunday afternoon watching some golf. Now this isn't just any kind of golf. This is The World Series of Golf...what? Apparently this is golf, but infused with poker.

Why must the Gods mock us so?!

I started watching this thinking it was some sort of Pro-Am or something. The more I watched, the dumber I realized it was...directly proportional. I know going golfing with the guys, gambling is involved. You are playing golf however, and keeping score doesn't involve a "chip lead". You don't "check" on your shot to your opponent. Is a "raise" when you choose one club up? Is the putter throw considered a "fold"? It was painful to watch. What's next? A sport that's a Tennis-Blackjack hybrid? When will poker realize that it's 15 minutes of fame is over, and stop ruining legit sports!? I am in the middle of the desert my friend, searching for water...that water is Lord Football.

Good day to you sir,

Ryan Markwald from Madison, WI

What Would Irv Have Said?
Hi Steve: When Bob brought up the other day the things may have been different with Brett had Irv been around, I really got to thinking. Since Holmgren, and likely Wolf departed, and his dad died, Favre has had no one to really fear. Next up, Ray Rhodes and Mike Sherman, who let him run wild. Since he didn't have accountability, he could become more of a diva with no one to bring him down to earth. By the time Thompson and McCarthy came along and weren't willing to let Brett walk all over the team, he had been unaccountable for long enough that he couldn't handle it and resented it. Hurt feelings resulted from him having to answer to someone for a change, and from fewer special "Brett rules". I am very curious how he handles Mangini, whom I have been told by a Jets fan is hated by the players. And, wait till Mike Lupica shreds him by mid-October. Read the NY press, they are building him up and up, and they will love tearing him down. See ya, donkey, Terry Rindt Read more ...
