CBS columnist bashes gambling, WSOP

[Terrapin Soup]

I just don't understand what he's suggesting. Should they not hold the WSOP ME? Should it not be televised? "Gambling is bad" is not a new concept, so what's his point?

I think it's more a dig at ESPN's coverage than the event itself. And if CBS were televising it, do you think they'd have reacted so positively when Doyel ambled into his editor's office and said, "Hey boss, gambling is bad for people. I want to break the story in my column."
