Re: WSOP on ESPN thread (8/21 - Main Event Days 1a+1b)
Indicator of how plugged in ESPN is to what their viewers want to see:
- Liz Lieu and Evelyn Ng were on TV tables, but ESPN hardly got them into a shot. - They did, however, find plenty of time for David Williams's mom Shirley and Jamie Gold's mother Jane. I guess someone at ESPN read that their demographic is into MILFs. And those that don't like MILFs are into Ray Romano and Brad Garrett. Unofficial hands-shown count, episode one: - Hands shown: 8 (only counts hands were the preflop action was shown). That's down from 9 in episode one of last year's Main Event. - Partial hands: 11 (generously including anything else that focused on poker action, even if it was just somebody busting). - Non-poker segments: 16, comprised of 5 major and 11 minor segments (counting segments not about poker action).

That was like a damn car wreck. There was nothing good about it, but I couldn't seemed to turn away from it.
Shirley Williams makes me want to puke, and now Jamie Gold's mom. Are you f'n serious?

I think he meant MINF. Or maybe MINIAMFYF. Or maybe MIWFWYD. But definitely not MILF (and I'm old).

Off topic:: "My DVR is set to record all the new WSOP events, but it's been acting screwy lately. "
Me too.. Both my DVRs have been resetting a lot this week.. Is DirecTV doing something to us TiVO users?

Re: WSOP on ESPN thread (8/21 - Main Event Days 1a+1b)
What a horrible call by Johnny Donk with his pocket aces against the 10 4 heart flush of that dude. There's king, queen, 10 and three hearts out on the board. Just horrendous.
