Tonight, Lakers vs Celtics NBA Finals Game 4 and I won’t be watching.  In fact, I don’t think I’ve watched the NBA finals since OJ Simpson interrupted with his wild Bronco chase (the reason Ford stopped making the Bronco) and so…the NBA era I loved is gone.  Remember…being a Cougar makes me a Phi Slamma Jama fan.

Anyway, in totally unrelated news…(unless you’re betting on the finals and playing at the WSOP) 2008 World Series of Poker has yet again awarded another bracelet to a well known Full Tilt pro, Mike Matusow.  Second place went to Jeff Lisandro, which is the guy that gave Chops the almost win last year in his poker fantasy, I mean fantasy poker.

This year’s larger buy-ins has created an atmosphere in the Amazon Room that makes the WSOP feel like a serious, respectable tournament again.  Sure, you have to get lucky in tournaments (or Phil Hellmuth would be throwing back his head with laughter as he melted down every single bracelet into gold bars – in a David Lynch movie sort-of-way) but playing the field of Event 18 is no easy task and even better is Matusow’s comeback from a short-stack win.
