Once you found out that dogs are not really man's best friend, did you have them put to sleep?

What a legacy for his career. Forever known as the idiot who injured himself at a desk job. Next the army will give out purple hearts for paper cuts.

Its a toss up who is worse, the fan boys all worried about his debilitating injury, or the idiot who can't walk without falling down. I guess poker harkens to return to the scene of the "real" athletes from "Kingpin"

You can be certain that every single one of them did understand.

It's not that hard to learn English, come on.

Sorry to hear the bad news Justin. Hope you get better soon.

Also, screw everyone else givin ya **** for the celebration. If I had Mike in my corner going nuts and I was in the spot you were I would have done the same. You were on a big stage with alot on the line and hittin that river was a huge win.

Hang in there man.

The celebration has little to do with it, really. It could have, and most probably would have, happened if he'd been hurrying back from a break, walking up or down stairs, or getting out of his car. Or into it, for that matter.

I don't think I understand the "hide your happiness because someone else will feel badly at your success" attitude. Someplace between the robotic gathering of the chips and RainKhanification, is a place we get to be human and have that be okay.

Praying for that knee thing for JB, and hoping Matesow comes a postin' - he's been a personal hero of mine for many years.
