During the ESPN Main Event brodcast, Lon and Chad mentioned about how bloggers were referring to Darvin Moon as "Gump" . Now, although I know they werent personally attacking Moon by saying this, I felt it was very tasteless to even mention to associate the name "Gump" and Darvin Moon in the same sentence on a worldwide broadcast. Very disrespectful to Moon in my opinion. He never said one negative gesture the whole FT and although I 100% agree his play was very weak (and sometimes just downright awful) to mention Darvin "Gump" Moon after those plays portrays him as a stupid person, which in my opinion is totally uncalled for. Post your opinions here. Congrats moon on winning 5.2 million, hope you enjoy it

Come to think of it, Forrest Gump was thought to be "stupid" for investing in Bubba Gump's shrimp business, and he made a fortune Congrats to Darvin Moon on winning over $5,000,000 im genuinely happy for you. Hope you enjoy the money and your life. Poker is only a game. Glad to see you profited from it.

Push Darvin, Push!

well i didnt know it was used offensively

Yeah, I recall thinking that was a strange comparison. Wasn't Gump ******ed in the movie? Obviously Norman didn't mean it like that, but it was hard to tell. There's probably a million other names he could have used...

I thought Forrest Gump was meant to be seen in a positive light.

life is like of deck of cards, you never know which one is coming next
unless you're mr. fkn cada

forrest gump was pretty good in everything he started. football, army, ping-pong, fishing,...

doesn't mean that moon is ******ed.

mamma said stupid is what stupid do

A bj dealer name Pierino at the old Boardwalk Casino (where City Center is) seriously used to tell me that "you are only as good as the next card" (while pointing at the top card in the shoe). He was wise like Gump and is greatly missed.

I think he's more Slingblade than Gump

Forrest Gump was a simple country boy with seemingly little potential. Against all odds, Forrest went on to achieve great things....

seems like a trend. Eastgate, now Moon...******s have an edge? Seriously, how can you put them on a hand

Moon played better HU than Cada. He just gets bored at times and feels like gambling sometimes those spots work out for him and sometimes they dont but with coaching Moon could crush live tourneys on the regular.

they both run good
