ur an idiot steve, no one gives a shit about the sixers.

why dont you stop being a retard, and start posting shit your “fans” care about, and come here for, and thats poker.

you have to be the worst professional alive.

you advertise this “blog” yet update it rarely and basicly u do fuck all, also, I couldnt help but notice your recent downswing.

get more focused or consider me removing this from my favorites. yes, im drunk, but shit man, get your act together, jesus christ.

peace from canada.

It looks like nobody gives a crap about the Sixers. A bunch of overpaid prima donnas. Blog about some poker,healthcare reform, or the Dont ask don’t tell.

Hmm. I remember I almost had sex one time. I mean with someone else. I was starting to wonder maybe if I lived in a van it would help. Maybe I could impress the babes with stories of my travels to distant exotic places like the gym to take a shower…

I’ll get back with ya on this in a few months…where the heck you been?
I haven’t watched b-ball (MJ era) for a long time but I think, if this report is valid, that attitude will cause failure in any professional sport/team!! I know you love them Sixer’s and I hope they can get someone in there to help turn the team around!! Coach and players alike!!

Comment on “Life is on the wire…the rest is just waiting” by Eddie C

Well put, Tony. I mean you really have to be somewhat sick to be a professional poker player. Risking your livelihood isn’t something that most people consider doing. Most people believe in safe, sound investments like a job that will provide a steady paycheck and no risk. But at the same time it’s risk vs. reward and to the thrill seeker that is what this quote means. The moments you feel alive is when life is on the wire, everything else is just waiting for those moments to come. The best poker players are action players.

most collection agencies are shady , and dont own the debt , and there are certain laws and practicesthat are different when it comes to collecting debts. usually u just need to write them a letter certified mail quoting one of the fdcpa or fcra laws and that usually quiets them

All interesting analysis thus far… This is a very interesting quote and if you interpretet it to believe what it means to your life, I’m not sure if there is a wrong meaning to this quote. However, I always thought Mike McDermott who references the quote in the movie is comparing his life as a poker player to that of Karl (Papa) Wallendas life as a high wire walker… Ok, now to compare, Mike is a poker player in the movie, he’s doing it for a living for the most part, and what he’s doing for a living certainly has its risks and rewards… Its not your normal lively hood… It can be an easy living a lot easier than most lines of work, but yes that risk is always there that with one mistake or one “bad fall” of a card you can lose it all. Wallenda lived the same live, this was his job, he was an entertainer which brought great fame to his name and why he is remembered but then with that reward came the risk he also took since he thrilled crowds with the factor that he and the flying Wallendas worked with no safety net that one wrong step up on the highwire could be his very last. So in a nutshell, Mike is comparing his life on the felt to Wallendas life on the wire, and off the felt like Wallenda off the wire, he is just waiting, waiting for the next game the next hand the next big pot etc. etc. etc.
