Quinn Ewers plays his first 3 pro snaps, jogs off the field and gets a nasty cold shoulder from his “head coach.” Mike McDaniel may end up being a great OC for another team, but this guy does not have what it takes to be a successful head coach in the NFL.
It’s time to move on.

My dad got me into poker around 2001. Doyle Brunson was a legend in our home. Super System was our bible and DoylesRoom.com was Sunday church.
Season 2 of the PokerStars Big Game, I helped @ScheckTwit cast and coordinate the players. Doyle Brunson was booked to play an episode, so I flew my pops to Vegas and got him a backstage pass for the show.
Dad got to meet @phil_hellmuth and @JosephHachem before play started. After a few hours of play, lunch rolled around. Pops and I were making small talk in the green room when in walked Doyle Brunson. I believe he was still using a single crutch to get around at that time.
Starstruck but unfazed, my pops proceeded to trade stories with the Godfather of poker for the entirety of an hour while I watched in disbelief, trying to figure out how my life had come full circle this way.
Before Doyle returned to the game, he asked for my father’s name and address. Said he wanted to send him a gift. I thanked him and wished him luck.
A few weeks later, dad got a package in the mail. Doyle kept his word. Inside the box was an individually signed copy of every book he had ever written, and that’s exactly how I will always remember the legend that was Doyle Brunson. ❤️

Very cool pregame moment here at @MiamiDolphins v @HoustonTexans.
@Tua spotted a kid holding a sign that says: “All I want for Christmas is a picture with Tua,” and Tua obliged.

When it happened live, I legitimately thought the 11th defender was just late running onto the field. 😂
One potential challenge: This can only be used in situations where a team is attempting to milk max clock and the run can be timed perfectly. Otherwise, the holder can simply wait for the motion player to lose momentum.

I don’t think Tua is “checked out.” He did (deservingly) get criticized for throwing a teammate under the bus, but I’ll give it to him — this clip was a better look for him.
When Tua’s good, he’s good. When he’s bad, he’s bad.

I witnessed one of the craziest hands I've ever seen in today's Mystery Millions Bounty event.
As the dealer is pitching everyone's hole cards, she accidentally flips over the A♠️, which would've been Joe McGowan's card. She gives him a replacement and finishes dealing.
Action folds to Joe in the HJ and he opens to 1,500 (blinds were 300-500 | 500). I fold, then Brynjar "Eli" Gigja (@StakeKings' Director of Development) calls. Sb also calls, and they go three ways to a 444 flop.
SB checks, Joe bets 3k, Eli calls, SB folds.
The turn is a ten and Joe bets 7k. Eli tanks for a minute and calls. The river is an ace, so the board is now 4 4 4 T A. Joe bets 10k. Eli shoves for 31k and Joe snaps. Eli shows 64dd for quad fours.... Joe tables two red aces.
The guy lost an ace to a dealer error... got dealt aces anyway... rivered the case ace.... and lost to quads. 🤯
And maybe the best part? Eli was completely unaware the A♠️ flashed preflop and only found out after chatting with @pokerorg during the break. Link to his reaction in the comments below ⬇️

Richest man in the world, handpicked by the President to run a made up department of government, making him an unelected bureaucrat, on a platform he bought and manipulates, is letting us know we need to restore power to the people.

We don’t deserve the unsung heroes in our grocery stores working tirelessly around the clock to keep the shelves stocked. They’re working harder, longer hours, for the same amount of pay, in an environment that increases their chances of catching the virus. You guys are awesome.

Told my daughter that Dad has a new job. Shortly after she sent me this picture, congratulating me on my new job at “Giraffe King” (@DraftKings). I wanted to frame it and put it in my office, but she’s so proud of her work she wants to keep it for herself. Can’t blame her, tbh.❤️

The Dolphins really retiring “Fins Up” because of an old trademark owned by Margaritaville. 👎🏼

To make this about a specific fanbase and using a laughing emoji is disgraceful. A father died, man.
Fights like this happen every game, involving fans from every team. It’s a growing problem owners need to address broadly, or else we’ll continue to see similar tragedies occur.

The World Series of Poker experience is basically flying United Airlines:
Flight delays waiting for a crew = tournaments delayed waiting for dealers
Main cabin = ten handed
Bag of chips $9 = Bag of chips $9
Fights over the armrest = fights over the table not being square
People clapping when the plane lands = people clapping when they’re in the money
Crying babies = take your pick
The safety demonstration = pre tournament announcements (no one’s actually listening)
Mystery delays with no end in sight = mystery delays with no end in sight
What am I missing?

The @WSOP is controlling entry to the Main Event / TV room today with added security, metal detectors and a bag check. Overheard a couple guys lashing out at security guards over the inconvenience on the way in. I’m one voice, but I think this was a smart and important decision.

Did he speak? Sure. Did he show he’s a leader? Absolutely not. He never has. You want examples of leadership, play back the post game interviews from Calais and Jonnu. That’s leadership.
I’m over the Tyreek Hill experience.

My wife overheard me listening to this report and said:
“How great for Tua Tagovailoa that him and his doctors get to decide what he should do with his own body. Meanwhile, half the country think women shouldn’t have that same right. Fascinating, isn’t it.”
She’s got a point.
From @NFLGameDay: #Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa has no plans to retire, sources say. He’s already begun seeing concussion specialists and will continue to do so, but there is no timeline to return. Tua will be back when he and his doctors deem him healthy and ready.

WSOP first:
A new dealer sat down at our table and changed decks, as they do. When he spread the new deck on the table, there was a random driver’s license in the middle. 😂
Dealer says, “What the…,” and held it in the air, scanning our faces. It belonged to the 5 seat. 💀
