The Celebrity Apprentice is over. What a joke! If Donald Trump was really hiring someone, who do you think he would pick? I think that when Joan Rivers threatened to not come back, Trump assured her she would be the winner. That's just my opinion, but they certainly got great ratings for the show. I thought it was impossible for anyone to outtalk Annie, but Joan started screaming everytime Annie tried to say anything and Trump allowed it. As to the remark about Annie's friends being in the Mafia, I'm from Texas and we have possums, raccoons and skunks. There is no such animal as Mafia down there. I like everyone on the show (even Melissa) except the winner. But it goes back to the old saying, "That's why they make chocolate and vanilla." The month before the WSOP is the slowest time of the year for poker. Everyone is home preparing for the long grind that's coming. It will be interesting to see how the recession affects the number of players in each event. Because of the internet poker sites sending players, I feel it won't be down more than 10-20 percent from last year. I've always said the best barometer of the economy is the poker players. If they have money, the economy is ok, if they don't, look out because hard times are coming. I'm completely lost on what is going on in the gambling world. Since I had this sinus lift by the dentist, I've hardly gone out of the house. I don't know if there is any golf action but I'm pretty sure there hasn't been any poker games. Mostly because of boredom, I've been betting on the NBA playoffs with terrible results. I thought the Lakers would be the champion but now I can't see anyone beating Cleveland. But the way I'm going you should bet against that. We have two bounty tournaments at DoylesRoom, Doyle's Bounty and Beat The Brunsons. It is a pleasant break to play in those every week. I don't do too well in these tourneys but my daughter Pam is smoking. I think I probably get too impatient. I also was supposed to go to Montana for Todd's tournament. My face is so black and blue and sore, I've decided to stay home. I was really looking forward to going because that is my favorite place in the whole world. It reminds me of Texas when I was growing up. Everybody knows everybody and folks will help you in any way they can. Great place and the temperature was 44 degrees last night. -DB |
