Sunday Takes On New Meaning

With my Steelers crapping the bed yesterday and losing their playoff game (a shout-out to the police negotiators who talked me off the ledge this morning!) Sundays have once again lost their quasi-religious status. No more NFL games, at least none that I care about. I mean, how can anyone get excited about a Giants-Buccanneers playoff game? Even people in New York (well, New Jersey) and Tampa Bay? These teams are actually in the playoffs? Really?
So that means I (and NFL fans around the country) have to find some way of getting through those endless Sunday afternoons. Actually, if only they WERE endless. Because that damned Monday morning is coming up fast. But what are you gonna talk around the water cooler come that Monday morning when you can no longer complain about the horrible state of NFL officiating?
Well, why not tell everyone about how you made a big score playing in a poker tournament? Everyone likes to hear that kind of story, especially if you bring doughnuts to the office so everyone can share in your glory. And if you play in tonight's $200,000 Sunday Guaranteed Tournament you'll have a shot to brighten up what would otherwise be a dark, joyless day. Sorry, the Steeler loss is hitting me hard.
Play starts at 5pm EDT, and as always there's a bounty on our Team UB pros. Knock out P0ker H0, debo34, KrazyKanuck or Shawn Rice and you'll get your $200+15 buy-in back. Which would also be a pretty cool story to tell around the water cooler. Definitely worth springing for doughnuts over.
