I cannot comprehend this
A freaking poker player is on the cover of ESPN the magazine. What in all that is fucking holy is a guy who doesnt even play a sport doing on the cover of a sports magazine. First I have to deal with ESPN's anti-Big10 bias and now I have to deal with a guy who plays CARDS on the cover of something in my mailbox? What a fucking joke. My subscription is free, but I'm STILL going to cancel it.

When ESPN had more legitimacy and wasn't such a whore than yeh, they covered only sports, because its, well a Sports network. And airing that poker garbage at 2am is one thing, but having a guy who sits in a chair and plays cards on your COVER, especially in the middle of the NCAA and pro football seasons and the baseball playoffs is a fucking travesty.

It's probably Phil Ivey. The finals of the WSOP are this week.

no it is not. Poker is a game of skill, but sitting in a chair and holding cards is not a sport.
