This is a cool hypothetical thought I had last night about which current or former or dead past athlete would make the best poker player. I for one would like former Cardinal Manager Whitey Herzog as not only he would be agressive but unpredictable. Another 2 guys would be former 49ers quarterback Joe Montana and current Pats quarterback Tom Brady. These two guys are and were so cool under pressure that they undoubtedly would have great poker faces and be difficult to read as well as cool enough to make the tough calls on bluffs. Who would choose?

Blue and Fish,

Nolan Ryan and Jack McKeon are great ones. Wouldn't you love to see a final 2 at the WS of Poker with Whitey Herzog going vs Jack McKeon. Definitely worth the price of admission!

How about Mark Bavarro. NFL Films clip you see often now from when he coached the Gmen - Parcells was talkin to another coach about Bavarro as they warmed up - "that guy is a stoneface that Bavaro - boy I'd hate to have to fight that son of a bitch". Always made me laugh.

JoePa! He makes Riverview Poly Tech State sound like a dynasty if it's the week before we're scheduled to play them.

I wouldn't want to suck out and put a bad beat on that huge kid who ripped a players helmet off a couple of years ago.

Arrrggggggg !

Forgot the name, something with a "T", I think.

Actually for entertainment value no final table would be better than Ditka vs Woody Hayes. Piss them both off right before they deal the cards and see what happens.

Can you imagine a final WS of Poker table of 8 of these former or current managers:

Whitey Herzog, Jack McKeon, Joe Torre, Sparky Anderson, Billy Martin, Earl Weaver, Tony Larussa and Bobby Cox

Hell I would pay for it on pay for view to see that drama,antics, and strategy!

Kyle Turley?? He looked like a mad freak on some serious roid rage after he ripped the helmet off that guy! Kyle Turley is a nutcase.
