Compare Prices and Read Reviews on ESPNews at Epinions.com What I also like about ESPNews is that it does not air ridiculous non-sports related programs like the World Series of Poker, which should never ever be on a sports network because the people involved are not athletes and poker is a card game, not a sport. I knew from the beginning that ESPNews would be on the air for a long time since its resources come on a true sports network (back in 1996, I'm not quite sure what to make of ESPN in 2004, but it is still easily the best in sports). I like ESPNews because I do not have to wait until SportsCenter, though it is on the air all morning except a special sports event like the World Cup soccer and British Open golf tournaments. www.epinions.com /content_157901033092   (409 words)

Noel Furlong ended the day the way he'd spent most of it, collecting lots of chips. Noel Furlong, the chip leader when the day started and still close to the lead now, sat in the small blind; Alan Goehring, the mystery man behind the big wraparound sunglasses, sat in the big blind, and Huck Seed flat called the $6,000 from the button. fossilman.conjelco.com /wsop99/event18.html   (1090 words)
