- "Table feel"
- Back when I was fresh out of college I sat down to kibbitz some world-class players. I had been told to look at only one player's hand but I slipped and took a very quick peek at RHO's hand. When I looked up all four players were staring ...

There's an ACBL World Championship book from that year that may provide an interesting but limited data set. Unfortunately, my ...

- Randy, you have no idea what you're talking about and your blind acceptance of the BS that was splashed all over the media by scandal-hungry sports reporters proves it. Those reporters were overjoyed to have something negative to say about the Patriots because it was exactly what the envious ...
- Avon Wilsmore and Eugenio Chiaradia
- Filming the game is perfectly legal and every team, including college and high school teams, has done it for decades. What Belichick did wrong was to film from the field instead of the coaches' box. He admitted that he was unaware of the rule and paid the fine. It was ...

- This is off-topic but I'm offended by people who believe all the BS spread by the media about the New England Patriots. Randy Breuer commented: "in USA NE Patriots have been accused and convicted a couple times for cheating do you think they have fewer fans today than before ...
