Mean Gene Tells CNNSI Their Poker Writer Sucks

READ MORE: Bloggers

Poker blogger, reporter, and rapscallion Mean Gene Bromberg opens up not only a can of blogging whoop-ass on Sports Illustrated writer John Walter’s friendly little poker article, but actually manages to open many other large cans containing items that could potentially harm someone’s buttocks.

The part that really riled me was when Walters talks about a conversation between Daniel Negreanu and an “amateur” named Marco Tranello. Negreanu is described by Walters as “(having) the mannerisms of Ed Norton in Rounders”. Uh, no he doesn’t. Negreanu is at times antic and talkative, but that hardly makes Kid Poker = Worm. Perhaps Walters is trying to establish some cred by showing that, yes, he thinks “Rounders” is, like, the coolest movie of all time. Yeesh.

Mean Gene, smash!
