Positively Crap Street Part 2: Blogger Flames McManus

READ MORE: James McManus

The monster is out of its cage. Responding to last weekend’s introductory New York Times >”poker” column by Positively Fifth Street author James McManus, blogger and poker writer Mean Gene Bromberg gave a tepid review of the column on his blog, even though the title of his post suggests more scrutiny:”Why My Poker Column Can Kick Jim McManus’Column’s Ass”. Heh.

McManus showed his zebra stripes and Mean Gene was there to puma pounce:

[McManus]is writing a poker column for the New York Times called, well, “Poker”. His first effort, well, sucked. Blah blah, poker reflects the heart and mind of America, blah blah, riverboat gamblers, blah blah, Hold-Em is intrinsically beautiful…it’s more an introduction to a column than a column itself.

If McManus only knew of the flaming hoops of poker blogdom he will have to jump through. He’d be wizened to wear non-flammable pants from here on out.
