Somehow, Lacey Chabert is the picture of girl for the second time this week. Last night I went to a beer and wing festival… I’m hurting today. You know what they say though – get back on that horse. Especially if that horse is full of booze. If you need me I’ll at Oktoberfest for the rest of the day. TBL and TSH will be stopping by, so don’t worry. There will be plenty of CFB coverage.

As per the way things are around here nowadays, the picture of Scarlett Johansson is small enough that you have to squint. In this case, that’s not a bad thing because it’s a scan from a magazine. I think. Either way, here’s a less squinty image of ScarJo. (NSFWife)

Poker vs. the US Dept. of Justice: "In early June, thousands of [online poker players] got a wake-up call when they tried to cash in on their winnings and couldn't access their money. Federal prosecutors in New York had ordered four U.S. banks to seize at least $30 million in payments and deposits belonging to about 27,000 online poker players." This is all a murky mess, and quite annoying, actually. "The federal government has never filed charges against anyone based solely on online poker." Sadly, you know the government is going to want a cut of that "$1 billion in revenue" players are supposedly making. A hearing is slated for Aug. 21. Good read. [ESPN] (17)
Poker: The World Series of Poker's Main Event has whittled its 6,494-player field to nine names, and this time you've heard of one of them: Phil Ivey. He's charismatic, on Twitter, and has been called "the Tiger Woods of Poker," but he has never been to the final table at the Main Event before and will be one of the short stacks when he gets there. The subplots: One of the "November Nine" worked at Bear Stearns, and another says if he wins it all, he'd toss the winner's bracelet and never play poker again. The final table will be live (ish) on ESPN on November 7th; this blog has good recaps of everything. (ESPN) (44)
