I was recently interviewed by Joe Levin for a feature cover story about gambling legend Doyle Brunson. It was an honor to be involved and introduce such an excellent writer to several gamblers who know Brunson and could add perspectives that perhaps hadn’t been shared before.

The simpleton solution is to lock people up and throw away the key. I totally get that. But if the purpose of our criminal justice is “detention and rehabilitation,” then shouldn’t we celebrate success stories?

“EACH TIME I TRIED THE KEY I WAS JUST PRAYING”
What’s the Harm of Praying? Exhibit A (Uvalde):
The Chief of Police in Uvalde spent more than an hour in a corridor outside of Robb Elementary School. He called for tactical gear, a sniper, and keys to get inside. When keys finally arrived (apparently by Pony Express), he tried dozens of them. But one by one the keys failed to work. Meanwhile, the crazed gunman was blasting away, one by one, murdering children inside.
“Each time I tried a key I WAS JUST PRAYING,” Pete Arredondo explained when asked what had happened and why it took longer to get through a single school door than it typically takes to slow cook a prime rib with a couple of baked potatoes.
PRAYING? How the fuck did those prayers work out for the kids trapped in there — huh, Chief? Your imaginary sky friend apparently doesn’t exist or doesn’t give a shit about dying kids. Take your pick.
Finally, 77 minutes after the massacre began (SEVENTY-SEVEN MINUTES!), another officer was finally able to unlock the door, go inside, and stop the gunman.
Prayers are no longer just worthless, they’re a dereliction of public responsibility.
Gee, unless the officer was praying the keys WOULDN’T work.

Welcome back!
It’s been a long while since we exchanged our ideas and shared our experiences. For those who are new around here, a few years ago, I started this series called “An Unconventional Convention.” The objective was (and is) to discuss common experiences and also have fun, hopefully in a civil manner, despite our differences in politics or religion, or other subjects. I discovered the best way to enjoy and learn is sometimes just to ask simple questions.
Today, let’s combine two subjects: Sports and Photography.
My longtime friend Jonathan Kaplan suggested this topic:
***What’s the greatest sports photograph of all time?***
