Poker’s a sport (I said it), but where can I play at Yale?
For this column, I am invoking the fifth rule of 21st-century sports coverage: If ESPN covers it, it’s a sport.
Next week, I may write about bass fishing or the Iditarod. This week you get poker.

Not a sport.
If you're somehow unaware, there is ample opportunity to play the real thing. Connecticut is home to the largest casino in the world (Foxwoods) and the two largest in the US (Foxwoods, Mohegan Sun).
Go to the train station, catch the bus to the casinos, and you'll be there in an hour.
Foxwoods is currently hosting the World Poker Finals.
Eli is said to be pick for Senate seat
For new coach, a debut in front of the cameras, too
Clever work. We look forward to next week's column.
