FTT Off-Topic: All Bald White Men Look Alike

This is the actor Dean Norris, who plays the DEA agent Hank Schrader in one of the best shows ever written, "Breaking Bad." Schrader is occasionally subject to fits of violence mixed with equal fits of competence, bravery and luck, and he's involved in most of the major plots of the show.

And this... is a regular at my poker game, and a frequent commenter on this blog. He might be offended by seeing his image here, but let's face it: there's just not enough to talk about these days, and he's wearing sunglasses anyway. He finished second in the player of the year rankings last year, and is currently in first in this year's standings.

So to beat him, I clearly need to become a secret meth cook and lucrative criminal mastermind. For that, and so many other reasons, really.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled sports blog on the slowest sports day of the year. As for me, I'm going back to my Season 3 DVD of "Breaking Bad", where Schrader gets shot all to hell and nearly dies. In other news, the next poker game is in two days. Wear a vest.
