It's much easier to kick you when you are a little down. That’s why I chose to beat up on you. It’s much easier to kick you when you are a little down.

I was a little WSOP-grumpy ... my semi-apologies. I suppose it's not that hard for WSOP folks to say, hey, Phil, put on some smaller UB stuff. C'mon, man, why you making things difficult? At the same time, I'm just thinkin' NASCAR ... I don't really see a problem with one primary logo on the hood of a car/chest of a player, surrounded by lots of little logos on the fenders/sleeves. Especially when business technicalities around what images are paid for and which aren't might make any rules a little hard to enforce. Jen, you may be right.

You're right. I'm too sick for this debate. You seem seriously defensive about this issue, and I'm not sure why. All I'll say is that if there is a rule for the size of online poker site logos, then everyone should abide by that rule. That goes for Obama supporters and UB supporters alike. If Hellmuth busts out of the tournament, it won't be my fault. Maybe - just maybe - it will be the fault of his ego getting in the way of his game. He can obviously wear whatever he wants because no one will tell him any different, but his apparel has nothing to do with how he performs in the tournament anyway. Geez. Wow.

Who cares what he wears? He is bought and paid for by Ultimate Bet -- everyone knows that so what's the problem with him displaying it? And have we not seen a bazillion Full Tilt jerseys/hockey sweaters for years? What if that just happened to be someone's lucky shirt? And what if someone wanted to wear a similar sized emblem endorsing "Obama '08"? Does it make a difference if they're not being paid to wear it? Because that could be his out -- that he doesn't actually have a logo-deal with UB ... he just loves them a whole bunch because of other reasons. BTW, Hellmuth's UB logo is about the same size as the logo on those nifty Pokerati t-shirts. I'm just sayin' ... those weren't free to make, ya know! And as long as I'm picking at you on this one -- sorry, I know you're a little under the weather and not in the mood for hardcore debate, but <s>your opinion is so wrong and built on a faulty premise</s> I see things a little differently -- how can you say Michigan isn't selling itself? The school gets paid in the form of licensing fees for all the apparel it sells, and in doing so gets the added benefit of marketing itself via walking billboard! The only reason Michigan doesn't pay someone to wear its logo is because it doesn't have to! Well, I mean athletes aside ... universities pay tuition so those guys can "advertise" the school every Saturday on TV. Do you really want to see Hellmuth wearing something different tomorrow? Would that make you happy? Because if he does that and loses, it's gonna be your fault, ya know! Jen, what’s your problem with Hellmuth? Who cares what he wears?
