ESPN Signs a New Seven-Year Contract with the World Series of Poker

    Guess the NBC schmoozing with Pollack during the National Heads-Up was all for naught.

    Or was it? I get a sense that Pollack knows more about playing poker than he lets on.

    I hope they sign Lon and Norman to 7 year extensions as well.
