Erick Lindgren's bankroll > Dane Cook's?
Listen, nobody likes Dane Cook. That's pretty well established. With the exception Dane's turn in Dan in Real Life (something we like to call the Tom Arnold True Lies Exception), Cook hasn't done one remotely redeeming thing in his entire entertainment career.
Apparently Erick Lindgren agrees. From the 2+2 forum:
Erick Lindgren and some friends went to a comedy show with Dane Cook as the headliner. Ten minutes into the Dane Cook set Lindgren et. al left the building because they didn't really think that Dane Cook was funny. Dane from the stage, in a large building, says:
"Where the hell are you all going?!?"
"We're leaving because your show sucks and you're not funny," responds Erick.
"Just walk back out that door to the unemployment line!"
"You know what? I am unemployed, have been for a long time, and make more money than you do. If I had my own Showtime special then I might even be funny too."
Fucking Erick Lindgren.
While we're not 100% sure what Dane did after that, we are 100% sure (with apologies to Tami from Real World II) that "it wasn't NOT funny."
UPDATE: Confirmed to be Erick Lindgren. He left after 15 minutes, retorting to Cook that he and crew were going down the street to find a funny comedian (i.e. nothing about a Showtime special).

FOWCP Erick Lindgren is hosting an online fundraiser for the the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society/Southern Nevada in memory of Mindy Trinidad.
Trinidad final tabled the 2007 World Series of Poker Ladies event and won the Reno Hilton's Pot of Gold. The mother of two recently passed due to complications associated with Leukemia.
To enter the fundraiser, go to the FullTilt Tournament Lobby and click on the PRIVATE tab. The tourney is listed as "Dec 3 19:00 Hold'em NL $5 + $5" with the password "charity."
The winner banks a first place cash prize and a "WORLD" model Curtis & Co. watch valued at $2,200.
And that concludes the nicest post we've done all yea–ever.

While John Phan may be on a sick run this summer, Erick Lindgren has been on a filthy streak for 31 years.
Fucking Erick Lindgren.
And since it’s not human nature to actually be happy for someone else’s good fortune (what fun is that?), a bunch of pro poker players and celebs got together to sing about that fucking Erick Lindgren guy’s good run.
Maybe the vocals aren’t as "in tune" as "I’m Fucking Matt Damon" or "I’m Fucking Ben Affleck," but it’s not like Allen "The Chainsaw" Kessler is going to go to choir practice or anything. Dudes like him are too busy on Facebook for shit like that.
Fucking Erick Lindgren

In Part I of our latest webisode of The Toke, we followed the $5k buy-in Rounders Magazine FFL draft with Gavin Smith, Daniel Negreanu, Erick Lindgren, Brandon Cantu, and Peter "Nordberg" Feldman, or as Edog calls him, "Feldberg."
The auction draft was mostly just shit talking, with Gavin summing it up pretty well: "These guys have been spending money like a bunch of fucking retards."
Part II–the after-party in Gavin’s Palms Kingpin fantasy suite–coming soon. That one will be the Dark Knight to this video’s Batman Begins.

After the 2008 WSOP $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. final table, we heard from a few prominent pros that it was going to be nearly impossible for ESPN to edit this one and make eventual champ Scotty Nguyen look good.
The stream of mf bombs and insults coming out of Nguyen’s mouth would’ve gotten almost any other player a penalty of some sort, but not the Prince of Poker.
By now most people should be over the illusion of poker players as role models. But ESPN and the WPT has done a good job over the years of glossing over the seedier stuff in the industry, and Nguyen was easily one of the biggest benefactors of this treatment.
However, he just flushed all that good will down the toilet.
From his complete disrespect for other players, belligerent drunkenness, attempts at collusion with Erick Lindgren (who obviously wanted no part of it and was distancing himself from/standing up to Scotty throughout the night), and desecrating the memory of Chip Reese (who the night was kind of dedicated to), Scotty will likely never be looked at the same again.
Or Layne Flack, who looked like a big douche too.
Watch a highlight clip of his best moments below.
UPDATE: Scotty Nguyen has issued an apology, sort of. Read it here.

Some of you may of heard about this being in the works and it’s almost complete. Basically, this is what happens when you run insanely good for about 31 years and cap it off by winning the 2008 WSOP Player of the Year. Pretty sure you’ll get the gist.
