NYTimes Sports using poker to talk football

New York Times writer Karen Crouse equates poker to football in today's column, as she led her Saturday column with the following paragraph:
"While most of the other N.F.L. teams showed their hands, laying down the straights that are their offensive and defensive lines and the face cards that are their receivers and their defensive backs, the Jets approached the final week of the preseason as if they were holding a bad rummy hand."

Ms. Crouse must think the Jets are going to be pretty bad, as it's tough to win at poker when you're playing rummy...
