If you ever find yourself gambling with Michael Jordan, make sure to bring plenty of money, snacks and maybe a sleeping bag, too.
During an appearance on the
All Things Covered podcast (via CBSSports.com s Chris Bengel), Walker recalled a game of spades he played with Jordan that lasted 36 hours: When Mike calls, the buy-in goes up a little higher. It s going to be a number that everybody has to bring to the table. I d say $20,000 just to get in. If you don t have $20,000 to get in, you can t even play. Mike was competitive. I remember one time we played spades for 36 hours. We were playing against two other guys and Mike and I were partners. They had us behind $900,000.

Actor and professional wrestler Tommy “Tiny” Lister died at the age of 62 on Thursday, according to his manager Cindy Cowan. Law enforcement was called to the scene of Lister’s Marina Del Ray, California, residence just before 3 p.m. on Thursday after there was a call regarding an unconscious male.
Cowan revealed that Lister displayed symptoms of COVID-19 in recent days. The actor had been working on a film, but had to cancel shooting as a result of feeling ill.
Lister wasn’t transported to the hospital and was pronounced dead at the scene. The coroner has yet to reveal a cause of death for the 6-foot-5 entertainer.
