Poker Pearl #1

As promised, with a nod to the Poker Grump's "Poker Gems," I bring you the first of these bits of wisdom gleaned from the poker wordscape. This one is in keeping with our current theme, but ironically may be an anomalous way to kick off the feature, since it's poorly sourced and not explicitly about poker. I heard it on the radio a while back--I wanna say it was Stefan Fatsis on NPR, but anyway it was about football teams. (Please let me know if you know the correct source.) But without further ado (boy, this is going to be anticlimactic):

"You're never as bad as you look when you're losing--or as good as you look when you're winning."
