Six Observations From the 2023 NFL Combine The Top 100 NFL Free Agents of 2023 In this year’s NFL draft, the Chicago Bears have found themselves in a high-stakes poker game similar to what Mike McDermott deals with throughout Rounders. “I can’t,” Mike says, “I don’t play cards.” Mike’s key to poker is playing the man, not the cards. They ask him if he wants to stay and play. Mike, of course, guesses everything right and his professor wins, well, handily. One of the judges at the table offers to consider Mike for a cushy clerkship if he can guess what cards are in everyone’s hand. “We know what we’re holding-and we know what you’re holding.” One questions whether what Mike is doing is wise. The other lawyers at the table start grumbling. He plays his professor’s hand for him and bets the maximum amount after the first round of cards is dealt. McDermott is a poker shark who quickly realizes that everyone at the table, including his professor, is a minnow.
Early in the movie Rounders, Matt Damon’s character, Mike McDermott, is observing his law professor’s poker game.
