I had a story about a guy who came in our local pool room and I literally won from him the shirt he was wearing. Not much of a story compared to the ones above though. :lol:

I don't honestly see where it would make any difference. If you were trying to sell something here, and it didn't sell, then it isn't in demand. It has nothing to do with what other folks are doing or not doing. It has to do with your item not being wanted. My sig is a cue I've got listed...

I agree. There are times that I get a bit put off by Earl and his vocal bursts, but a lot of them are actually just Earl and his sense of humor. He also has fun with it. I just don't think many people get it because his tone then is exactly the same as it is when he's serious. Some people...

I guess you didn't watch the end of the NFC championship game last season, eh? :D

I consider Fats to have been nothing more than a B player even at his best. He relied upon sharking people to win. He could smash balls around and make one here and there, but wasn't what I'd refer to as a player. Mosconi or Greenleaf, et al. I think they were great players in their day, but...

I would venture to guess that outside stresses have more to do with a persons focus on pool than does anything. If Earl is at a place in his life where he's feeling content about everything else in general, then his pool game could improve dramatically. And for any person at that level or...

As long as it's not my cue, I don't care how much they smash em around.

Cherry, Apple grows in general disarray so that looks cool. Anything made into veneer proabaly has promise. But to answer the question if a usa sourced cue would hold any value to me, no. If it's pretty, wonderful. But that's about all that matters to me. I'm not concerned if the wood...

I saw a 9' one listed on Ebay but they wanted $3000 for it. Looked decent from the pics. http://www.ebay.com/itm/9-FOOT-BRUNSWICK-ANNIVERSARY-GOLD-CROWN-CAROM-BILLIARD-TABLE-/291134034750?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43c8f0d33e There is also a 10', damned hard to search for on ebay...

I have no idea how they could apply that term to pool tournament entry fees. The first place I ever heard that term was in reference to contracts of NFL players. Dead money is money which has been deferred against the salary cap, but which must count againts the cap in the current (or...

I find it hard to imagine that people have gotten thier panties in a wad so much about this tournament. It's finished and done with? I'm sure someone explained to them that they wanted to PPV all the matches, even if it meant going back and dragging someone back in. Is there a montary...

I am of the opinion that when you play great players, it's like grease, it rubs off on you. Also, you will often times play 'to your competition'. So, if you are playing someone way better than you, you may just play over your head a bit. And, there's nothing wrong with that. I know in the...

Well, the extra channels would be a waste of bandwidth is all. Upload bandwidth at every pool hall might not be adequate to offer unlimited quality, and lets face it, they're looking to give you a quality stream you can see and hear. There's only so much bandwidth to work with. The entire...

Well, the muting of the commentary by cutting one speaker would only work when the broadcast is in at least 5.1 surround. Then the center channel carries the person speaking and the fronts/rears carry the rest of the sound. Not likely anyone will be streaming in 5.1 any time soon, but ya never...

Here's Shane and Earl playing 9 ball on a bar box R-2-30. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGJf2xj3tOQ B/R% wasn't really all that high. Stats were given in the vid, but I don't remember them. Matter of fact, a lot of racks were not finished w/Ball in hand.
