This time coming from someone who had no chance to finish high or cash in. I came to town with a weak team from a friendly little bar. My teammates, realizing we're pretty soft, originally wanted to play in the Trophy division. I told them my old pool buddies from days gone by would never...

[source: Las Vegas Sun 04/01/11] The Riviera Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, which has been in bankruptcy for almost two years, is finally calling it quits. At over 55 years old, The Riviera is one of the strip's oldest casinos. The casino's two grand ballrooms have lately been host to many of...

I thought this was interesting. The latest Los Angeles Magazine has an article written by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar about his old coach, John Wooden. "Two memories stick out in my mind because each represents a totally different side of him. The first happened when the UCLA team was on the road...

In my early days of playing pool I remember watching Swanny for hours and being amazed with his skill at the game. I'm just wondering, what is your assessment of Jay? I don't imagine you'll be at the Swanson Memorial next month, or will you?

On the main forum there was a thread about next years' season and a lot of speculation about the boards' decisions. Do you know whats going on? Can you even talk about it? Is everything in the WPBA under control? Just curious because I enjoy watching you gals competing.
