What's sad. .. I'm sending these jerseys all over the world to get the signatures for Johnny and this is What you post.
Your a classy guy.
Ray.
I appreciate what you are doing. I upset at Johnny because I have tried to contact him for several months because he made another promise that fell through. Thanks for making me feel like a dick. I shouldn't have help buddy when his peers wouldn't even come out there pocket. Just ****ing kill it. Sorry to waste your time trying to follow through what was promised. Pool is crap and sadly 20% of the people make me feel this way about it. I've met so many people that love this game. I wish I wasn't a part of this at all. Oh ya the post wasn't about you which you made it be. Your a classy guy. My number is 925.330.3429 if you would like to discuss it further. Jesse

Nov 1 is when this was done. We are more then 5 months past the mosconi cup. Please have johnny call me I would love to hear what his excuse is. I'm sorry you had to be apart of this. Johnny was one of my idols now I think he is a pos. he hasn't been on az since requesting money for buddy. I've sent more then 5 texts without response he should have my number. Lol thing is I should have expected this.

I'll still buy that action...lol
does Buddy even know about this debacle? cause i'm real sure, based on his condition, that he's sitting @ home to quickly sign. and if he received that $250, then he needs to return it.
otherwise, Johnny needs to come out of pocket $250. (before he leaves for Rochester w/ Hatch @ PPV $5 fee.)
the customer needs to get the shirt, as-is at this point, @ N/C.
that free signed Scorpion cue that i was personally guaranteed for the inconvienience to the customer's son - needs to be shipped ASAP.
and Big Truck needs to be released of this ENTIRE Johnny mess.
**one other thing - JA & BH should publically THANK those who contributed in OCT**

1. I think Jesse has been incredibly patient and I'd be mighty pissed myself at this point.
2. Ray has placed himself in a tough spot trying to clean up after a couple of legends did not do what they said they would. Commendable of Ray, but a tough spot to be in for sure.
3. The guys looking to buy the rights to this shirt from Jesse are nits.
4. After all of this waiting, Jesse deserves his signed shirt, not a refund.
5. It shouldn't take Skylar, who I understand is doing a favor, a month or more to get Buddy's signature (lives nearby). And, btw, Buddy, whose benefit the auctions were held for, should be *running toward" this shirt to put his signature on it.
6. It should have been taken care of at MC like was promised so there wouldn't be this global outreach for signatures. duh.
7. dhl, fedex, ups, all can get a shirt to anywhere in the world fairly fast. If Johnny Archer and/or Buddy Hall truly have an interest in taking care of someone who they made a promise to, this could have been handled in weeks, not many months.
8. Ray is a good man who can only do so much - cooperation from these guys is tough action, apparently.
8. Insult on top of injury: A cue promised by JA to Jesse's son (cute, cute, cute, btw) for the inconvenience over the shirt debacle was also not sent? c'mon. wth. :angry:
9. JA & BH should be ashamed. I don't think they are, though.
10. do what you say.
best,

I was just trying resolve situation I offered to buy the shirt only after Jesse publicly asked for a refund. I agree Jesse has right to be mad and most would be. But I figured if I buy shirt I am really patient ( if I can wait few years for custom cue I can wait year for shirt). Not saying anybody should have to wait that long or they shouldn't be upset about what has taken place. Just saying I personally have no problem waiting. And I know Johnny and buddy really screwed up here but I would hate to see to of the greats reputations go down over few hundred bucks. ( again I agree they have really screwed up). But we all screw up sometimes. And I would hate to see one screwed up deal ruin the reps of two legends. So Jesse if u want me to buy rights to ur shirt if u definately want to sell and are just done with this situation contact me this nitt will buy it haha.

I was offering to pay you the money back and ill take the jersey. Would look good hanging in my pool room.
and THIS, is my POINT. especially after they made $$$$$ from Mosconi loss.
$250 is not worth my time & headache & reputation. (no offense Jesse) there will probably be $1000 in manhours & freight, by the time this is over.
i am starting to understand what is wrong with Pool.
No thanks. It was bought to help buddy and to showcase it in my room. I also bought another item which was received 4 days after the cue. Jay Helphert (spl?) proved he is one if the best in the business. He even had time to play me a couple $10 games of bank pool when I was in town picking up a pool table. If it takes longer then a year I might auction it off to charity. You can bid then.
American Pro pool that is. Even many of those we thought were "not like that" are like that unfortunately. They are more busted than they have ever been and at this point, some are just desperadoes. Pool pretty much deserves the rep it has in this country.
Im not sure why a jersey from the most embarrassingly behaved worst playing Mosconi team in history would look good anywhere.

Brian,
If you or anyone thinks that these signatures can get rounded up "easily" just because we have fed-ex is wrong. Plus I am not using any Overnight services.
1. Skylar received the shirts from Jay Helfert in Ca
2. Skylar tried to find Buddy when he got back with no luck. Then he left again for SBE. He didn't take the shirts to SBE since he was only asked to get Buddy. (Earl was at SBE) When he returned to Padukah he tried locating Buddy again and was about to give up when Buddy walked in the pool room just as Skylar was leaving. We now have Buddy's signature. All of Buddy's phone numbers are disconnected.
3. Skylar brought the Jersey with him to Houston and handed off to me.
4. I "was" planning on shipping the Jerseys to Earl's pool room as soon as I made contact. I am out in the field now on 8 events in a row. I was planning on setting up my computer here in New Orleans and start tracking Earl down.
Jesse is aware of all of this but still wants to get on AZ and act like nothing is being done. He can deal with Johnny now. Mike's will continue It's Journey but NOT before arrangements are made with a trust worthy contact. These Jersey's could easily disappear with the wrong person.
They currently have all signatures except: Earl Strickland, Johan Ruysink and Karl Boyes

The Lifestyle Eventually Catches Up
Last week I heard JA talking on a live stream talking about the times he was playing golf in Hawaii. I also remember stories about top players winning tournaments or gambling matches and then pissing away tens of thousands of dollars at the Casino. Then of course you have Buddy's famous dump! These guys have no concept of the value of hard earned money and no concept of integrity or personal responsibility for their actions. Not surprised that Buddy can't pay his phone bill and Johnny can't keep his commitments! These two are not professionals representing a great sport. Glad neither of them are representing the USA at this years Mosconi Cup....Nuff Said!

Ray;
You definitely don't have any need for defending what you've done as far as I'm concerned.
The way I see it, you're just trying to do a good thing and, unfortunately, you're at the mercy of other's schedules and cooperation levels.
If you would like, you are welcome to send me the shirt and I'll get it signed by Earl real quick and then will ship it out to whomever you wish, Euros included, on me, as my way of trying to help out.
Let me know if this would work.
best,
brian kc
