Thought it was funny listening to him throughout the match. And we're only at rack #20. For those who don't know, he's been running his mouth since rack two. Here's a list of what I wrote down so far, starting from Rack #9

"Your side. So glad everybody's on your side."

"I don't even want to be here anymore."

"So hard to play when you got no one on your side...so hard to play."

"Leave me alone, i'm alone." - after some guy said he was on Earl's side

"They cheer for his every shot." - people seem more unsure of what to do when Earl shoots. They don't know if he'll gracefully accept the compliments or spear them with his javelin.

"I don't wanna listen to this. Un-believable."

"I've had some better shots than him."

"My out was a lot harder than that one."

"Cheer. He snookered me."

"He actually got lucky here. They don't even know it."

"What a lucky human being."

I've seen him slam his fist into the table multiple times, slam the chalk on the table multiple times, slap his cue on the table, on the floor, against the little sponsor wall where he sits. He's corrected Shane on the spot he's putting the cueball for his breaks a few times. Talking while Shane shoots. Staring people down in the crowd. Looking into the crowd. Getting up in the middle of his shots with looks of disgust at the crowd. This is worth $25 in itself, lol.

YOU'RE IN FRONT OF THE LINE!!!!
He's been breaking in front of the line his whole life.

Classic
 
I have a few more.... I was there in person at the table behind Earl and am quoting... I actually left after the 15 minute break.. I couldn't take it anymore ....some what because of Earl whining, but mostly because some of the crowd was trying to piss him off....

Earl talking to a guy who appeared to be his friend. "Tomorrow I'm getting some damn ear plugs, I can't keep listening to this $hit"

Earl talking to Shane during practice... Obviously it was about another player, whom he mentioned by name... I won't go there but if it makes sense, I'm sure you'll figure it out... "Didn't you (Shane) beat him 11-0? Did you know that when I knocked him out of ? tournament and went to shake his hand, he looked right at me and called me a fag? I said, you look like a f*cking troll, how can you make fun of me?....you and I both know that, if he had the nuts to play me, I'd give him the five ball. But you know he doesn't"

Earl to the crowd.... "You guys just came to see me unravel didnt you? That's why you're cheering for stupid shots. You know it bothers me because I have amazing hearing. . . I hear everything. He (Pointing at Shane) is over there scratching his arm when I'm shooting and I hear him...but he's deaf and doesn't realize how loud he is. I wish I was deaf, then I wouldn't have to hear this $hit"
 
The most amazing thing about Earl Strickland is how he has managed to stay alive all these years with that mouth and attitude of his.

The most amazing thing about Earl is nobody else has 5 US Open titles and 6 World Championships and he is a North Carolina native. --Leonard
 
Some more from tonight:

"That ****ing guy. He just cost me four games."

"This is my show."

"Yeah, he's a better player than me. I missed that by a mile."

After Shane drops the cue ball on the table from a scratch: "What was that? Do I sense some anger?"

"See what I gotta deal with? Crazy."

"You guys. You ain't foolin' me...*murmur something about* i'm not ignorant..."

"Everybody makes money but me."

"You think that was skill, huh?"

After Shane misses a shot: "There's a bad shot."

"We need the authorities here...to protect me...hecklin' and botherin' me."

"Let's skip the break." If anyone else didn't get the feeling that Earl wanted to skip the break because he could see Shane was down and wanted to keep the momentum going...lol.

After slamming his cue down on snookering himself: "Shut up! I don't wanna hear your antics!"

After Shane's check of Earl's racking:
Earl: "You're leaving them open on me!"
Shane: "Nope."
Earl: "Yes you are."

"Why you gotta touch my rack every time? Why you gotta do that? I don't like it."

18-23 Shane took off his necklace

Earl to Shane after he loses a rack: "Nobody's bettin' on me. That's why everybody's SHARKIN me, because nobody's bettin' on me."

After over-stroking a ball: "I keep missin' over those two punk..."

"He's tired! I ain't even tired, I could play 'til the next day."

"This guy here's threatenin' me!"

"He said to me if I act like I do, things aren't going to end very good for me!"

"I played well, he played bad."
 
one of my favorite comments on the thing came from Jerry. Earl would slam the butt of his humongous 70" cue on the floor when he got mad.

Jerry: "well it's 69 inches now."

Later he did it again and we couldn't resist going "68".

No doubt it's worth it!! Plus Earl's playing great and putting on his usual negitive show..Most people gave Earl atleast 20 games on the wire too. Should be interesting considering Earl is outplaying Shane in every department...With the 22 game spot it's Earl 57 Shane 24......Yikes
 
Just think of Earl as "Minnesota Fats with an attitude".
I don't know if Earl needs to build up a "hate" against his opponents, Like Willie Mosconi.
I don't know if Earl likes to be pools version of the bad guy in a professional wrestling match.
I don't know if it is all a reaction to his feeling like he is being sharked.
I don't know if he is sharking.

I do know that he is a tremendous player, and he is entertaining to watch.
I also know he would be more entertaining if he could take the edge off of it a little.

I wonder that myself. After all, he does play where alcohol is served and that can't be a plus in his favor.:)

The reason is there are too many lawyers and rats now a days. Johnnyt
 
How about when the crowd clapped after a nice out by Shane, then Earl goes to the table and claps by himself with a deadpan for an extended time.

I really don't know words to describe such cynical behavior. I guess "shithead" is as close as any.

Actually what I saw was Earl clapping along with everyone then kept clapping when everyone stopped. Then he stopped for a second then started clapping a little more then stopped. Then the audience started clapping again like they got the last word. Lol.

That was a funny line from Earl especially the look on his face while saying it. Not to mention Earl just finished banging his cue and doing the ole kick the chalk routine. :-)

Earls reference to this being a "hockey game" was kind of funny as well.

Earl should have requested the table be set in an enclosed sound proof box so to speak. With dark tinted windows.. That way you couldnt hear or see the crowd.

Maybe they should consider doing all big money matches like this one that way.

Not a bad idea but costly I assume. Go Earl. lol
