SVB, Gorst, Styer and Bergman should be there. For the 5th slot it'd be between Thorpe, Hohmann and Sky, and based on recent performance at this point I'd go with Thorpe, even if he's skanked his last few MC appearances and doesn't appear on the current ranking board.
I was unimpressed with Rogan. He voiced his unfiltered opinions, yes, but he added very little of substance or entertainment value. And "very little" might be overstating it.
If he wasn't as well known as he is, people would be laughing the amateur pool commentator hack out of the booth.
I think the blackball championship only gets credited because we want him in. In general the BCA HoF has not had a history of inducting players that have dominated in that arena like Mick Hill or Gareth Potts. Or does it make more sense for those disciplines to just have their own HoF. Otherwise it feels like cherry picking just for Jayson. Do we do the same for Melling?
And honestly I’m trying my hardest not to stump against Jayson. I’m a huge fan. I just find it thought provoking to discuss how different people can have a different litmus test on this topic. And how there’s a push/pull between honoring the household names you know and love vs. trying to toe a hard line to ensure the recognition means something to the highest pedigree of significance.
I agree with you. His case seemed pretty flimsy all things considered and the blackball championship was a backdoor justification. Pretty much all HOFers will have at least one world championship and that checked the box for Shaw.
do you think if you did 2-3 hour podcasts on a daily basis that you would say something political now and then? he mostly talks about aliens, comedy and mma
So what separates Buddy's fundamentals from, say, Gorst's? His stroke was fluid with an easy followthrough, he kept his head down and his body still, and he was a long acknowledged master of pattern play. What am I missing?
