2025 All Japan Championship

Using a gay singer that got busted in a Hollywood men's room probably not the greatest idea. Just sayin. BTW, for the record i couldn't care less if pool is/isn't considered a sport. Just based on some the fat, totally out-of-shape people i've seen play it at its highest level i'm leaning HEAVILY towards NON sport.

if you were referring to my post, he did a very unsportmanlike thing some year ago and disrespected the sport, himself and his fans.. he's clearly very talented, but has some ways to go to earn my respect

Shark Move Part 58 - Verbal Concession

If I am conceding to someone I will use my hand and roll the money ball in so there is no question. If it is someone I know well I will try to toss my towel on the table in front of the money ball about the same time he hits the Q ball. There is never any question my intent. If someone says nice game or something similar before I hit the money ball I will walk over and shake their hand before touching anything on the table. We don't use pocket markers but we play call ball/pocket, I always, always call the money ball, even if its ridiculously obvious. I have yet to have any problems.

Cole Dickson's practice session routine

Okay a cold finger morning so I am back with more Coal.
In 85? Reno Sands tournament. I seated myself behind Efren's money handlers with two large briefcase.
Cole approaches in the walkway around the arena. Efren was up against Ed Kelly next. Cole says, "I will bet a thousand that Ed gets to 7." The reply was, "you bet one thousand, Ed get 8 for 1 you bet 2 Ed get to 7." Cole pivoted with phone to ear and returned minutes later okay to 2 Ed gets to 7." "Yes" was the flavor of the conversation at the race 2 nine 9⃣ ball..
Ed was the only player to get to 7 against Efren.
I didn't see any cell phones in 1985.

Who is the best player of the last 40 years not to win a major event?

think both are pushing 40. but seeing bergman match up with tony in one pocket earlier this year, i have no doubt he's still the best player in the US after the break, along with fedor of course. but forget rotation for a while, and say bergman enters buffalo 1p. also forget tournament rustyness. would he not be a top 5 buy? i think he should be.
Fedor would run Bergman....I'd bet my house on that. Too bad it will never happen.

Imagine being able to play at that level, with a backer for free money? Makes no sense.
