After 5 years in Hyde Park, so nice to never see Stoney Island again. 
He is bad just like his boy Collin.molina tried to get sponsorship by predator when he started the podcast, iirc. got snubbed, and hated on pred for years, including the format, the shoot outs etc. now that he's gotten bad access to MR he's hating on them and praising predator, including the format. it shows low integrity and poor journalism. not to mention it has gotten quite old now, and makes me listen to the podcast less often because it's repetitive.
panozzo on the other hand IS a proper journalist and doesn't act like a child.
agree on this event being great. felt almost like a bit of a jamboree, with multi disciplines and both men and women, mixed pairs. predator has been the biggest pool sponsor for decades and they keep doing great things for the sport. thumbs up from me.
Yes, he has been mentioned as he is in the weeds at the Derby every year. Played a few streaming table $ matches.Has he ever been mentioned on this forum before? How many pool players ever were identifiable by their initials alone?
,,, and what game these two players played remains a mystery. We have an early leader for worst thread of 2026.
You feel unsafe in poor neighborhoods? None of those where you’re from?It’s about the same as crossing 8 mile road from Oakland county to Detroit. The street, neighborhood, houses, buildings, yards, trash, etc. It just visibly changes, unless you’re blind.
On the most recent DogginIt podcast, MM dogged Matchroom again and said Predator was surpassing WNT. He touted the sets format, said it attracts more fans, and said MR needs to shake things up - if only its big ego wouldn't get in the way.
Mike Pannozo was, again, the voice of reason.
