Marty played good, real good. And he is a highly intelligent man. Even though we disagreed on more than one occasion I still consider him a friend.That's pretty harsh, but there's people out there that I feel the same way.
I meet Marty many years ago in Boston early in my flying career. We gambled playing some 9ball. I lost but it was pretty close. We hit it off pretty well as pool friends. He invited me to Boston to do some training, but I was never able to that. I didn't know him at all really, but he was very nice to me. I lost track of him many years ago.
I read that 50-year-old John Higgins now has a second role as a broadcaster. I have trouble understanding the Scot when he speaks, but I'm sure he'll be sharing some delicious wisdom nuggets in his commentary, which will make it all worthwhile. It makes me wonder if he’s able to put in the same hours of preparation he once did before tournaments like this with the new job.
A few years ago, he lost 50 pounds in 5 months by "spinning" on high-intensity stationary exercise bikes, which were convenient when he traveled because most hotels have them in their exercise rooms.
That said, I still really enjoy watching him in action. There’s something about the way he carries himself, especially when he smiles, win or lose, that makes him a pleasure to watch.

Put a few bucks on Moody to pull off the upset.
AMENWhat's the point? Any idiot can tear something down, but building something requires far greater skills. Plus, there is real grace in forgiving and letting go of all the rancid emotion required to hate. Finally, which one of you hasn't fucked-up? I have. Bad. Regretfully, I'll probably do it again. I need forgiveness, and to get it, I best be ready to give it.

I need forgiveness, and to get it, I best be ready to give it.It’s genuinely refreshing to see some of the positive posts in this thread. I’ve never been a fan of kicking someone when they’re down, whether I like them or not. It can be tough to read some of the mean-spirited, negative comments without responding, especially when it often feels like the same voices return again and again just to add more negativity.
A little more balance and a little more grace would go a long way.
