Unreal
This is totally a classless comment that is really uncalled for. You sir, should be ashamed. Without knowing the full details of a event that happened almost a decade ago your gonna just throw that out there? It's obvious you don't like Dennis, that's fine, but low blows like this are childish.
Buffalofloyd,
I disagree with you strongly.
First, Cuesmith printed nothing "classless". He referenced an incident that is on record.
Second, how do you know what Sherm does or doesn't know???
YOU however, DO have the whole story on what happened "X" amount of years ago, right? Yea, sure.
Why is it that nowadays, people are so willing to jump down someone's throat for pointing out something that DID happen in the past? Why is someone who made a "mistake in judgement" (as people are now apt to say) or commited a crime, so off limits from every being mentioned ever again?
Yet, the very same people who will bash someone for something they wrote can just about vilify people like Strickland and think nothing of it?
THAT'S classy???
It's so easy for some of the people here to jump on the bandwagon and just pound someone unmercifully (Earl) for his behavior, which, by the way and for the record, NEVER RESULTED IN HIM SERVING ANY JAIL TIME. Yet, let someone actually BE CONVICTED OF A CRIME & SERVE TIME IN A PRISON and nobody is allowed to ever mention that ever again?????
Hush-hush or you are called "classless"?????
Say anything about it ever again and you'll hear the left wing cuckoos tripping over themselves to say "So & so served his time! Cut him a break!"
Yet, when Earl breathes wrong, threads are made about it. Go figure.
Has Earl Strickland ever commited a crime where he was ever arrested? Let alone convicted??? The answer is a resounding "No". But nonetheless,
villify him for checking the position of a cue ball.
Did it ever occur to anyone that perhaps Dennis was purposely placing it as close as possible just to get Earl riled up? When Earl checks something like that, did it ever occur to you that perhaps he had reason to? No, I bet you never thought of that.
Do you remember in the 2001 Master's 9 Ball Championships when Earl told Corey Deuel that he, Corey, "just can not be trusted" to rack the balls fairly after having found holes in Corey's racking for several games. All that is on tape by the way. And Corey correctly racked them the rest of the match after Earl called him on it.
Take pot shots at a man like Earl and you get atta boys from the other people who love to pile it on. Yet stick up for the ones in pool who have actually been convicted of a crime. Not of poor sportsmanship (which is debateable anyway) but of a CRIME that resulted in a permanant criminal record.
Makes a whole lot of sense, doesn't it.
Here's another gem...A crime occurs in a bad neighborhood and the residents blame it on the Po-lice! Next day, when the police are arresting someone in that very same neighborhood, they are accused of picking on the people who live there. Damned if they don't & damned if they do.
In other words, some people have tremendous double standards.
Least anyone think I'm refering to Mr Hatch in my post, I'm refereing to everyone who has ever been arrested & convicted who is then placed on a "Do not touch" list here at AZBillirads. After all, they served their time. Let's give them a 2nd or 6th chance and just don't nobody ever bring it up ever again. After all, some here have real rascals to roast. Like a 6 time Word Champion & 5 time US Open Champion who checks the position of a cue ball.
GO Earl!!!
