We have these things called DVD's now, that way anyone will be able to see it and there will be a record of it forever.

True that.

Hopefully TAR sells a ton of them. At $99, that'll be awesome for you guys.

How many you think will be sold? As many as watched the stream? I hope so, I truly do. More, hopefully.

And my point to that is we are talking about one bad day. It keeps getting mentioned over and over again how 2000 viewers were subjected to Earls horrible behavior, and that simply isn't true. 2000 viewers on Sunday were subjected to Earl being out of line, certainly. (Throwing the cue and earmuffs being the biggest issue, IMHO.) And 2000 viewers were treated to some fantastic pool by two of the top players in the game.

Was it 200 or 300 people that were subjected to the bad behavior on Fridays stream? Not that the lower number excuses the bad behavior. I'm simply trying to put some prespective in all this. To hear many of the posters, Earls behavior in front of the entire world is sending the wrong message. And that pool is going to be dragged further into the mud as a result.

The whole world didn't see it, fortunately.

The really unfortunate thing is that only 200-300 people were paying for the stream in the first place. And I'm guilty in that regard, as well.

It's more about the "what if" if you understand me. If you try and put this on a national stage that behavior isn't going to fly and you know it.

Pool can become incredibly popular but it has to be done in a professional manner. If you had seen the 1st day you would understand what I mean. Kids couldn't watch that, that shouldn't even be debatable either.

The NFL players are not waiving their guns, snorting their drugs, drowning their dogs, and beating their hookers while competing in their professional sport and being broadcast to a national audience. If this did happen, I guarantee there would be serious ramifications, and indeed there have been players suspended and fired for their conduct "OFF duty," let alone ON, which fits Earl's case being discussed. Obviously, the public has much less knowledge of a person's conduct while behind closed doors, than they have if they are paying to watch it on video. This analogy is seriously flawed. Please reboot.

I guess they don't talk trash or gesture to the crowd and taunt fans either, or do they? Rebooted.

It's official. After this post I see why you didn't take me up on the 2 to 1 wager before. I wasn't sure about it then, but it appears I had the stone cold nuts all the time.

What about Tiger Woods with the cameramen or anyone in the crowd who did something he didn't like? Does that count?
 
Earl was defiantly off his rocker the entire match. There were 2 moments that I shook my head at. First one was when he slammed down his headphones and broke them. . that wasn't what had me shaking my head. He had a back up pair in his bag, as if he knew he was gonna smash the first pair. And the second is when Shane played a lock up safe, wasn't hard to execute, but he locked Earl up pretty good. Keep in mind I think Earl had about 94 wins at this point. A handful of people in the crowd Clapped after the shot. Earl goes off saying, "you people are applauding that? you think that was a hard shot? wow shows how much they know" I mean really Earl?
 
Hmmmm

Just one of many, many blowups. http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/23819152/

"At the time, Woods reacted to the click of a camera with an obscenity-laced tirade that included a threat of bodily harm to the next photographer who snaps during his swing."
 
Hmmmm

Oh, hookers?? I did not know that. Yeah, paying for that pretty little blond ex-wife of his. $100M is what I heard she got. So, I guess I know three things now.....
 
I'm confused, how this thread go from "Earl vs. Shane" to Tiger Woods having to pay for sexual favors.
 
Ahhhh, the weak minded. Fortunately for me, I'll be the standing to the side while they are standing in front of the fan when the shit hits it. I applaud you all, for without you, I might suffer the same fate. LOL:thumbup:
 
Earl you've lost my vote

After Earls last match against Shane i will never give the man another chance for my attention. He just doesn't deserve it... He is making a mockery of a beautiful game. And now with his next match against Archer.... Johny I thought you were more than this....

Or maybe Johny is on the same business plan as Earl... to make pool more like Big Time Wrestling.

I am staying on the Shane, Efren, Bustamante bus. Men of character and super skill.

Johny you still can cancel this match and I think a great majority of pool lovers will respect you more.

As for Shane... This year at Derby he and hit some balls around for about an hour or two ( I gave him the 8, no shit). He kicked the shit out of me and I loved it.. But seriously he is a true pleasure to play against. His character is what I like the most about him.

Next year at Derby your not getting the 8 though....
