Didn't Earl take down SVB and Archer earlier this year? He is on top of his game. I say he should go.

What he said. You can say what you want about the f'ld-up 10 footer they played on but he beat SVB that day and backed it up with a Scorpion killing and both of the aforementioned are locks to be there.

I question whether Cory should be.

SVB, Archer, Earl, Hatch and RM (RM is the wild card unless someone else goes red hot). Having said that I'm a Canadian so what do I know.

I voted no, much as I hate for it be that way. Earl is one of the all time greats, with no doubt. But the Mosconi cup... Tried that, didn't work out.
 
Yup

I voted yes, and while I agree that past behavior can serve to predict future behavior, no one can be certain that Earl would "act out" and shame his team mates. If he has earned the right to go....then he should!
 
I agree that Earl is still an amazing player, but the Mosconi Cup isn't just about how well you play. Being a team event, the overall attitude of the team and moral contribute greatly to their success.

Earl may bring a good game, but his attitude sours the experience for the others. It's not fair to the other four (especially if a first timer like Dechaine gets in) to cheapen something they have worked for and earned by allowing Earl to show his ass.

Well said.
 
I'd vote for him.........matter of face where do you vote?

His record speaks for itself and so does his play this year IMOP.

Pearl fan forever, always have been always will be.

I have mixed emotions about Earl. He is obviously a huge talent, but his outbursts are much to be desired. He kind of went off on this old guy sitting close to the table recently at a tourney and no one on the rail had any idea what happened. If I was that guy I would tell him to shove it where the sun don't shine. If he isn't doing well, it seems he has to "blame" it on someone or something. I actually kinda feel sorry for the guy. I hope he isn't as miserable in his life as he seems to be around the pool table at times. Life is too short.
 
I not only would vote for him, I would want him to take his muffs, weights, and all his gizmos along. :grin:

Its all about representing your country,personal accomplishments don't out weigh the fact that you represent the United States Of America,earl cant be trusted with that responsibility.
 
The top 5 players on the points list should go...no matter who it is. Johnnyt

Johnny t has it rite,if u earn the rite to go then u go,isnt that the reason they have this scoring system after all?i no a lot of people talk about earls past problems,but if somebody wanted to they could probably dig up alot of dirt on other players as well,i say if earl earns a spot then he is in!

Here's a point that no one ever mentions:

Rodney Morris and Dennis Hatch both have more checkered pasts than Earl, but they're always in the top picks for the Mosconi Cup team.

I don't know why people act like one's past behavior should gain or lose them a spot on the team.

If Earl is playing well enough to be chosen, then he deserves the spot....as should Rodney or Dennis. Their recent performance on the pool table should be the only qualifier for entry.
