I believe, I know what you mean. Have you ever seen the movie "The Greatest Game Ever Played"? It is a golf movie but there are several scenes where it shows Harry Vardon "center himself and then quite his mind". I'm assuming that is what you are referring to.

I will check it out
Never saw the movie and I'm not a big fan of golf, but maybe I will check it out someday.

I'm not a golf fan either but I liked the movie. It has a lot of the scenes that relate to pool. I think you would enjoy it.
Danny you are a superb player. PLEASE NO DISRESPECT, but why do you over analyze everything and turn it into a negative? Is it because of "heightened sense of awareness"?
Please, I mean no disrespect, but the incident you saw with Andy and Sammy... was what you "saw". Your brain made you think otherwise in a negative way! I don't know you, you don't know me, all I know is you shoot damn F*ing straight and you have a God given talent. And I seriously mean that.
I know from personal experience myself, which by the way, I am by no means perfect, I always try to take a negative experience and somehow turn it into a positive no matter how hard it is! None the less... keep shootin them straight as hell!
No disrespect either
I just am telling it how I saw it go down, I am not looking for attention nor do I overanaylize everything (that is a generaliztion from your end.) I have gotten bad vibes from Sammy in the past and she has let me know that she does not like me in her way. If I were not 99% sure of my assesment of this particular situation then I would have not made the post. It's possible that I could be wrong but not probable, no I don't think everyone is out to get me either despite how it may appear. All I can tell you is this one is a hanger Big Albert as sometimes there are genuine computer glitches and I understand - this is not one of those cases. Sammy and I have had some past differences, JR Calvert told me that he thought I was probably right on this one(sorry JR I tell it like it is.) Again as I was warming up I could feel the vibe as Sammy was having a serious talk with Andy Chen. It was after she left that Andy slammed the laptop down in an abrupt manner and gave me a cold look and decided to take his lunch break. Thank you for your compliments on my straight shooting, I am telling u the truth about this particular incident whether you want to believe me or think I am some nut-job is for u to decide - but the people do have a right to know and yes not all conspiracies theories are of a bogus nature.
Sammy Diepp has expressed to me before on how she does not really like me, she made a post on here about how we should bury the hatchet. But it looks like she is the kind that likes to work behind the scenes, I hope she gets over her fear. Despite her negativity the situation did turn into a positive for me as I was concerned about the recording and who might be able to make $ off the sales of the recording. Once Andy said he would not be recording the run I was relieved, I do admit to being a bit paraionoid but I can assure u Big Albert in this case there is justification for my opinion regaurding Sammy Diepp. This is a small part of what is wrong with our game, people spend too much time focusing there energy on neg. instead of looking for sponsors and it's a shame cause she has had many good instructional articles, promoting the game in a healthy way. It's too bad cause some of these individuals are intelligent but they want to show you how smart they are (hence all of her instructional articles on pool.) I believe she could be more productive if she were to utilize her talents in finding sponsors to help promote the game which I realize is very difficult to do, the easy way out of course is to talk trash on others who have a tarnished reputation. I heard she got married and is having a baby maybe that will help her not feel so insecure about other people around her in the pool world - I for one hope so. The fellow she married is Mark Vidal who is a gentleman as well as a fine player, I wish them the best. There is no way to prove that this happend and so it is pointless to continue the debate -but it did happen.

Danny, I only have three words for you: GET OVER IT
I've been very patient with you and your nasty comments and allegations over the years and tried to stay as far away from you as possible at events but you are clearly a paranoid, self-righteous megalomaniac if you believe I (and others) have nothing better to do with our time than to conspire on ways to ruin your life somehow. Is it really always all about YOU?
I've made numerous attempts to publicly resolve whatever "conflict" we have and attempted to handle it professionally but you repeatedly insist on believing that I'm out to get you so clearly nothing I do or say really matters.
This is the last response you'll get from me in response to your slander. It's just not worth the energy.
Take care

Ok Sammy
Ok Sammy, I apolagize for my comments and I do hope I am wrong on this. I guess sometimes I am just out to lunch with a technical difficulty. Either way I won't apolagize if my presence there on the west coast offended you. Believe it or not it's not all about me - and I hope you get over it also. Fame is an empty purse - count it and your broke, eat it and your hungry, seek it and go mad. I hope that's instructional enough for you Mrs. Diepp.

Note to self: "Pool is played by folks from all walks of life. Even those that are in the wrong and have been for quite some time, but still think they're somehow a source of moral knowledge or being 'instructional' to people that clearly either don't need it or are well advanced past it."
Need to write that on a blackboard a couple hundred times, because it never ceases to amaze me.

It's also like JAM says in that "pool is a rich man's high." This is beginning to make more sense farther along I go. Sammy says that she has tried to stay as far away as possible from me, if this is the case then why did she need to watch me practice 5 feet away while visiting with her friend Andy Chen - inside the players arena. Again I would not have smelled such a pungent aroma of a rat if andy's demeanor had not changed so much (slamming the laptop down) after Sammy's corner advice (he was not cut into untill sammy started bustin' her chops about me.) The only people who should be allowed in the roped off area where the 14.1 challenge is are the players - not the wordly' negative journalists. Unfortunatley sometimes these individuals focus their energy on promoting a message of fear instead of getting into the game, I think she and some others would be wise to write on the chalkboard 500 times "get over your fear." Your included Sean. Ohh by the way Sean I realize u were one of the soldiers fighting over in Iraq, I would say thank you for the service to our Country but that war like many others is a joke that aint funny. I can see by your coat your from the other side. If I were u Sean i would right the word Peace on a chalk board 10,000 times and eventually something might give.

You've heard the saying, "Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get me."
I just wonder if there has been an explanation given as to what Danny witnessed. If there were truly no hard feelings and it was merely a misunderstanding then it would be no big deal to explain what was up with the laptop and so on.
Of course none of this is any of my business, so I'll probably regret saying anything.

I will let it be
The bottom line here is I still believe Sammy's conversation with Andy did indeed have an impact on the missing segment of the first part of the 199 in Las Vegas last year. Having that been said there is no way I can prove it, this did not cost me any money and so I think it's better to just leave this one alone. I am not one who spits word's just to see where they will land and I will back up what I write or say. This is just my honest evaluation of what I saw and this one is what I call a no-brainer - but again lets just let it be and hopefully she will as she likes to say "get over it." Thanks you to everyone who has supported this beautiful game and yes I have at times been one of the ugly people off the table, hopefully Sammy will not continue to cast stones in my direction - unless she herself has gone through life without ever commiting a sin.
