I may be the only one that got a kick out of this but I had to post in case you missed it Eric.

It really does work. I know it sounds goofy, "cherry juice," but the benefits of drinking it are endless. It helps with gout, insomnia, and joint pain. :)

On a Bonus Ball related note.......the fact that some people are surprised by this outcome completely boggles me. I understand blind optimism but I really question the faculties of those that were trumpeting the praises of this game as a savior of our beloved pastime. I was hoping that the players wouldn't look down and realize they were standing in a shitpile but I am afraid there are a few guys who will be shoe shopping pretty soon.

I feel bad for all those involved, and this includes Nathan. I know he has given it out and taken the heat, but at the end of the day, he's a member of the Tribal Nation of Pool, just like us. I admire his work and understand when you are passionate about something, you will fight tooth and nail for its survival, even at the expense of alienating those who may be in your corner.

I guess it may be premature to say Bonus Ball is gone. At this stage, the press release says "a few weeks." Whatever happens, I hope all those involved come out of this okay. Nobody wants to see anyone suffer. If Bonus Ball comes back with a new and improved plan, then I will be the first one to say that I wish them good luck. This time, though, I hope they seek counsel -- competent, seasoned, experienced counsel -- before moving forward. :)

Now wait a minute!

It is far too early in the game to start with Nathan's image rehabilitation. He needs to absorb a few more jabs and pot shots for the months of thumbing his nose at all of us and being the worst spokesmodel of all time (you could use him as a case study on how not to represent your organization).

He'll eventually crawl out from under the pig pile, just yet ;-)

So they put the brakes on this early? No way the construction delay burned almost a million bucks IMO. And if they still had $500k in the bank (or whatever) while seeing they were doomed down the road, wouldn't they have paid the players to better keep them on the hook?


I can't get the math to jive with the "this thing is so well funded" PR. Can anyone???

Sometimes we just can't believe everything that is thrown to us. I couldn't see how the "so called investors" were so "excited" and were "pleased" with the first results. As an investor, I would damn sure be certain that I would be 'taken care of" with lots of money pouring in as a result of my investment. I just guess we were fed alot of "Boloney."

You are average, because you can never talk about "the next big thing for pool you're working on" remember that?

or because you have the biggest scoop in the world, but to tell someone you need it to be a leap year with you in a patch of 4 leaf clovers, seeing a double rainbow, magnified off of Jay Helfert's head.

Knock your crap off.
 
Might be time to let this string die, wait patiently for more announcements, hope that the employees and players are going to be all right. I take no joy in others misfortunes.
 
I am gonna call BS on Scott Frost in the Bonus Ball announcment. I like Scott. I played him at Derby City some years ago. But to say that players only want to play that game? BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am pretty sure Scott would rather play 1 pocket. I am sure others would rather play games like 10 ball and straight pool. But that is just a paper quote to play up bonus ball. Sorry Scott, but I call BS.

Brian, Scott may really like Bonus Ball because it does have an element of one-pocket strategy to the game, which is his specialty. :wink:

Of course he would rather be playing BB...that would mean he would be making pool a legitimate career.

Now would he rather play BB than 1p, given the only difference was the game itself? I think it is a real maybe. something new to refresh his interest in pool...

I don't know for sure, but I do know for sure that I been with hundreds of women... maybe thousands. I... I just ain't never really ever made love to a woman. You know, I've done 3-ways, 4-ways, menage-a-tois, menage sept, menage seises... I've sixty-nined, eighty-nined... one hundred fourteened. Golden, diamond and platinum showers. I like that. I mean, I ripped shit up. Done all that... but I ain't never ever made love to a woman. :thumbup:

Vaguely remember this fella. Didn't he have something to do with it then explained that funds were inadequate? Then there was banter back and forth between him and...somebody...I forgot who?
 
sorry to hear the players are owed thousands each. There are alot of guys out there in vegas getting screwed over that I really like alot and respect their dedication for pool.

sad, but id be willing to bet the hot chicks bb was using were all paid in full to stand around looking like sorority gals at a quantum physics convention. Meanwhile a super nice guy like Tommy Kennedy is away from his family, playing his ass off in Vegas and getting stiffed in the end. brutal
 
Remember this stuff when it comes around again.

I barely know Tommy Kennedy - but he really is a decent person and does not deserve to treated like this.

I would like to know who did or didnt get paid.

I am betting I know some of the answer - but I would like to hear it from someone.

All of this just stinks.
