I'll chop 'em up!
- Thread starter JAM
- Start date
He is a quality act and guaranteed entertainment..
I watched both the semi and final of the Steinway all the way through... As good as top class "run after run after run" pool is to watch for a while, it's hard to watch for ours. Earl was the entertainment that kept me in my seat for near on 4 hours...
Being the 20th Anniversary, I can't see how you'd field a U.S. team WITHOUT Earl. He's been a central figure in the Cup over the years...plus, he's playing his best pool in years now. I don't think BH could avoid having him on the team with all the symbolism; plus, the Europeans love to see him play (or melt down). I'm sure they're waiting for the U.S. Open to complete before they formally announce him, in case there's some dramatic turn. (He may well win it, anyway!)
Having watched films like the gangs of new york and Rocky IV, us brits thought all you Americans wore stuff like this all the time..
No...It was the English that wore Red Coats walking through the green woods & fields.:wink:
I hope we have a great Cup with great close matches and...
a certain referee wears a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader type uniform & is escorted into the 'ring' by her husband.
Best Wishes,
Rick
PS Jam if you want to make a million or more bucks develop a way to change the focus range on photos.
Earl is also short tempered and uncouth. He told an entire city they suck at one of the previous Mosconi Cups. That is also very tame compared to some things he says at the table.
Earl does play very well and was one of the best pool players ever, I just don't want him representing my country. Fortunately only Pool Players watch pool and they know that not all of our players are like that.
Earl would easily be one of my favorite players to watch, now I just find it hard to watch him play because most of his matches have him doing something embarassing. Ive seen him play a few times in person of course and I made sure to sit far away from the front row.

Man, why did you have to bring her husband into the image and ruin it?!
I guess because I have been happily married for 32 years & respect what ever one wants to call that type of union.
Admiration is fine. Lustful coveting should be discouraged. I think it would actually be nice if her husband would escort his wife into the ring & give her a little kiss. I think there would be cheers & applause along with some whistles & cat calls.
But...the cheerleader type uniform would increase the entertainment value, at least for a certain portion of the spectators. There's so much time between shots even when Earl is shooting.
Best,
Rick
PS I keep saying I'm going to get my wife a pair of white gloves & have not done it yet. Maybe during the Cup.:wink:

I like the way jam is showing her patriotic heart atm.
Atm (in my personal opinion) team usa will show up with the strongest team since years. I hope that earl will be selected. Even if this means that thus would make it much tougher for team europe.
With earl you would have 5 guys with so much heart.......
I would love it.

Stay in Queens Earl,,,,!!!
Earl complains that no one respects pool and pool players yet last week up at the Turning Stone he refused to show Karen Corr any respect during their match,,
He kept refering to her as ''This Girl This and This Girl That'',,,,and the ''F'' Bobs flew freely when she would check the rack,,,,''What does this girl think,,,,I'm a ''F''ing thief,,,,I'm gonna cheat this ''F''ing girl,,,,,,??
The total opposite of Earl is Rondney Morris,,,,,Class all the way,!!!

Earl does have a thing about playing against ladies, always has. :embarrassed2:
That said, he won't have to worry about it in Vegas at the Cup. There won't be any lady team members. :smile:
My biggest concern about Vegas is the locale. I really hope Team USA stays together in unison and practices. I fear the distractions in Vegas that lures some pro players to stay in their rooms sometimes and not with their fellow team mates. With Earl, the Vegas distractions aren't a problem. With the others, I'm not so sure.
Jam,
That's a good point. I wish it were a real title, like the Rider Cup, & not just an entertainment vehicle.
Maybe then we would see more real heart & heads.
Best,
Rick
PS Maybe the Team should make a trip there a couple of weeks early to get any partying out of the works so they be totally serious when it counts.
Earl on Mosconi
Earl could spot most of the members of the team and take it down. Maybe he will just show up and ask if anybody wants to matchup for the cash! US pool is a very political animal, you are either in or out. ABP makes sure of that. Playing ability is obviously secondary these days. If you haven't noticed Hatch's game is slipping the past couple years and Earl is re-inventing how the game is played.
