You see the theme here? This is what intrigues and captivates people about Pool and why Fats was so popular and Mosconi wasn't. Same could be said for The Hustler and The Color Of Money. I think the dark side of Pool interests people a lot more than guys in tuxes ever will. But that's just me. :wink:

Yes!!! In fact, Jack in the Box could provide them to CSI and become a corporate sponsor...seriously serious, here.

I agree with you, Jay.

"Fats" > More popular than Mosconi
"Color of Money" > More popular than "The Hustler"
"Dark Side" > more interesting than "tuxes"

People are intrigued and captivated by these more dynamic elements.
YET, in this country, we seem to be having a difficult time getting more players to cross over to the "Dark Side.".

Truly an interesting phenomenon.
