Since the upcoming frost Reyes match has already been brought up I'll say this, I bet that Scott figured this was the time to make a huge game with efren because he's close to retiring from the cut throat high stakes world of pool, in my opinion of course, but when he finally does I'm sure we ll still see Efren around big events but his competitiveness will most likely decline therefore when he decides to step down from competing at the highest level he obviously won't be playing anymore 3day grind fests for 50k. Again I'm assuming Scott thought he was a genius for jumping on a giant that's stepping away from the game, however with the most recent one pocket showings we've seen from efren I'd say Scott probably is regretting making this match.
Frost pissed off the Lion, discussing pool etiquette
- Thread starter ZeroSkylineX
- Start date
From just this video, it sounds like Scott was talking (perhaps *****ing) while Alex was shooting, although none of that is on the clip.
Scott then complains that Alex had said something after Scott came back from a break like "you'd be in trouble if I knew how to play this game", which could sound self-deprecating to some but Scott obvious took another way (i.e., Alex suggesting he is much better than Scott but Scott is only competitive because he knows more). Scott suggests he lost three games because of that. Alex seems to say that whatever he (Alex) said it wasn't while Scott was shooting.
Everytime i have seen Frost, hes always complaining. If i didnt know better, id think he was related to Earl. Earl is at least entertaining while he complains. Frost is just a whiner.
Does a lion roar?
I don't know either of them from Adam. World Class players both. With that being said, I've never heard about Alex being much of a tough guy, whiner, mover and the like. Yet some of the very best players in AZ have told me it is common behavior for Scott. For some reason, I don't doubt that.
If I said Scott Frost won, I'd be Lion.
That's insane 5 day match
Nice payout for the winner, that's half of really good yrs pay for me Geez
That was as grueling to watch as playing for 5 days must feel I imagine
I heard that Alex was holed up at the Riviera. That must be where...wait for it...the lion sleeps tonight. :smile:
pt109 would be proud.
.
Now Frost has his match with Efren Reyes next month in July with the same pot amount but win by 2 instead of 8 with Alex. I wonder if he's gonna say Efren got lucky too LOL.
Scott has made it very clear that he is ready to play anybody on the planet other than Alex for the cash.
Efren is the only guy that stepped up to play Scott in a big money match and wow what a match this should be epic.

Funny you mention this as I'm watching the NFL top 10 revenge games and one of the first thing they mention it's great for the sport when opponents don't like each other ,,
It's great theater and surely would bring in even more viewrs if they played again in fact
I would use Scott flipping Alex the finger as my promotion pic

Alex and Scott are both playing in the Big Dogs One Pocket event in two weeks good chance we might get a chance to see them play each other in that.

I just don't get it though. I didn't get to meet Alex in new Orleans a couple weeks ago but I seen scott. He's an ass just like earl. I understand that being one of the best in the world is a big weight on your shoulders but why the attitude? I didn't even want to talk to Scott because I know how he is and I'm not one to take any lip from a smart ass. I've always heard good things about Alex and how he carries himself on and away from the table.

First off: let me take back what I said about Frost not being "classy."
(Note the word is in quotes, so I don't necessarily mean the actual word of classy.
The way to find out about a person is to watch him/her under stress.
When I watch Frost barking back and forth with Alex,
I notice Frost maintains his composure.
Doesn't get overly upset.
He actually seems to show a semblance of diffusing the situation.
Frost is not stupid.
He is telling Alex how it is and keeping it real.
To me, Alex is losing his cool by raising his voice and swearing. Bad form.
I can't imagine this is the first time this has happened with him.
He is an emotional player. You can see the emotion coming out of him.
Frost is absolutely correct in what he is telling Alex. Grow up Alex!
Frost has earned a little respect from me after watching this video.
Forget the game: Frost has already beat Alex here on the ethical issue.

You're spot on, my man. Im all about a class act. Speaks volumes about your character. Alex is loaded. Scott should ask Alex for lessons. Scott reminds me of the typical pool room scumbag that nobody likes but tolerates just to keep his mouth at bay and level ambience. I barely go to pool rooms anymore because of DBs like that. But, you really cant go anywhere without seeing a few of these types.
