u kinda long winded (that is coming from a long distance runner) Not sure their brand of snake oil? I could be mistaken about the cancel culture - I just know that attempting to steal American Sports History Records is an attempt at 'cancelling out' American Sports History Culture from one of the greatest Pocket billiard Players my eyes have ever seen. The main opinion of value here is mine, what I mean is - I choose to ask to see unedited footage with my own eyes (if it even exist) - when I see the unedited footage - I will give j.s his due accolades - till then he can keep selling his snake oil highlight reel 626 show. They are Claiming Mosconi's true 526 has been surpassed, yer right at least about one thing - I really am not involved in pool, I am involved in Billiards - this includes Pocket Billiards. As far as Willie Mosconi's 526 - don't try to put the fix' on it - it ain't broke - nor has it been broken.So we have established that only some people's opinions are of value to you. Pretty sure John isn't too concerned about yours either.
Again, when something is of value to you then you ought to be willing to pay for it. Dear John, how much will it cost me to see the full unedited video of your run? That's what you should go with.
Oh really? Then by that logic mosconis record is not of value to you. You are accusing John and everyone who claims to have seen the run of fraud yet you accept that some people in 1958 swear they saw mosconi run 526 balls.
How much are you willing to pay for the product of John's work? Honestly I don't think you would gladly give John anything other than insults but that's just my opinion.
Is that some way of claiming you're honest? I hope you are but whether you are or not is not relevant to John's record.
No? Seems that the bca is good with it. Is there another governing body in america more suited to verify such an accomplishment?
I have no business with John or anyone involved in his project. I just don't think that you have standing here. It's not like you are harmed by the record being broken. You could easily eclipse him though if you were to go run more balls. What are the odds of that happening?
Um, you're welcome???
Sheep? Cancel culture? Find pain?
Is this some kind of clever wordplay attempt? If so its Tom in my opinion.
Show me only applies if one cares whether you agree or not. If your opinion means nothing then no obligation exists to satisfy your desire.
Erase history? How, is mosconi's record going to be wiped from the world's archives somehow?
I don't think you understand the term cancel culture or how it doesn't apply here.
I told you that one option open to you is to attempt to sue for viewing privileges. Nothing is preventing that except maybe funds and an attorney willing to attach his name to such a suit.
I would bet high that you have not been contacted by anyone's lawyer regarding your desire to see the video. Keep defaming people and you might though.
Again you are not using these terms in the right context. No one is trying to cancel you Danny. You are free to express your desires, your jealousies, your hatred, and any defamatory accusations that you want to. Has anyone deleted your content here in this subject? Have you lost any opportunity to play because of your words here? Has anyone stated that they wish you were barred from pool?
I haven't seen it but honestly I wouldn't be surprised if some of the readers here wouldn't be happy to know you were no longer involved in pool. That's their right just as it is your right to express your opinion.
Ooh what kind of snake oil? Js high run gloves?
Well I would say that the odds of you getting to see it based on your actions are very slim indeed.
The odds of me playing you anything anywhere are less than that.
Now if you change your approach, say offering Schmidt enough financial incentive or offering me ridiculous weight that I can't refuse then the odds likely improve dramatically that either event can happen.
Obvoiusly I cannot speak for John Schmidt but for myself I will take 18-4 which is about the same as pro players offer to players my speed for big amounts and consider it for a large amount. I am not nearly as wealthy as some of the poker players but I could probably find $20,000 in my couch cushions to play you getting that weight.
I want to be clear Danny that I have an immense amount of respect for your playing ability. I don't know that 18-4 is enough for it to be a fair game between us but I can't bring myself to ask that I go to even less and still play pool.
I don't really care whether you or anyone else gets to see John's run unedited. For a match between us however I am perfectly fine with a live stream open to everyone for free.
If that is something you want to do we can start the planning now.
I am not accusing anyone of fraud, Mosconi's record does have value to me - due to the fact that the video technology was not available in his day - as it is today. Theuy should have made the claim that j.s. ran 626 - without video footage, then it would be just a fish story - open for debate. To CLAIM there is a run of 626 - without a skid or miss - caught on camera - then two years later - no unedited footage available for public to view = CLAIM/ busyness' Failure. If u really think that myself and many others are in the wrong - to ask to see unedited evidence of the CLAIM - yer Wrong. As Lou stated so eloquently 'extraordinary claims - require extraordinary evidence'. I don't know u j.b cases - if u really think there needs to be some sort of auction for the first copy of the unedited 626 - yer just dodging the truth - very shameful j.b cases. As far as u and myself playing One Pocket, I will offer u a ball since yer asking for a spot. But yea it's prevalent that the people in charge of promoting the 626 highlight reel are asking for a spot too, they do need another spot.
