Well, you're in good company. Spock never seemed to catch on to the fact that humans aren't that rational either.I don't ever recall a player for whom so many refused to give credit for his incredible all-around skills. I really don't get it.

I think Karen completed nursing school and became a nurse. I'm not sure how much she plays anymore, maybe someone else knows.It's great to see the lady pros compete. Does anybody know what's going on with Karen Corr lately? I have not seen much of her on social media or in the news. Has she retired?

My official stance on this matter is that he is Canadian... Just as much Canadian as our olympic sprinters...lolThe best is Alex Pagulayan --- I can't even figure out if he's Filipino!
This is well said. I think there's much truth in the suggestion that Filler's amazingly straight shooting is so overwhelming that few give him credit for his keen defensive insights. By the age of 20, he was already using some of the advanced techniques in tactical play one typically only sees form the Filipinos. I remember how astonished I was when I fist saw it, for the last player that I saw that had that kind of tactical insight at such a young age was Alex Pagulayan, the best defensive player of the nine ball era not named Efren. Filler's high playing IQ gets overlooked far too often. Nobody in their right mind would suggest that Josh executes at a level of Alex, Efren, or Orcullo, but as he has already shown that he sees so much of what they see at such a young age, he has a chance to be one of the game's greatest tactical players if he tidies up his tactical execution a bit. We'll see if he gets there.hey stu, appreciate your POV on josh- I've seen him execute some excellent safeties (vs. shane in mosconi comes to mind),
but I admittedly never thought of him as elite in that dept.
two things come to mind as to why, one I'm sure of:
1. my own ignorance..I'm still very much a pool student.
2. shot-making generally seems to steal the headlines over heady play, and josh, of course, is a brilliant offensive player.
to use another tennis example (a sport I know better), roger federer is known best for his own shot-making abilities, his flashy play, his winners-
but what most gloss over is the fact that he too, is an elite defensive player, and in fact, it's often the great defense that allows fed to execute offensively.
I think it's similar in other sports. michael jordan was a great defender, but he's celebrated for dunking the ball, etc.
"scoring" just sells, and rightfully so. we generally have to put balls in pockets to win. but if we want to appreciate sport for all it's worth,
we have to pay attention to the process, not just the end result. if we want to know the book, we have to read the book.
Fast and Furious. Don't Blink.
1-1 We have a match
That's because the clock doesn't stop for cleaning, it's on the players time.Melling asks for the CB to be cleaned. So instead of asking for the clock to be stopped, the ref tries to do it as quickly as possible and ends up dropping the CB on the floor. Then he asks for the clock to be stopped and cleans the ball.
He then asks for the clock to be started before he's even out of the way. Fortunately it didn't really matter in the end, but still pretty funny.

Think he's going to crush it hereSVB has been streaming a lot of his practice sessions in preparation of the event. Time to see if it paid off.
