Interesting first game

Interesting first game

Yep, we saw Capito cheat and fail to win.

 

[jay helfert]

Hopefully they mention the 100K on top. 50K for 2nd. That means something.

BOOOO

 

[DieselPete]

Alright, I'll say it.

Joe Rogan isn't horrible.

 

[SA96]

Another messy rack.

FSR is just as bad as Capito.

 

[MattPoland]

He gave that last one to start game 3 a pretty good whack. I wonder if that’s a choice for when the 2 is in the wing spot on the side away from him.

 

[jay helfert]

Much better break

 

[jay helfert]

Joe doing good

 

[dhansen]

I hope Joe tells us how difficult it is again.

 

[DieselPete]

I hope Joe tells us how difficult it is again.

Honestly, the only thing that I like about that is if there are any casuals watching, I do want them to know that it is much harder than the pros make it look, particularly on a table like this.

But yes, he shouldn't dwell on that or oversell it.

 

[Lowell]

Rogan is adding absolutely nothing to the commentary IMO.

For instance, why does he think anyone cares about his opinion of the cut break, he has never played pool at a pro level.

 

[GideonF]

Some pool players are just weird. You’ve got pool live on a major sports network and you have the most popular podcaster in the world who loves the game and is very knowledgeable doing commentary with JJ and Karl and people still bitch.

 

[SA96]

Come on FSR!

Don't let the soft breaking cheat win

He's fckn Joe Rogan! His presence alone adds credibility to our sport.

Yes, I'd prefer Scott but this is not a negative imo.

 

[MattPoland]

A boon is a boon. They could have George Clooney in the booth and it would be an asset

 

[middleofnowhere]

I'm glad he's taking a break, he's running around the table. When he's sitting in a chair you can see his chest going up and down like he's having a stroke.

When he's at the table I have to check and make sure my video speed isn't set to x2.

I hope the ESPN analytics are to the moon! This is wonderful! Great production values and how long has it been since this kind of exposure?

 

[Lowell]

He's fckn Joe Rogan! His presence alone adds credibility to our sport.

Yes, I'd prefer Scott but this is not a negative imo.

I appreciate his love of the game but that doesn't mean it's appropriate for him to commentating throughout the duration of the match.

Especially given that he's a polarizing figure
