Is it going to be on ESPN 3 today?

I was following up on PT's post and if Jay were to pick a team to prepare by sponsoring and all I was curious who they would be.

I like that team. Perhaps Varner gets in there too somewhere?

Who would you pick Jay?

http://articles.latimes.com/1996-08-05/news/ls-31557_1_athletic-performances When you consider the number of eyes on him and letting their presence known at the Cup it's easy to see the difference between that environment and an environment he is more comfortable in such as Derby or US Open or...

Do you know the number one factor too look to exploit if you want to get into somebody's head? Especially in a game like pool! I'll give you a hint. "When you look in the mirror, observe the frame."

Another element that makes this a fun match to watch, besides the fact of their rivalry, is that both want to prove that they have what it takes to perform in the Cup. It will be a fun match to watch for sure.

Awesome post!

And Europe isn't stalling.

That's a worse comment than the exhibition one you made fun of.

In an event like this emotion is important. Relaxed confidence is tough to fade. The Euros know this but notice how a little life was taken out of Shaw and Alvin when playing Rodney and Sky. Rodney just wasn't quite relaxed enough.

He also showed life but he plays for Europe so what's your point?

Sky don't have any give up and he shows some life even if he makes a mistake. No going back to his seat and slouching for him. The Euros have fed off of team USA's lifeless attitude and our two who have shown life have had our success.

I think most prefer Karaoke night to the Philharmonic!

Everything you mentioned is why it's the best event of the year.
