I believe as we age our reflexes, sighting and stamina erode. So is Shane on the downside of his career? Maybe and maybe not. I watched with great interest George Foreman recapturing the Heavyweight Boxing Championship at 45 yrs of age. In his interviews after his career was over, he spoke at...

This is good news for the sport. Getting two of the best to face off, being able to pick sides on who wins and why, youth against age (so to speak) and predictions about the future of the game is what will fun to watch. I can't wait.

The Biography of the “ Unsinkable Titanic” is a great read that you cannot put down. I read it about 30 years ago and then lost the book and couldn’t find it. So many stories about his travails but much of it does not get into his demons and from what I’ve heard he had plenty. For all the money...

Jay, we go back a long ways AND I'd like to keep seeing you, so pay attention to your doctors orders and get better.

I'll bet ESPNs viewing of the Mosconi Cup will be on tape delay during the Stupid Bowl. Pardon me, Super Bowl. That'll give it a real shot to be appreciated by the viewers.

Going to school so you can learn a profession can only help your future life. Money for Women’s Pool hasn’t happened just yet but it will in the years to come. She’ll be able to pick her game back up when it happens with the advantage of having a profession to come back too.

John Horsfal was a sporty player from Canada. He won a Sands Regency event I believe thirty years ago then wosh...............never heard about him again. He was not an action player but very good tournament player.

Finally, getting pool back on TV................

Each generational level of cue sports has had the best ever component to it. Hopkins is no exception. In his time he was "The Best." That's until I saw Efren play the game in the 90's, 2000's and until about 2010. I thought no one could play the game any better and then comes Alex. Now maybe...

I think the 80's belong to Hopkins. RA was done, Efren became the MAN in the 90's and forward. Grady, Joyner and Cornbread did not have his firepower running balls. Certainly Varner could compete at a very high level but Hopkins IMO reigned supreme back then.

As a side question dr Dave, why is it easier to kick two rails to a specific location vs kicking one rail to the same location. In other words it seems speed control is easier kicking two vs one.

I remember when Bob Ley basically was the only sportscaster on ESPN back in its pre-ABC owned days. Now Ley is gone and all we have is SAS and Scott doing the show. The rest of it is MLB, NFL and some other sports. It would cost them time and some money to put on a Pool related event like the US...

There’s never been a top pool player who didn’t think they could play poker. Poker took over for betting horses in keeping pool players broke.

I think that tournaments should be top heavy with the prize pool. I don't pretend to know the structure as such but with a 128 sized field, it seems that the top 64 should some financial incentive to attend, like some expense monies to help with airfare, hotel and meals. This will keep them...

Fargo ratings for OP would be hard to calculate. For example Lunda, Compton, Hall and Chohan are accomplished players in rotation games but not at the levels of the top tier like Filler, Gorst, Yapp and SVB to name a few. Lunda and company just don’t possess the skills to win a Major rotation...
