Phillip was a strong player in the 70's. He went to prison in California I think, When I saw him again, although he still played good, he wasn't anywhere near his top game. I think you are referring to Ralph Braswell, and yes I knew him. He had a poolroom in Beaumont called The Corner Pocket, it...

Cannonball was Johnny Chapman. The last guy you mentioned in your original post is Phillip Hyde. He was from Groves, Texas, he told me he did live and play in Houston for a few years. Once upon a time he was a very good player. I'm from Beaumont, and went to several poolrooms in Houston, in the...

Jimmy King was playing a friend of mine named Pat Fox in Lake Charles many years ago. Pat beat him, and after awhile looked at the board and Jimmy had turned himself in as the winner. Leonard Bloodworth was running the tournament and wouldn't do anything about it.

Thank you.

Does anyone know how to contact them? Tried 866-843-3294. Thanks.

Live score feature isn't working for me. All show 0-0. Good Luck Tommy Sanders!!

Really, Jay, who is living in the past, or dwelling on it? That would be the woke liberals who think they can rewrite history by obliterating it.

Dangerous bullshit......lol...... by whose definition, yours? It's called free speech.

Yes, Mac makes these big bets to hedge his business gimmicks, like your furniture is free if one side that he names, wins.

You really don't get it. You can't change history. Those who don't remember (and learn) from history are condemned to repeat it. Jay is very right about his question Why all the outrage after all of these years? Because it is being generated to cause division. Certain people want to benefit...

I'm glad that, at the end of your post, you found something I was right about.🙂 I haven't seen Queen's Gambit. But to your point about these movies showing the seedy side of pool, take The Hustler, it contained that part of pool because it was real, the truth, but of course, that was not what...

Ok, then I will include the word hustling, which again was very much a part of both previous movies I talked about. And again, both did well, and both gave a big boost to public interest in the game of pool. The hustling did nothing to decrease that boost, in fact probably helped it. No one is...

For as long as I have read your posts, you have always put down gambling in pool. That's fine, you certainly are entitled to your opinion. But both The Hustler and Color of Money had A LOT of gambling in them. Practically what they were about. And both of them gave pool a great boost. You could...

And it's just as funny when the crew, that is totally OK with the stream of illegals crossing the border, starts spouting off with "well those are the rules. He knew about them."

I agree. Said the same many years ago because of the short races. Some others on here contend that it is a valid test because of the number of said races.
