    The long decline of ESPN

    ESPN has declined for 3 major reasons, two of which you accurately pointed out already: 1. Reduction of on air talent and sports journalists 2. Rise of argumentative-based programming that feature loud-mouths like Stephen A Smith instead of guests that can provide intelligent analysis 3. Mass...

    Johnny Archer finally pays off Oscar Dominguez

    The internet can finally rest now that someone they don’t know got paid for something that happened like 10 years ago… phew, what a relief

    Why doesn't Aramith do a better job with proof of authenticity with their packaging?

    Amazon co-mingles inventory so people selling legit inventory and those selling fakes have their products stored in the same pile in the warehouse. So even if you buy a product from a legit seller on Amazon, you could still wind up with fake goods.

    Dynasphere becomes the official ball set for Matchroom WNT - Multi-year partnership

    It comes with 2 cueballs - 1 with the WNT logo and 1 without. They should ditch the WNT cueball in favor of the “bumblebee” 9ball and a normal 9ball that matches the other stripes. They did something similar back in their cyclops days when they released the 20-piece Ladin set that included 2...

    Dynaspheres and WNT Launch Major Partnership as the New Balls of the Tour

    Color debate aside, that cueball is garbage.

    Getting the Mosconi Cup Skinny from Captain Johan

    Johann seems like an actual professional so it’s not that surprising he’d be interviewed by someone like Panozzo who’s also a professional in his field. Molina Mike is just a guy with a microphone on Facebook. He doesn’t have anywhere near the credibility or qualifications of Panozzo.

    World Pool Championship to leave Saudi!

    I have a table in my basement, Matchroom could host it there. They held it in a basement in Qatar for the longest time, what’s the difference?

    Johan back at 2026 Mosconi Cup Healm

    The Mosconi Cup is such a farce.

    Are Pool League Members Allowed to Gamble Outside of League Play?

    I don’t gamble but until the BCA starts paying me to play instead of me paying them, they have no bearing on my life.

    World Top 200 Players by Fargo Rating (April2026)

    A 20 point increase would equate to a 20% improvement under the Fargo system where a 100 point difference equals twice as good. A 20% increase in skill seems borderline impossible for someone of Shane’s current skill level or age.

    PBS St Louis 2026 (Men’s World 8 Ball Championship, Mixed Doubles, Women’s Open, Bank Pool), 1-8 April, Half Million Prize Fund

    That would be a good one for Rollie Williams (formerly Your Average Pool Player on YouTube) to make his return to pool and see how many tries it takes him to replicate.

    PBS St Louis 2026 (Men’s World 8 Ball Championship, Mixed Doubles, Women’s Open, Bank Pool), 1-8 April, Half Million Prize Fund

    Interesting that Wiktor is shown with the AIN flag instead of the Polish one. You can’t even represent your country if you’re not a part of the federation?

    PBS St Louis 2026 (Men’s World 8 Ball Championship, Mixed Doubles, Women’s Open, Bank Pool), 1-8 April, Half Million Prize Fund

    The camera work in this event is quite poor. They seem to lack the understanding that seeing the ball go into the pocket is important, but in many cases it’s even more important to see where the cue ball is going afterwards. There have been numerous times where they just show a zoomed in view...

    WNT, WPA and 2026

    Panozzo’s point about the WNT feeling like a handful of events vs a true tour is spot on in my opinion. They need to do a better job of finding locations that fit for their format and then lock them in for longer, more consistent term. How can you expect players/fans to commit to something when...
