Thank you for correcting me. Sounds like he should have seen it then. Maybe he is just not as familiar with shots like this in pool. Or he blinked.

I've often said there are only a handful of really good pool referees in the game. I worked with two of them. Michaela Tabb and Nigel Rees.

Pretty much correct on all counts here. Our man Stu has been saying basically the same thing for years but nobodies paying attention.

If it's me I'm hovering right over the balls so I can see the hit clearly. Yes, I would be in the players line of sight, but I would be standing still. The players have never had a problem with where I stand. They know what's going on. Standing behind the player here is a big no no.

I'm sure they are coached to express themselves as much as possible to fire up the arena audience and make it more exciting for the TV and online fans. A lot of those "entertainers" wearing outrageous costumes and dancing around between games are probably hired by Matchroom to do just that. Some...

Okay, it's over and I can get some rest. The final score looks just like the scores we've been seeing for years now. So nothing new there. The US had their chances on Days One and Two to tie the score or escape only one down after two days, but they failed in the clutch moments. They had one...

Gabby needed weight from Greg Stevens when both were at their best. Maybe after being up for two to three days Stevens was vulnerable to a player like Gabby. P.S. I played Gabby once in my poolroom in Bakersfield. I played good, he played better, beating me for a couple hundred at 20 a game...

Three matches.

The fact that after a couple of years now, the commentators still have to tell the viewing audience which ball is the four and five. The correct ball colors have long been ingrained into our consciousness and do not need any interpretation. This may have been the single biggest insult to...

Looks like I have to eat my words from yesterday. Team USA did win the opening team match, but it all went downhill from there. My overall take on Day 3 is as follows. Once again I love the team match to open each day, although tomorrow I think there's still a singles match left over from today...

There's a There's a hundred other networks other than ESPN that could get an audience for the Mosconi Cup, if only they showed it and publicized it being shown. Get people to tune in once and they'll keep watching.

Here's my take on Day Two - First of all, you just can't jam balls in these pockets. They will reject them just like a tight Diamond. You've got to smooth stroke balls and caress them in there. Some players do that better than others. Now, on to the festivities. Number one, Matchroom's got it...

With all due respect, Charlie was a U.S. citizen when he played on Team USA. Fedor was and still is not yet a U.S. citizen. He is a Green Card holder.

Man, those pockets look snug. They are slowly snookerizing our game of pool. First the ball colors (snooker!) and now the pockets. Pretty much the whole production is a Euro crew as well.

My radar is always up walking around downtown. I duck the crazies pretty good and can deal with the others. Even at my age people tend to leave me alone. I think it's my vibe. lol

A lot to digest here. For all intents and purposes it looked like another beatdown was coming from Team Europe. And then......Captain Woodward stepped up and led Team USA out of the darkness with a heroic match when they needed it most. He almost blew it with all that showboating prior to...

I'm here in the Philippines now and ready to watch on SkySports, but it appears that they have limited the coverage this year to a one and half hour highlight show, not a live broadcast. I guess low ratings have had an effect on this event's television coverage.

True that and the mob guys loved the pool players. They were there every night at the Stardust.

They're all Take Off joints today as far as I'm concerned. I bet with my wallet and they don't get my action. Downtown is still the best deal in Vegas. I've had enjoyable stays at the El Cortez at decent prices (65-75/night and no parking or resort fee). Their coffee shop serves jam up food too...

You and the Rude Dog were quite the twosome around L.A. for a few years. I never knew quite what to make of you, but you guys kept getting the dough! I'm results oriented so I noticed that above all the other stuff going on around you.
