Let's be fair, Just because you like to have a beer and shoot some pool doesn't mean you "have to have alcohol" wherever you go. But yes, for those truly addicted, and can't function without it, it is sad.

too soon

You got action, sir! undefeated at Graceland!:ROFLMAO: The room has been centered around billiards since 1960, when Elvis first placed the table (three years after he bought the mansion). His favorite games were 8-ball and rotation, and he developed a reputation for repositioning the cue ball...

And Billy Thorpe is not the norm in the U.S. So double standards? Golf biggest star, by far, publicly cheated in his wife, sought treatment for sex addictio, then got high on pain pills and wrecked his car. Arguably Golf's second biggest star has admitted to losing MILLIONS ON GAMBLING. The...

This is the silliest post I've seem in a while.. and I read justnum's... The Euro's taking it over and making it respectable. Give me a break. Ever seen a premiere league soccer match? Did you happen to see Darren Appleton pitch a hissing fit and get banned/kicked out of a big tournament? Ever...

Well seeing as how you took the trouble to start a teaser thread, why not go ahead and tell the story the eyewitness told you? Ain't nothing else exciting happening around here...

Do you know how much pro's make from their national federation? Is that guaranteed money? I imagine whatever it is, those players would like to keep it. I still don't see anyone outside of the top 10 living large just because MR came along. It's obvious you hate WPA, but blindly and joyously...

Maybe not...

Even if it excludes those that will remain loyal to their WPA organization? Imagine if Filler, Ouschan, the Polish players, were to side with WPA because they receive funding from their government (Just using them as a hypothetical). Would MR really consider it a win if we never saw those guys...

I am coming at this from a position of ignorance, as I know no inside information and know very little about the history of pro pool. Having said that, the above bolded does not seem like it takes the players best interest in mind either. I mean, if both organizations are going to stand their...

Congrats to players on both teams! How awesome it will be one day to be able to show your kids/grandkids this event.

Hmmm. All I was illustrating is that when the US views a sport as an actual sport, they will pour resources into it. It was never meant as a dig on germany. It is does lead one to question why you spend so much energy defending Germany. I was under the impression that you were an American. My...

Excellence for the sake of excellence is a noble pursuit...one I try to drive home to my kids all the time. I believe it all comes down to: is pool actually viewed as a sport in the US? I don't know of any country that takes such a wide range of sports as seriously as the US does. One only has...

Matt Yuhas Super nice guy. Quit playing for years, but now starting to get back into it...

Thanks for the insider info. Very cool. It would be interesting to compare number of units sold per year between the major manufacturers. I imagine McD and Meucci would be near the top due to longevity in the business. I imagine predator would be there due to marketing and slapping that cat...

Shoot, in my area, there are more FR 400 players with Revo's and BK Rush's than any other cue...with Meucci a close second. Can't run 2 balls, but they got the latest and greatest shaft, screw in extension for 7 ft. table, kamui tip, carrying TAOM chalk, and their Molinari glove, their Hustlin'...

Does anyone know why Mcdermott doesn't sponsor pros? Or if they do, they don't get a lot of publicity from it. It seems like they do pretty good volume. Even a smaller shop like Pechauer have a whole page on their website of sponsored players, but no really high profile pros. Just curious as...

The thug that broke Eddie's thumbs always resembled Ned beatty to me...

Is there such a thing? If not, what events should be included? Would it be 8,9,10 ball world championship? Surely the US open should be in there? Derby City MOT? What 4 events would you include? Or would you need more...

Congrats SVB! You could tell in the post match interview that he was truly thrilled to win this title. I think he realizes just how difficult it is becoming with the current line up of pros... As for the event, it was very entertaining to me. I can't understand how a forum full of fans...
