This raises a matter that is time-sensitive in the important interest of the AZB site owners (and a few other very concerned collectors) of compiling a continually building, vital collections of all documents and footage relating to the history of pool. It's significant that a descendant of one...

This is significant information that can't be ignored in a sensible discussion. Arnaldo

Plenty of excellent NY-style quasi-Kosher delis all over LA last time I was there. Born in NYC, I greatly miss the goodies in those. Edited to add: Many nights I would willingly trade a meal at the best four-star, pricey steakhouse a short drive from me, for any one of those LA deli's...

This may turn into a veritable worldwide race to keep exceeding whatever the contemporary 14.1 record is. Even the youngest AZBers among us are likely familiar with what has come to be called, the "Roger Bannister" effect. For many years track and field athletes, coaches, and fans were...

That distinctly sounds like either a hapless team-John person or more likely a troll wrote it as a put-on. It is ridiculously too effusive to have been typed out by any pro player, including John. Arnaldo

To both Bobby and Lou: A totally professionally staged and communicated-about event, so far. And going forward I'm certain. You both deserve all the pride, pleasure, and great satisfaction you've earned via your and team-Bobby's hard work and thorough attention to all the myriad details...

Getting plenty of excited coverage so far, and so early: https://www.ivoox.com/mr-714-what-an-incredible-feat-by-jayson-audios-mp3_rf_81034394_1.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jayson_Shaw https://www.facebook.com/JazzBilliards/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/721040208247451...

Not to mention the equally meaning connection with Officer Friday -- we've got the (indisputable) facts Mam/Man!!! Analdo

Ruslan and Filler are now getting both arms fully tattooed as we speak (just for insurance). Arnaldo

There is a whole world of professional marketers out there nationwide, specializing in sports. Bobby and his team should right now be assiduously acquiring a "rolodex" of the ideal professional strategists to handle this. This is where Schmidt fell short. Don't have to make the same mistake --...

The relative depth or shallowness of the shelf also a factor in the pocket-forgiveness equation as well. That can vary a good amount between tables, especially cheaper or poorly designed ones (which thankfully wasn't the case with this startling, pleasureable-to-watch run). Arnaldo

BasementDweller said: "Monumental achievement for Shaw. Not such a great thing going forward for 14.1" That conclusion can be shown to be totally wrong if the achievement and Bobby's commendable framework that enabled it, is intelligently marketed. Even among the present pool of AZB regular...

He's apparently mellowed -- at least Jayson didn't (quite deservedly) say what he said to Earl as Earl was loudly ranting at him at that Steinway 14.1 event years back: "If I see you outside, I'll knock you out." Earl calmed down quick and shaken. The TD then stepped in. Arnaldo

I'm far more genteel and diplomatic now, but 40 years back I would unhesitatingly respond to flailing indignation from malcontents dissing a freebie: "See the Chaplain on your way out -- he's a very understanding fellow . . . he'll punch a notch in your TS (military for "Tough Sh-t") card and...

Einstein imagined and proved his ideas about the nature of space and time for reasons that had nothing to do with Isaac Newton's "Principia" views. The comparisons and superiority of his own original, widely divergent insights, motivations and equations came post facto from others and were...
