I have put together a Teechip store to sell some of the classic T-Shirts and some prints that people ask about from time to time. The way it works is orders are taken for a week then whatever sold is printed and shipped. Shipping is quoted by teechip at 7-10 days after the sale ends. I have...

Believe what you will. Far as I'm concerned the Cup has went full retard with this move. They do shit like this to drum up drama and interest. I'm done caring about it.

Yeah. I have a long history of not knowing what I am talking about.

Was Oscar on the Cup team this year?

Oh please. Backbone. The US team this year would drag its balls across a mile of broken glass to gamble with the Euro team every day for a month. Tournament pool and made for tv gaffe events are not all pool is about. Luke Riches is a nice guy but to Americans he has virtually no impact compared...

Facts are racist.

Glad no one was hurt. Situation sounds just like a set up. A crew of four with three armed just happens to jack a random guy sitting in a car in what looks to be full apartment parking lot after the "friend" runs in to get something? I wonder if that friend will find her purse after Shane...

This. Exactly. The cup has Captains not coaches. Captains job is to organize, pick a line up and make sure the guys know what time the shuttle is leaving the hotel.

Sounds good but you don't know who is on the team until 30 days before. Good luck getting players to commit to anything with the chance that when payday comes they get told "Too bad" As it sits now Matchroom doesnt give the captain enough power to change anything. If they did I doubt it would...

I just found and posted the TAR Podcast Chad Pollman did with Scotty in August 2007. They talk about the Kiamco deal. I forgot about it but I guess Chad bet on Kiamco. LOL. You can listen on the site or download the MP3 to save. http://www.theactionreport.com/

The captain is used as much for logistics and general cat herding as anything. He is the liaison and manger between Matchroom and the players. Players should focus on playing. Matchroom can afford the sixth guy.

I was there for that. Only time in my life I've seen a guy turn down a spot in a game that actually happened. Scotty was the source of the first TAR quote shirt: "I've never really been beaten. I just ran out of money a few times." Only saw him a couple times but he made an impression.

Whoever puts their head in the woodchipper next has my condolences. That is a brutal job with not many paths to success. I liked Mark for the fact he brought a lot of class to the whole thing. Always figured Robles would be the next man up. Having Johan as coach would send the Euro's into a...

Mark committed the cardinal sin of all professional coaches. He lost. You can't fire the players so you fire the coach.

Terrible news. I met Scotty at Dan Tull's place in 2007. Super nice guy with some amazing stories. Damn shame. He really was a unique guy in a world full of characters. Condolences to his family and friends on their loss.

Its been touched on here but IMO the single biggest factor that separates the Euros from the US is they understand the value of making a mistake. In this format is hard to overstate how big of a deal it is. Also they know how important it is to take advantage of an opponents mistake and make...

Shane hates losing. Pathologically. After years of getting his nuts kicked in at the Cup its not that hard to figure out why he looks unhappy. Dude is batting .500 in winning US Opens. He's entered ten and won five. No one knows how to win more than Shane. That his performance has been so bad is...

Luke Riches just replied on my facebook page. There will be another USA vs Europe Mosconi Cup next year in Vegas December 4-7. Matchroom is also going to do The Reyes Cup Europe vs Asia. No date or venue on that.

If turned it off after Shaw won. Did they say Europe vs Asia? It would make sense. Pool is on the rise in Asia. Better organization there. Some sponsors with money to spend.
