    Danny Medina's fight is over

    Thanks David, it means a lot and would mean a lot to Danny too. So many have been so kind and that would mean the world to Danny. it means the world to me as well. Death for me is very hard to deal with and most say it comes a time to turn the page. I am sure they are wise and very right, but...

    Fast Eddies 9 Ball Tour Feb. 9-10, Round Rock Tx.

    yes, the fast Eddies is just about 2 exits south of Skinny Bobs. The LA qwuinta is right behind Fast Eddies but pretty pricey. I will go to work on them and the Candlewood Monday morning.

    yep, I remember you being in Denver in about 82. You showed up right after the Olathe tournament. But hey, that was only 30 short years ago.

    Danny Medina's fight is over

    i was with him when he once played Calvin in Odessa Tx. I think it was at Woody's where Billy Weir played many years ago. Danny and Calvin had been playing for like 14 hours and Danny went to the rest room. Calvin dropped to the floor and started doing push ups. i9 thought it was the most...

    Danny Medina's fight is over

    I don't think anyone ever beat him on that table. Not heads up, even anyway. Louie Roberts tried and for two days. Then stopped, unscrewed and left without saying a word to anyone.

    Danny's funeral will be held Sunday night, Jan 27, in Brighton Colo. A very special thank you goes to Melissa Little, Mark Hadad, Dan Gladden, Felts Billiards and many others. Thank you all so very much. I am so grateful he no longer is in pain and suffering, but, the thought of this world...

    What is the more skillful player: better potter, or better cue ball control?

    They had best become one of the same. In all games you have to make the ball to win. in order to win you had best learn to make the ball and get the correct angle to get on the next and the one after that etc. Making the ball and getting position is all one shot! That is what made Buddy so great!

    Road warriors, past vs. present.

    That would be Frank Burgess and I am pretty sure, not in ;the family mix but very good friends. i remember I was in the pool hall when Frank got the call that Joe and Pete had won some doubles deal in Vegas and Frank was darn near in tears and so happy for them.

    Road warriors, past vs. present.

    What a change that would be now. It would definitely bring the bank shot back into pool. i can see the look in some eyes when they have to go for something.

    Road warriors, past vs. present.

    When i compare those of today with those back in the day, i come up with Jason Kirkwood. i felt he had some of those qualities from the first time i saw him i n action. Not a great player, but much heart and a real battler.

    Road warriors, past vs. present.

    it indeed is not a fair comparison. Th eold two hot guys were far more fun to watch and in that game, the shooter won the majority of the time. Richie Ambrose was a world champ. They changed to Texas Express and in six months, he wa just another pool player. Pete was a fine player and played all...

    Danny Medina's fight is over

    It was the call late at night I had dreaded for many months. It took me a while as I am selfish and wanted him here, but finally I was relieved. His brutal fight with cancer was over. Still, after 40 years, I just can't imagine the world without him. We went through a lot together. their...

    Danny Medina's fight is over

    This is a tough time for me personally but I found this amusing. i wish I were there to hear what he and Grady are drumming up right now. They had some battles over the years and some knock down arguments, but later in life they got along very well and shared a mutual respect. They craved much...

    Danny Medina's fight is over

    I have dreaded the call I got last night for some time. Danny Medina died Thursday evening at 11:38 in Denver Colorado. Danny and I met way back in 1971 at the old Civic Center Billiards in Denver. We were both 19 years old. He was a young and cocky guy but ponce one got past that, he was really...
