Fleece3,
I'm not trying to start a flame war. Maybe I came on a little strong and if I did, I apologize for that. The only point I'm trying to make is that someone's mental health conditions just should not be talked about on a public forum. We know the things that he's done that people are...
I used to work in the mental health profession and it just isn't cool, imho, to talk about someone else's mental health. I've always liked your posts to Yobagua. I just think that it is inappropriate to discuss someone's mental health issues on a public forum. His behaviors are on the table...
Personally, I think people should stop trying to second guess whether Earl has a mental illness or not. We should focus on the behavior because we can discuss what we've actually seen him do. I have no idea whether he has any mental problems and I seriously doubt that anyone else on here does...
We had a pretty big Vietnamese pool hall where I live and it got so roudy the police finally closed it down. They tried to open another one and the city council refused to give them a license.
We had 3 Vietnamese guys that used to love to play 9b for money. They were all in their late 20's...
I love to play pool. I don't think I could go a couple of weeks without playing but I would not play in that league given your description of it. Doesn't sound like it's worth all the trouble.
If I were you, I'd forget about it, play out your season and then quit that league. Start up your...
I thought Christopher Walken was phenominal in "Poolhall Junkies". I'm one of the few here that really liked that movie though. I also thought Chaz Palmenteri (sp?) was excellent in that movie. I think if these two were in a big production movie, they'd be awesome. Robert DeNero would be...
Ego, that's the issue imho. You practice until you feel pretty good about your game, and then you go out and compete and you have to live up to what you feel you should do based on all that practice. When you play someone that is supposed to beat you, you'll probably play better because the...
TAP TAP TAP!!!
That's what I've been talking about! The main thing here, Jay, is that Earl would have benefitted so much if other TDs had taken the same stance as your's and Pat's. It's just a shame things have gotten this out of hand!
TAP TAP TAP!!
I thought Mike was very clear about it:
1. This is not an open public forum.
2. Mr Wilson is a moderator and has been given the authority by Mike to monitor and sanction people as he sees fit.
3. At the risk of speaking for Mike, if you don't like it, bye bye now.
Having witnessed some of Earl's antics, I would disagree. McEnroe would blast the referees not the other player. Earl goes after the player. I just don't understand why the other players that he goes after don't at least get in his face and tell him to shut up! And, given his reputation, why...
Blud,
I'm just so impressed you have the where-with-all to write this post! My heart aches for you because I have a woman like that too and have had her for 30 years and I just can't imagine how painful it must be losing her. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Maybe one of these days we'll...
Captain,
I saw your later post but I need to reply to this. Have you ever seen Earl in action in person? I have many times and if someone treated me the way I've seen him treat others, one of us would be laying on the ground and not getting up any time soon. If you haven't seen him in action...
I really hate it when people get in my way when I'm about to shoot especially when they do it repeatedly; people that are inconsiderate in general piss me off!!!
The cell phone thing bugs me too. I was practicing by myself and this guy comes up to me and wants to play. He starts off by...
Congratulations LS! As a parent of two adult children, just do the best you can and know that yes, you will make mistakes but if you love them, they'll forgive you. And, you'll never experience more worry, joy and happiness!!
Oh I forgot
I was at Hardtimes in Sac when Bryce Avilla got punched out right outside the front door. I could barely see it because I was leaving from the door of the tournament room that comes out in the front parking lot when the fight started. There was a crowd of people around them and I...
