I definitely recommend Elia at Tiger as well... excellent! Can't comment on Ryan either way, never seen his work... stacks are awesome, I love'em

Well, I didn't start this to bash on Earl, it could have been any player in his position. I realize this happens to be a thread about Earl, I was just reminded of the incident in someone else post and thought it was fitting to mention. (This post isn't directed at Woody, I just didn't know where...

I would like to think so, yes. Although I know it doesn't happen. It's all about honor I suppose, some have it, some don't. In this case especially, the match was close, the audience saw it, Charlie saw it, earl knew it, and it was on tape. Scotty was at an angle that caused him to miss it...

Cool, thanks! I guess I was there too :) Do you remember where we were at? I have a hazy memory of that... I think at the time my dad was out in the van with Mitch (?) and they thought they saw it too... I even think my dad called it, and was then surprised that it was not called in the...

Wow... good memory. I think I was there and saw that - but I have a bad memory:) If I remember correctly, Charlie saw it too; he looked at Earl half-expecting Earl to point it out, and Earl noticed the ref didn't see it, so he didn't point it out.... Charlie didn't make a word about it, he...

Well, actually I'm cheating... I'm living in France for 3 months, so I'm 6 hours ahead :) But not all my clients know that, so they think I'm up real early... shhh Its amazing what you can do nowadays with email and skype!

Yes, that is an incredible amount for a top player to be required to play in one day. It is unfortunate that players of Mika's caliber should have to play so much in one day. They don't like it either. Unfortunately, to get tournaments like this done in the required timeframe, it has to happen...

ta da! In the media, any attention is "good" attention... people tune in to see what happens, just like everyone else here...

I suppose you could say it does :) although we'll never know how far back, since my dad was adopted. His adopted father played quite a bit though, recreationally.... however, unlike most father-and-sons, we can't just go kick back, play, and have fun - usually just ends up with him playing and...

While this doesn't really fit the category of stories you are looking for, I still think its a pretty cool story... My dad started playing pool when he was 7 years old. The first time he ever picked up a cue (my grandfather and great-uncle were playing) he ran 10 balls while they watched. My...

Allen Hopkins is, as mentioned, busy with ESPN work that unfortunately cannot be re-scheduled. In addition, there are also some family issues that need to be tended to. I know that he feels bad about not being there, as it is an event he looks forward to every year. I'm sure he will be there...

Thanks for explaining this, I was curious how it worked... It seems to me as though this whole situation could have, and should have, been avoided. It seems pretty obvious that Mark never had a chance. I would assume that some "higher-ups" knew this all along, it would have been much more...

Ding, Ding... we have a winner! Whoever finally does this will own professional pool. Why do you think so many people and players are trying to start a league now? Well, they may not use the money to start a tour with, but they see the money coming in. They quickly realize that it's not as...

I am not trying to change the topic, maybe someone can start another thread with the answer... but what did the BCA do when they were a powerhouse and protector of the sport? For the size, money, and influence they have/had for years and years, where is professional pool today? I remember...

This actually wasn't a Super Billiards Expo. This was just an event held at the Valley Forge Convention Center, sponsored by Coors apparently :) I honestly don't know much about this event, other than what the flyer says... I was only 14 back then. However, I do know that the first Super...

aw shucks, gee, thanks :) I'll pass the message along... I have some interesting thoughts on this, but it is probably best if I keep my mouth shut in this situation....

Good points... why does everyone get so upset because an attractive girl is promoted playing pool? So what if she has no real chance of winning a WPBA event tomorrow. Maybe down the line she will, maybe not - does that matter? If people tune in to see one, they will be introduced to the...

I think I'm confused... if an opponent shoots in a hanger and leaves bad shape, he still has to shoot. I suppose he could just play safe, and then you would have to shoot or kick and play safe in return. Safety play is allowed in any game (I know some people would discuss that too, but...)...

Oh yeah - JAM, that 10-Ball event was great... something about being snowed in a casino. Of course, the snow didn't help the event much, but it was fun being there :)

Not to add fire to the flame, but I hear a lot of people saying that 8-Ball should have call kiss shots... well, I personally think 9-ball should be call -pocket. Just my little ol' opinion, but I can't stand playing (or watching) 9-ball and a player just fires away at a shot, lucks it in, and...
