Fast Davie, I certainly sincerely apologize if I was in any way rude or unfriendly. We were gone on a long road trip from March 24th to May 8th. I answer all my e-mails and phone calls and I don't have an unlisted number. I'm not that good on the computer so I occasionally miss an e-mail. I...

Since I was asked, Johnny hardly ever loses. He is the best in the world at racking the balls and he is dirt slow, two reasons which make him the favorite. He is also possessed of maybe the world's best break. Case in point: Two or three years ago he played Sambahon a race to 15 that took a mind...

If I had said the things about Johhny's racking that was posted here, the nuts would've been all over me. I guess it's OK if it isn't a pro saying it?

I simply mean it's a shame tv didn't use Accu-Stats instead of whatever they do use. If you wish to contact me, please use my email. I'm not particularly fond of private messages. And Corvett...I have no clue what your posting means. Sorry.

To not have used Accu-stats on TV productions is really low class, IMHO. They've paid their dues for years, even going to events at a loss sometimes. Aspiring players have learned much from their fine products and fans of the cue sports have enjoyed countless hours of championship pool at very...

In Louieville in Nov. there will be Bank Pool, 10 Ball, One Pocket and Straight Pool, with player friendly entry fees; I think no more than $130. Accu-stats will be there and I am commited to doing some commentary so if you want to come out, have a great time and have the disciplines spoken...

Look, I'm done here. This type of thing only gets me frustrated. There are plenty of other qualified players who won't get an invite too. That's why there just isn't any excuse for not opening up the field so it could really be a world champinship. It's only gonna get worse. Take my word for it...

Here's the biggest reason I would bar UPA players from my events. Over the years I've stood up for and helped lots of players. For example when Don Mackey and the then MPBA wouldn't let Mike Zugland play in my 1995 Straight Pool tournament, well, I got on my high horse and straightened the...

Listen, man, I have always backed my ideas with work and money. This is just another year where I get no invite to the straight pool and I won't get a chance to do commentary. I deserve both of these things. But you and Jam are right about this. It didn't do me any good last year and I'm...

Ok, fair is fair. Let's have Allen list his past prize money. He can't because it's been so bad that it's embarrassing to list. 7 Ball and trick shots, wow!!! And Mitch Lawrence? C'mon, if I were doing commentary with a brain surgeon, I'd look and sound awful. He's not qualified and never will...

Thanks, Bud, You know, there's been some talk from very brave people about me playing young guys who hardly ever miss a ball. Well, my skills have certainly diminished and that isn't smart for me to do. What I don't understand, though is why haven't pool lovers e-mailed and phoned ESPN ...

Marvin was a great player but he got hit by a car and was never the same after that and he struggled with women and alcohol problems most of his life. He also played a pretty nice game of three cush.

I would have to get out old billiard mags to do a complete list. And yes, I did forget the one we had here in Columbia at the then Sheraton. The reason we didn't come back is because even though we more than met our quotas they wanted to charge us for the space. That tournament was $20,000 total...

I forgot one very important event. Leonard Bludworth and I had an All-around tournament in Tampa, FL in 1983 which had $20,000 added

Jam asked for a list of what tournaments I promoted. Here is a partial list: 1. Legends of One Pocket, $20,000 added 1990 Radisson hotel Columbia,SC 2. Legends of One Pocket $20,000 added 1991 Columbia,SC 3. Legends of One Pocket $20,000 added, 1991 Philadelphia (Airport Hilton) 4.Super...

Done for the players? Hopkins? You people must be nuts. He takes all the money and receives awards. Mitch should do a mercy resignation, for god's sake. The bad commentary has really hurt our great sport. Hopkins has meetings behind closed doors and comes up with wrestling like promotions that...

I wish Ritchie Florence wre still alive. He was a lot better promoter than Hopkins or Charlie Williams.

What's up Allen, with this purported million dollar tournament? Where's the beef, meaning added money? You should be ashamed of yourself for even suggesting something like this.

I'm trying now to finalize location and sponsors for One Pocket and Straight Pool. But honestly, I'm hard pressed to ask why I shouldn't bar UPA players since nobody stands up for the Harrimans, the McCreadys and the Mathews'. I went through this last year. It's easy to open up an event and have...

I can't go to Maryland to play in the Straight Pool there because of family commitments. It says on the flyer for that event that the top two finishers will qualify for what I think Dragon Promotions cals a World Straight Pool Championship. That's all I know except that last year I tried to get...
