Seems like a lot of the comments have drifted far away from Houston Legends. Please stay focused.

Beautiful cue case.

Isn't it always fun to watch Earl get beat?

I think it was Jersey that used to say "Keep them laughing and keep them broke". He played an exihibition game of one-pocket against one of our local players once. After our player made a pretty good safety break, Jersey looked at the rack and said "Do you want to play another one?". There...

Don't remember Duke or Chinese Billy or Isa Ankar, but I wasn't from Houston so I only went to LeCue a few times. It was upstairs, but when I was going there wasn't any view.
