    Player of the decade Earl or Sigel?

    Sigel.

    The only thing wrong with "Pool," is it needs watching.

    Also, when you are watching great players, they make it look easy. And to your point, that's because people just see the object ball go in the pocket and miss the skill and artistry in getting shape, executing different strokes, etc. Billy Incardona was great at pointing this out--when shots...

    DAZN shady subscription practices

    YES! I got scammed by DAZN too. @Bob Jewett said that Matchroom Live does show some US Pool but Im not sure they cover all the tournaments. Matchroom PLEASE get a professional streaming service! They should just offer a yearly pool subscription and then cover/stream all their events. No more...

    Then vs. Now (One More Thread)

    Agree. But Chamberlain was the only player who forced rule changes because of his dominance. But Russell? No one won more period. He won the NCAA his last two years, then an Olympic Gold then 11 out of 13 NBA Championships. He lost one of those to the Hawks because he was injured. And the other...

    Then vs. Now (One More Thread)

    I agree with Cornerman. Prime Sigel was the best shot maker on the Tour period. And that includes Earl and Parica-another great player who never seems to get his due. But like Efren and Earl and every great player, he seemed to develop the yips and movement as he aged.

    Hopkins vs. Sigel.. SandsRegent

    You are so right @jay helfert. I went to the Sands twice in the early 90's and it was fantastic. Great tournements, venue, etc

    Ralph Greenleaf

    @Bob Jewett yes, but I thought he owned Greenleaf until he quit playing when they put in the 60 second shot clock.

    Hopkins vs. Sigel.. SandsRegent

    I believe Sigel won the Sands in both '88 and '89, but I don't remember if they had 2 tournements per year in the 80's. @jay helfert would know

    Mosconi Player Schedule

    I remember Earl from the 90's and it's painful to watch this version. Im still rooting for him, but I think this may be his last hurrah.

    Tired of hearing how straight pool is the best game

    I thought the Top players were always the Top Players? Sigel, Rempe, Varner, Hopkins, etc all played 14.1, 9Ball and 1 Pocket. Did I miss something? And didn't the old timers play all games at Johnson City?

    Sickest run out ever?

    What about Varner's run out against Sigel at the the '90 US Open? I think he was down 9-2 in a race to 11 and had to kick in two balls to win the rack and start the comeback........

    SJM at the 2022 International Open

    I never realized "slow" play was such a big deal. I actually believe that when a Player does have a difficult shot/decision the shot clock is a detriment. Watching players run around the table is ridiculous. In all my years watching pool the only player I thought was "slow" was Gregg Fix. You...
