    Don Mackey Back?

    I thought Davenport had some sort of eye injury/problem that forced him to retire from playing competitive pool?

    Joshua Filler. Damn!

    This was always the problem with Earl. His outrageous and abrasive style. He even pissed off Efren on occasion. Basically it was a form of sharking that he got away with because no Tournament Director would ever disqualify him -- he was too popular. Ive also heard away from the Table he's a...

    The Old Guard ?

    Ray Martin played beautiful straight pool He made it to the final 4 in the US Open in 1992. He was always so unflappable and relaxed. A joy to watch as you well know SJM!

    Thoughts on The Hustler and Color of Money books?

    Would have been great, Gleason was still alive and could have done the Fats parts at the beginning of the book/movie. He and Newman were fantastic in the Hustler.

    The Old Guard ?

    Years ago when Buddy and Billy were chatting on an Accu Stats tape, Buddy said no one shoots straighter than Sigel, And Billy agreed but said Parica was in that class. He was a tremendous shotmaker. I first saw him decades ago at the Sands playing Buddy in the late stages. It was Hill/Hill and...

    Parica is alive and kicking. He was a joy to watch in his prime.

    Who have been the best 9 ball players in the last 20 years?

    Big Ko has won World 9 Ball, World 10 Ball and China Open. That's pretty sporty for Majors.

    Straight Break 9 Ball

    @jay helfert completely agree. Sigel said the same thing on an Accu Stats match where he was commentating with Mark Wilson.

    Calling Dr. Dave! SVB "Foul" @ UK Open

    We clearly need a Home Office with Experienced Refs and then the On Site Refs can put on the head set and confer via Zoom with the folks in the Home Office. This is what they do in Stanley Cup. Refs on Ice can chat with the Refs in Toronto to confer and reach consensus. You would only do this...

    Nine Ball UK Open.

    @Bob Jewett mentioned Matchroom live in a previous post, and that’s starting to make sense to me now. They mention they are showing 5 Matchroom tournaments in the subscription: US Open World Open Mosconi Cup World pool masters World Cup Would be great if they could add ALL Matchroom pool events...

    Nine Ball UK Open.

    If DAZN screwed up why not just stream live on their YouTube channel? They are posting high lites there anyway?

    what are the all-time greatest pool matches?

    Rempe vs Varner in the Sands semi-final from ‘88 or ‘89? Rempe comes back from the dead to beat Varner, 11-10. I think he was down 8-1 or 8-0. One of the first and best Accu-Stats video tapes!

    Article says : "Hitting a Baseball is the Hardest Skill to Pull Off in Sports." -- Not IMO

    The most difficult skill in all sports is dropping to your knees in front of a 100mph slap shot in hockey to block it. Period. Most people cannot do it even once.

    Emily Frazer making a lot of sense

    I agree but we shouldn't give up hope yet. The US Open and the International are on the East Coast just weeks apart. We need to find another major to host on the East Coast at this time. Then we would have a real US Stop or month on the Matchroom 9Ball Calendar
