    The long decline of ESPN

    I remember when ESPN (and cable, for that matter) first started. I would get up at 5:00 AM to watch racquetball and table tennis before work. One of the first pool events I remember them showing were those Legends matches in the early/mid 80s.

    What did the leper say to the prostitute? "Keep the tip" Please don't ban me!

    A pool player filming until they run a rack (says it's his 10th day)

    That's what I'm doing with Marriage.

    Discussion: Focusing on the cue ball compared to other sports

    In an IDEAL world, I think you are absolutely correct. I watch a fair amount of snooker and Chinese 8 ball, and almost all of those guys (the straightest shooters on the planet) lock on to the OB and their eyes NEVER leave it. I say "ideal world" bcz how many of us have the eyesight to be able...

    My Fargorate progression

    The first time I ever flew into Vegas in daylight, I turned to my buddies and said "I was thinking of opening a lawnmower store here in Vegas. I've changed my mind" There wasn't a single blade of grass in sight.

    Dynaspheres and WNT Launch Major Partnership as the New Balls of the Tour

    1. I am an old timer 2. I like to complain. 3. I am for anything new as long as it makes sense. Changing the SHADES of the colors of the balls to make them easier to see? I am all in. Changing the colors (or mixing up the colors) completely for no reason, I am against.

    Dynaspheres and WNT Launch Major Partnership as the New Balls of the Tour

    I agree totally. The ugliest, most nonsensical ball set ever made, except maybe for the Aramith Black set. EDIT: I just saw a set of dynaspheres in Vegas last week where the 6 & 14 were grey. You wouln't even see them on this WNT cloth. The rest of the colors were OK, with the 2 & 10 being...

    Ultimates Rules

    Sorry, but this makes ZERO sense. If you're gonna let the opponent be able to designate the successful breakers suit (which, I don't know why you penalize a successful break), then they are therefore designated as the other suit. This sounds like a rule made up by bad players to try and have a...

    Ultimate Pool - Florida Open

    That would be funny as hell to have the Euro team walk in for the next Mosconi Cup and see 7ft Diamonds, and Shane says, the game is barbox 8 ball this year, bitches!

    Blast from the past: The Miz vs CJ Wiley

    I was referring to more of a fish out of water kind of thing. He was such a great straight pool player (just a great player period), but 9 ball was not his game.

    Blast from the past: The Miz vs CJ Wiley

    Watching Mizerak play 9 ball is like watching Michael Jordan play baseball.

    Seeing the contact point on the object ball.

    Allison Fischer has said that she looks at the point on the OB that is farthest from the pocket.

    WPBA US Open

    Don't know if anybody's been watching any of this, but Savannah Easton's game has taken a quantum leap in this tournament. She's into the Finals after beating Wei 8-3. I've watched her last 4 matches and I haven't seen her play anything close to this level before.

    He hit it with outside (in this case, right) english to help throw the ball in

    Yapp’s Controversial Tournament-Winning Shot in the 8-Ball World Championship … Was it a Foul?

    I agree, as a player you have to go with a Ref's call, but a big-time tournament should have Refs who have a clue what they're doing
