    There's nothing better than being on a team that's supposed to lose and taking down the favorite. And let's face it. Tom Brady winning the Super Bowl got boring. Tom Brady losing to a wild card in the Super Bowl was riveting.

    Luck as a skillset.

    I've never won a raffle of any kind in my life. I see people clean up - pool cues, golf clubs, guns, trips. It's a foreign concept to me.

    Top five 9Ball Players of all time?

    Dude looks like a stone killer. If you saw that walking into a pool hall you should run. I bet he could adapt to fast tables pretty quickly.

    SJM Trip Report: Matchroom US Open 9ball a Huge Hit

    Kevin was resplendent in yacht club attire - blue blazer with gold buttons, starched white shirt and immaculately pressed tan slacks. The only thing missing was a jaunty hat. It was pretty shocking amongst all the pool hall grunge.
