If all things equal, experience wins out. Oscar's experience showed even though he may have been tiring.

Let it go. lesson learned.

This is a complicated thread. I don't believe everyone can attain greatness in any sporting endeavor unless they have some innate god given intellect and physicality for what they're trying to accomplish. To me, it's the "Ah Ha" moment you arrive at when you figured the puzzle out. You see it...

Efren played all the games well but in todays game he'd be a weakling jumping the ball and breaking from the box. In tough defensive battles he might prevail on any size pockets but he simply could not put packages together and jump out of trouble. In fact many top Filipinos have difficulty...

If you have the original box and they are in good condition you can get $150. They are timeless beauties.

The hooker walks one side of the street and the pimp stands on the other side watching. They both want the same result.

Dave, thx again for the science you bring to the game. Once upon a time a long long time ago, i played in a predominately Carom room where Tweeten Yellow Band chalk was used. The carom players felt that the "grittier" Yellow Band allowed for extreme english without the miscues that occur with...

Can you even reach it without an extension? With the extension you would have trouble powering the object ball. Bob Jewett correct in shooting one rail make the fifteen but call the eight as well and find a spot on the rail to leave the cueball. Phone a friend to shoot it for you - that be John...

Back in the day, Dave Matlock was THE MAN on the bar box. But put him on a big table and he couldn't beat the top payers. My point is everybody has a speciality and this match is no exception. Bergman has his hands full regardless of the outcome.

Charles Dickens - It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. JA had it all going. He had the sponsors, the game and the victories. Something happened. I’m not sure anyone knows for sure but he’s a shell of his former self.

I believe as we age our reflexes, sighting and stamina erode. So is Shane on the downside of his career? Maybe and maybe not. I watched with great interest George Foreman recapturing the Heavyweight Boxing Championship at 45 yrs of age. In his interviews after his career was over, he spoke at...

This is good news for the sport. Getting two of the best to face off, being able to pick sides on who wins and why, youth against age (so to speak) and predictions about the future of the game is what will fun to watch. I can't wait.

The Biography of the “ Unsinkable Titanic” is a great read that you cannot put down. I read it about 30 years ago and then lost the book and couldn’t find it. So many stories about his travails but much of it does not get into his demons and from what I’ve heard he had plenty. For all the money...

Jay, we go back a long ways AND I'd like to keep seeing you, so pay attention to your doctors orders and get better.

I'll bet ESPNs viewing of the Mosconi Cup will be on tape delay during the Stupid Bowl. Pardon me, Super Bowl. That'll give it a real shot to be appreciated by the viewers.

Going to school so you can learn a profession can only help your future life. Money for Women’s Pool hasn’t happened just yet but it will in the years to come. She’ll be able to pick her game back up when it happens with the advantage of having a profession to come back too.

John Horsfal was a sporty player from Canada. He won a Sands Regency event I believe thirty years ago then wosh...............never heard about him again. He was not an action player but very good tournament player.

Finally, getting pool back on TV................

Each generational level of cue sports has had the best ever component to it. Hopkins is no exception. In his time he was "The Best." That's until I saw Efren play the game in the 90's, 2000's and until about 2010. I thought no one could play the game any better and then comes Alex. Now maybe...

I think the 80's belong to Hopkins. RA was done, Efren became the MAN in the 90's and forward. Grady, Joyner and Cornbread did not have his firepower running balls. Certainly Varner could compete at a very high level but Hopkins IMO reigned supreme back then.
