Jay Helfert I think is a good person and well respected.
As far as the other guy, who said well if I was captain, bla bla bla,
well I don't think we'll have to worry about that!
Joey
I happen to think that you would have made a good captain for the US Mosconi Cup team. But I now have reservations when you went for the Aguzin/Helfert joint ticket.
The job needs one strong individual to take it on and command the respect of a what is a pretty irreverent bunch of players.
Both yourself and Jay would probably handle the job rather well. But Jay has the jump on you because he is already over there working for Sky Sports as the commentator.
Tony Robles is the flavor of the week but his Mr Nice Guy persona is not what the team needs.
The US team should be something like Shane VB, Mike Dechaine, Brandon Shuff, Hunter Lombardo and John Morra (he is a North American) and Johnny Archer as non playing captain. They may not win first time out given the cauldron that is York Hall. But they would be a force to be reckoned with in the future.
Having an ex-Marine like Joey as a captain is not such a bad idea.
Being tough but able to work with a team is part of a Marine's job description.
pt109,
The Marine's instilled a lot of self discipline in me, a serious work ethic and a code of ethics that has followed me my entire life. It would be an honor to help the U.S. Mosconi Cup Team to "earn" the championship back.
Thanks for thinking that me being a Captain wouldn't be such a bad idea. :smile:
There's lots of good people that could help our team excel but it's not going to take pool talent in a Captain to get their engines synchronized and running on all cylinders.
