Earl and mike sigel-funny on the table?

demartini rocks · Jul 16, 2018

when i was going through the least favorite players thread i noticed mike sigel and earls popped up a lot.
i get that can be a bit petulant a lot of times. however, if one listens to what he is saying that dude is pretty brilliant and hysterical.
i've seen sigel talk a lot in some of the accu-stats dvd's i have but he's not audible or clear enough to hear. does he come up with some funny stuff while he's playing?
i get it that a lot of members here can't stand that stuff from these 2 . here's the thing though-if they're both funny then damn the entertainment value is priceless. you most likely got comedians up there who more often than not will shoot lights out and you get to laugh your ass off. win win i say.

I am sure he'd be cool to have around your pool room.

Better yours than mine.

Ba-dum-dum-dum...

Kidding, mostly. I am sure he was cool at one point, but he is so aloof and uninterested in anything that isn't Mike, having him around isn't great. None of which bugs me- he owes me nothing and I understand he is a 'great' and that a lot of that is due to his alpha attitude.

Anybody whose Schtick you buy is going to be coo/ funny/ enjoyable, but many personas are no longer accepted the way they used to be: fats/ Mataya, for instance.

Just a short story for you. My neighbor was the counterman at a local pool room. I was sitting at the counter having coffee with him. A customer walked up to the counter and asked who the guy was playing on the center table. He is continually talking to himself while shooting. He never misses but he never shuts up. Care to guess who it was?

Was that Ralph or Sam at the counter and yes I do remember Mike playing and continuously complimenting and congratulating himself on his fine play. And your right...he never missed or shut up.

Actually it was Cigar Larry. Incidentally, are you home from your vacation? Stop by East Ridge. You won't believe what Chris has done!

People don't like to lose and they especially don't like to lose to people with a type A personality.

Talking to yourself is one thing... Answering yourself is another.

Its fine to answer yourself too, its when you start asking yourself to repeat things that you should seek help. :thumbup:

Who, in this or his world, would he find to listen to him and have what he might consider
worthy to have that conversation with. But then he'd probably think and tell them that
they're wrong and spend the next 10 hours informing them as to why ...

Mike never needed anyone to have a conversation with. He just has one with himself. No arguments there!

Watching them on AccuStats or sitting in the stands or watching live stream is different than playing against them or playing on a table next to them. As a spectator, it may be amusing but as a player it's a shark move and incredibly distracting and unfair.

Maybe Mike keeps talking because he's asking himself for expert advice. :bow-down: :shocked:

yeah i can see how when playing that it will ruin your game, concentration, etc.

possible solution: sic jimmy mataya against either one of them. i just might laugh my ass off while rolling off the bleacher seat and hope not to laugh to death.

For sure! Jimmy in his prime could give either of them the 6 and the breaks when it comes to acting out on the table.

Fran,

What do you mean "in his prime"? Did you listen to Jimmy as a commentator for the Andy Mercer Memorial last year? He hasn't lost a step!!!
