Working on a project to put together something to memorialize Grady, and am looking for funny exchanges between him and his fellow commentators in the booth.

Just play it and record it with your smartphone or any other device you might have to record sound. Then email it to gradypics@oldpoolhall.com or if it's on a video that is out there on the Internet, just shoot me a link to it and what time into the video it is said.

If it's a Accu-stats match that you don't have in your possession, but you remember it being said, just go to the Accu-stats store and do a search for it, then email me the SKU number or tell me what match it was and between who and we'll see if another member has it. Check out their store while you're there and pick yourself up a nice DVD or 2 or 3, to watch.

I would imagine any of these should be under a minute long, so it should be easy to send and record.

I politely asked for this in another thread, along with pictures, and got ZERO responses, so am starting a new thread that is just asking for "Gradyism's" only.

Thanks for anyone that can help. I hope the pool community can come together and help with this, as it shouldn't take much time on anyone's part (except mine:smile:)
 
I don't remember which accu-stat vid it was but Grady made a statement that I thought was priceless.... He said that Incardonas head was "shaped perfectly for one pocket" :grin: I'm really gonna miss Grady, He was an awsome guy.
 
need to find it..

note the signature... he said it quite a few times and WW Woody said to Buddy Hall (quoting Grady) when they were in the both at a Roanoke 1 pkt match...

starting to search now...
 
Wish I could remember which vid it is, but a classic I know is Grady telling Danny D and Cardone that he is so tired of predicting the next shot correctly that he is going to purposely give a wrong call, just to see what it is like.

The Man knew some pool.

Actually, what Grady said as I recall was "I'm TIRED of being right all the time...Billy, give me something to say so I know what its like to be wrong once in awhile". Absolutley hilarious.

Someone HAS to post the audio where Billy I is doing commentary and Grady just runs up and blasts him, calling him out to play. Grady was on fire that day.

Damn, Grady was like family to us Accu-Stat collectors.

and then accu-stats kicked Grady to the curb for Jimmy Wych... JIMMY FRIGGIN WYCH.... are you kidding me? He ain't a pimple on Grady's ass.:angry:
 
I loved Billy and Grady commentating on the TAR SVB vs Deuel 10 ball match up. At one point Grady suggested that it was time for a mercy killing. Priceless.
 
I was never a big Grady fan but he did have one line I really liked and use once in awhile. Grady was commenting on a One-Pocket match and the shooter jumps up on his stroke. Grady says, "That shot had about as much commitment as most first marriages".
 
"The balls know who's winning"

Commentating Earl vs. Bollman 1990 finals:

"Well he can do anything he wants at this point (Earl up 11 to 1 in race to 13)...I think he could corner hook him and ask him to go six rails and kick one in frozen on the end rail and it would only be a minor distraction"


My favorite from Grady..."The balls know who's winning!"

Can't give you a reference buy there was one 1pocket match where player A scratches near the end of the match, so a ball spots up, but there's also a ball near Player A's pocket on the long rail near his pocket and Player B elects to pass on the spot shot and shoot the cross-over bank and Grady says something like, "That is cowardice of the first order."

And there was the sign-off that he'd frequently use at the end of a match: "And that my friends is, as they say, another bit of pocket billiards history."

hehe... well, I love all the stories and all, but no one's helping me at all with my project. I need ACTUAL AUDIO.:D

For some reason, I seemed to think I was going to get lots of help in this area. That was based on all the threads and posts I've read where people have extensive links to videos and seem to be familiar with a lot of the videos, even having watched them multiple times.

I thought it would be no problem getting lots of posts that said..

"Check out this one.. www.youtube.com/5544334 at 15:44 . Grady says some hiliarous stuff"

Or I would get lots of emails sent directly from someone's smartphone, where they held their phone up to the audio when they were playing the DVD at home and taped the 15 or 20 seconds of Grady uttering a funny line.

But so far I have ZIP again.. from 2 threads on this. I have absolutely nothing to put in my slideshow that I got from the AZB community.

I've only got a few pictures and Zero audio clips, so I have to just come to grips with the fact no one is willing to help me with this. I won't waste my time creating any more posts on the matter. I don't beg and the purpose of me alluding to the fact I'm pretty disappointed is simply a moment of weakness in me and venting.

I'll get off my soapbox now and let everyone get back to all the more important threads here.

I appreciate the people that at least read this post and said something.
 
One of my favorites from Grady was during an Accustats match. Grady and Billy started woofing at each other a bit,imagine that, and Billy reminds Grady about the last time they played each other. Billy then tells Grady that "your stroke got so weak that you were too scared to shoot at your hole." Grady then replied that "Maybe..but there has never been any weakness in the size of my wager!" Classic commentaries..
