Maybe Rowdy Roddy Piper is in the house.

I'm so glad the players warmed up.

I hope the players do not fall asleep.

 

[Johnnyt]

How could anyone fall asleep with that sceeching. They weren't even good. And I'm Irish, I know my bag pipes.

i'm sure Shane took his hearing aid out. I respect the guys that play them but I cant stand them.

Their OK outside in a parade..but inside they sound like a bunch of stuck pigs. Johnnyt

I can't believe Barry is going on and on like this letting the players in the finals just sit there. Piss poor judgement. Johnnyt

its a dick sucking contest talking about the past and all the usless accloades, it has to get longer every year there is more usless history to talk about.

Couldn't agree more. Shoulda got all that hokey pablum out of the way, then intro players, let them warm up and play. Most thoughtless, egomaniacal behavior I've seen in a while. Can you picture the kingpin of the U.S. Tennis Open or Masters golf tournament pulling a stunt like this? Embarrassing to watch. Having said all that, B.B. put on a great tournament and has made enough contributions to pool that his somewhat awkward performance should probably be quickly forgotten.

I love bagpipes, so I am not complaining. Also, I got to experience that beautiful sound in person when attending past events, and it is something to hear in person...believe me.

 

[inside_english]

Given the state of men's professional pool, I don't blame Barry one bit for puffing his chest out a little. He puts on a great event year after year and likes to bask in the sun a little...30 minutes of "useless accolades" could be afforded by the players and fans, who got to enjoy great pool for a whole week in a comfortable facility with a pleasant atmosphere (for a cheap price too, I might add).

The man tries to promote his sport and give homage to past greats, thereby enriching the game even more, IMO. How can you want pool to be great if not to acknowledge its rich history? Its attitudes like these that will forever keep pool in the backrooms. Have some patience with Barry, he has done a great job and will probably continue to do so. Twenty-five countries were represented this time, so I think he is doing OK.

Calling it a d$$k_sucking contest was completely uncalled for.

 

[Johnnyt]

I agree that Barry has done a lot for pool...but he was very wrong in this case. Johnnyt
