Black Widow

Yes, it was classic. The best line (which sums up the whole persona of the road player's all-consuming quest for the cash) was George whining, "can't we keep the money?"

SJM, the only thing I've heard is that a reporter takes her out to bars where people don't know her & she hustles the guys at the bars... At the end of the day, they give the money back to the guys they beat... don't know how close that is or isn't to the truth, just what someone told me. :rolleyes:

Wonder how she could go into any bar without someone recognizing her?

Must have been hard for her to forgo the all black with the tight pants and the hair flowing all over.

I could see her getting by some of the patrons but not all of them unless there was a full blown disguise.

I believe the guy that told me about it did say that they put her in a disguise.
 
Geez, you guys must be total pool fanatics - you need a life outside pool. The one page article is on the last page of the issue - Rick Reilly's column. He visited Indy several weeks ago. He got the idea to take the worlds best known pool player into a bar and see if they could hustle one of the locals. Disguise included glasses, wig, broadening the nose, butt and bust padding - professional make-up. Reilly played the obnoxious, drunk backer. Her husband placed an anonymous call to one of the local house players that drunks were dropping cash at the bar. Shark shows up, Jeanette stomps the shark (very distressed at losing to a girl), then they exposed the scam. The costume was a little risque - the bartender opines at the end, "I figured there was a pro in the room, I just didn't know what kind."

Well, I guess you have to be able to play a little bit to maintain the ranking she has. Jeanette is a very good player. She could probably easily beat 99% of the people playing pool today. Now, before you go off on that tangent you better look at the numbers of people playing both casually and regularly and you will see that this stat bears out.

And dressing sexily is just icing on the cake for those of us that like to watch pool. I like good pool first and even better in an attractive package.

SS,
I guess we will have to disagree. Since Jeanette began concentrating on her game 2 years ago, her record against both Karen and Allison is quite good (close to if not above .500). She has significant health problems (worse this year, but present throughout her career) that would keep anyone but a fierce competitor on the sidelines. To maintain a top 5 ranking is quite admirable given the circumstances. In August she will undergo yet another back surgery (she's had somewhere between 5 and 8 surgeries on a part of the body that often leaves the patient disabled even after a single surgery). Try playing that level of pool through excruciating pain, it may not be as easy as you think. Twice in the last 2 years Jeanette has beaten Allison 7-0 in a televised match (I also recall her beating Karen twice in the same tournament a year or 2 ago) - she's definitely got game.

I think her fashion sense is quite good, and nothing like any street walker I've ever seen (perhaps you have more experience in this area). Players like Jeanette and Ewa who make an attempt to dress up the sport should be commended.

Willie,

Does that mean she won't be in Peoria?

Jeanette ...

I saw Jeanette in Tulsa at Magoos in an exhibition, and she can play. She made
some very nice shots, and could even play shape after making them ... lol

I like the way she dresses. She has a cute shape, and there is nothing wrong with showing it off a little.

There is nothing like an attractive sexy woman that shoots good Pool to get
my blood flowing fast ... that tells me that she has a brain to go along with
the sexy package its in.
 
If I dropped a few thousand on some boobs, you can bet your ass I'd be showing them off, too! Nothing wrong with wanting to look your best. :)
