Darren, Mika, etc.?

It's no secret that Earl has been living off the kindness of others for years now. He can still make a buck once in a while in a tournament and from guest appearances but it's nothing like the lifestyle he used to enjoy when he was on top.

He'd probably do well as an anger-management coach.

Just asking....

Hey Garczar,

I do follow pool, but I don't live and breath it and keep track of all the tournaments. I was only asking because I figure some one on here would know. Does that answer your question sir?

Glad to hear Mika and Darren are ok financially, I know it is none of my business, but hoping they are.

As for Earl, I don't know about him and fear he may not have a happy ending. I detest some of his antics, yet I like old You Tube vids of him when he is on his game and not acting out.

If some one is a jerk I try to avoid them, if they have a real health issue contributing to their acting out, I cut them some slack. I have never see any one who appears to get so much satisfaction out of pocketing a ball as Earl does.

For sure there are two camps on AZ. Some like him and defend him and some detest him and constantly put him down.

I feel for the Pearl. It sucks getting older. I’m 30 something and feeling it already. Earl was a monster and now has lost some of that, add in that pro pool fizzled out while he was still in his good years. What else is there for him to do? It would be soul crushing for someone like that to go get a random job. He has a passion for pool that few others seem to have. If I came up on a bunch of millions I’d give a few to him I think
