Is there anything this man cannot accomplish over the glorious green felt? We are lucky to have the opportunity to watch this giant of our sport putting together a hall of fame worthy resume.
Yes, he's Darren the Great.
.... oh yeah, and his recently released instructional DVD is pretty amazing, too.
