deuel vs immonen,

I plead the 5th, getting into peoples personal issues in a public forum/format when your not involved never has a good ending. The pro's have enough to worry about than people sweating them, but that comes with fame. I wont mention pool players but in the movie biz I know 1 A-liat actor and he hates it, some guys and girls do, but pool is different, if they were making $10M/yr they wuld have more tolleration for attention or people talking about them, but they dont so its best not to medal in their business they are out there busting ass to win small $$$, support them, help them, starting cntervesary isnt helping them. Now when someone punches someone then thats fair game.

I dont want to sound like a (_*_) hole or am knocking anyone, but its just bad to do IMHO. best regards.

I agree Eric, I don't know Corey, or Charlie, but they should be able to settle their differences without resorting to blows. Thats a little juvenille,
and pool does not need any more "black eyes".

Is it really "personal" or is it just a professional rivalry?
Rivalry's are usually a good thing for sports. Yankees-Red Sox, Lakers-Celtics, Cowboys-Redskins, Ali-Frazier, if the perception is that it is personal someone should be able to market it.
 
Oooh...Burn

If Corey beat me in finals of the Open, 11-0, I wouldn't like him either. (Go USA!:D )

With that said, Mika's mental game has become so much stronger than that incident. I'm curious to see what the actual record is between these two, but I haven't seen the Mikker lose very much in recent years.

IIRC, Corey alleged Mika got peanut butter in his chocolate, while Mika's allegation was that it was Corey, in fact, who got chocolate in his peanut butter.
 
(whispers) If I drop obscure Family Guy references, will they think I'm funny too? (Wistful sigh.)

j/k by the way. On a forum this size, someone will always know.:cool:

I don't believe Mika has any personal issues towards any other fellow players, just not his style. He is one of the roll models who maintains great public images for pool. He can be very intense to the game but never to other players.

Hhhmmmmmm.
I don't know if i am willing to agree with this statement as i have seen too much of Mika over the years...

BUT, i think it's worth mentioning, that Mika's behavior on several occasions DURING THE MATCH in the past when he was losing at various major tournaments or regional venues can cause a lot of friction. That being said, it's hard to tell if people react to that personally, which might have set up future friction and animosity.

Mika's sportsmanship has been less then stellar on different occasions which have been discussed in the past on the forums.

Those who have been around long enough know exactly what i am talking about.
He definitely has had his issues in the past.

Let us not forget that during that match towards the end, there was a point in time where Mika was in the tank and couldn't get out from anywhere, and when he would miss, Corey had to fight to hold back the laughter.

Just watch the match and you'll see it.

I was waiting for someone to say this. I was having a hard time believing that I was the only one on this site who has seen the remarkably unprofessional and often juvenile ways that Mika has acted mid-match in the past.

Whenever I play like shit, I get pissed at one person. ME. And I never take it out on the other guy. So I never understood it when the other guy acts like a bratty little kid.
 
Should i go on a spectacular Mika bash as well?!?!:D

lol

I will wait and see if others have the balls to.

You will likely be waiting a loooooong time. Balls are not found in large numbers around here. You may get a PM or two and some rep but I doubt people will go on record with much.

B <-------- has balls
