When you expect a certain behaviour it's no surprise, I personally was very surprised by a certain behaviour. I wouldn't use NFL as apples to apples though. John is extremely funny, I guess I was hoping for more of that. JMHO.
Deuel vs Schmidt one pocket on TAR

I think tournament play and gambling are two different animals when it comes to player behavior. I see nothing wrong with anything that happened last night. Corey stepped into the box and can handle his own business. If he thought it was a big deal then it was up to him to say something. If he didn't then I'm left to assume he didn't care.
Moreover, TAR customers have expressed an interest in having the players mic'ed. Be careful what you wish for, sometimes you may not like what you get. Personally I like it and want it. I'm not going to complain one way or another about it.
I did laugh my ass off last night when a visit to the men's room what broadcast live for all to enjoy.

john wasn't so bad
john was funny at 8 ball. 1pkt he was serious. corey was just more serious. i hate whiners as much as anyone but i play on that table sometimes (4 1/8 inch pkt diamond) and it makes you hate life. and john was correct, corey was getting every roll. but guess what, that's what happened yesterday, and it's gonna happen today, and tomorrow. why do we all forget that? corey was also out-playing him, like the 8 ball match. thanks TAR but a race to 8? who picked that number? is that a standard 1pkt match?

This thread is proof you can't please everyone no matter what you do! Lol.
I'm biting into a delicious ice cream filled cup now! I'm very pleased. Lol

I totally agree on the eight ball. That was entertaining. And I really like John. Read some of my previous posts. He's a cool guy and a totally funny guy. So I'm a fan ever since I met him in Orlando in 2006.
But when John started to self proclaim how much better of a one pocket player he was over Corey is when my dobber totally went up. I have a feeling that John may get some action. And if Corey won't play him I'm sure Jeremy will.
I personally believe when going into traditional one pocket battle you should play at least a 6 ahead set and commit to X-hours per day until someone takes it down.
So for streaming only one pocket action I feel it would be better to charge by the day or by the half day for X-days.
Perhaps a better format for a (3) discipline challenge match would be to play partial sets of each discipline each day. Start out with the eight ball, then the ten ball and then save the one pocket for last and go over a little if necessary. On the last day go as long as necessary.
Thoughts?
All good points. And I like hearing the chatter. And you are correct, Corey is a very tolerant person and I guess I'm just sticking up for him. Others would have kicked Schmidt in the nutz for talking to them like that, but not Corey.
I'd like to see a round robin cage match with Earl, Dechaine, Hatch, Schmidt and Harriman

John acted like the ass he has been since he was 18. During the podcast i thought maybe things had changed a little. But, NO. Corry took his crap for hours then finally told " i don't talk when you shoot". Basically telling him to shut up.
I wasn't going to watch tonight, but now I have to,just to watch Corry beat John's ass in 10 ball.
If that were the case I know it wouldn't be Mickleson that said that, it would be Tiger Woods without question. He has thrown clubs, F Bombs and showed bad sportmanship over and over again, but if he's not in the tournament the ratings plummet!!! When he's not in the tournament, nobody cares..They don't watch him to see him throw a club or curse but watch because he is a great player and has a colorful personality and is an exciting player to watch...When John recently gambled with Parica, John waited around for hours for Jose to show up because Jose's backer left him stranded. They were suppose to play for $5000. Parica finally showed up but only had around 2k. John said, I totally understand these things happen and they played for the 2k. John beat him pretty easily and Jose wasn't happy and proceeded to tell John he had a 2,000,000 dollar home and he wanted to play more soon and could get the money. John said I have know doubt you can get it but I live in a trailer and I would like to play for $20,000, can you make that happen? That isn't being mean or even cocky, he just wanted him to know that when you come play me bring money..He was just reacting to the moment and making a colorful statement. Look at how many people hate Strickland and his whining. Have you ever went to one of his matches!!! Crowds of people flock around the table he's on and couldn't care less about the kindly and proper players across the room playing their match............They want to watch a great player that's probably either going to destroy his opponent, blow up at his opponent or go crazy wearing more clothes than a homeless man with all his weights and just a lot of pure craziness. They love his game, but it's the "we don't know what's going to happen" in the Earl match syndrome that brings them. Keith McCready didn't have a huge following because he was the greatest living player to ever walk. Don't get me wrong he beat all the best at one time and could really play with a high gear, but I believe he had a huge following because people knew they were going to be entertained and get a ton of Keithisms during his match and probably get quite a few laughs along with his run out 9 ball. His personality is what got him the huge draw. Minnesota Fats wasn't a great player but had a way bigger following than Mosconi because of his personality. John might snivel, make you laugh, play a phenominal series of shots, but usually what ever happens it has some entertainment value. If I ever saw him shark someone to purposely make them miss I would say that is totally wrong, but I know he isn't about that, at least not intentionally.......
John is no Tiger, If John disappears ratings don't change.
It looks like we agree on something. I won't watch as long as JS is a participant.
Just to balance things a little: I won't watch any TARs unless John IS a participant.
Get real people. Why don't you paint-up a picket sign and protest in front of city hall and pitch a tent next door to the Occupy-Vegas camp.
So John chirped a little -- who doesn't. Gimme a break. I know TAR was streaming free to pool halls, but I didn't know it was simulcast in the auditorium of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Come back and b1tch on Latter Day, people. This is pool.

I didn't like it but I think the players miked is a double edged sword. We like the color but some things said are just under thier breath that sounds worse when put out there for all to hear.
How many of us have said...Shit this guy is getting every roll. One Pocket can be funny. An inch in any direction and you can make a bundle of balls. Guy tries a low percentage shot. Moves six balls and you can't find a ball to shoot because the rock stopped HERE. Some stuff was under his breath. Other stuff he was whining at Corey while CD was at the table. That was offside. Period. Full Stop. The guy was fighting for his live and said shit he probably wants back.
What do i know? I paid $35 to watch guys who are better than me.

What do you think...
The folks that *****, moan, blame the table, complain to all the world and shark their opponents think John's behavior was just fine.
The folks that just keep their composure, keep their mouth shut, act like gentlemen and just play think Corey was doing right
Perspective says a lot.

Sick and Tired
I am sick and tired of this BS. Not of the players, but of everyone coming on here and complaining after every Tar Match. These are people and this is their jobs. It is their income. They can act as they want. Quit judging them. You people are a bunch of cry babies. Keep it up, and nobody is going to want to play in a TAR match. Why would they? Everyone comes on here and complains no matter what happens.
Ever wonder why there aren't more pro players on here?

With that being said, thanks Justin, Mark and Kenny and TAR for putting on another great show!! That was 3 days of awesome pool. Thanks to Corey and John for the kick ass play. I have seen quite a few matches on this table and you guys both played really great!! I will look forward to the next one. Congrats to John for winning the all around, you played really strong and you too Corey, it's always a pleasure to watch you both play!!!
I remember that it was at The Commerce Casino in the 90's I believe......haha
