What are my credentials? Lets just say, if you watch tv.... you have seen my work. Ive made something for almost every major network....MTV, Comedy Central, HBO, NBC, CBS, Discovery Channel, A&E, ESPN, as well as countless other clients. I think I know what Im talking about when it comes to quality. One of the biggest reason why poker is so popular right now is because of "the world series of poker"....... a show I have done work for. I know what it takes to make something worth watching to the general public and if someone has the funding, Ill be right there.
This guy's comments are really tickling my funny bone!
In case you didn't know, WSOP and other poker TV shows are on TV thanks to the monies invested by non-poker-related sponsors, like Hershey's Candies, Hertz, Planter's Peanuts, and many others I can't think of right now.
It is because of the OUTSIDE non-poker-related monies that poker is on TV as often as it is. These sponsors want to see their NAME BRAND on TV, which is why they spend monies for these poker TV shows.
Pool, on the other hand, is sponsored by POOL-related monies. The pool industry members are already stretched thin and only have so much in their bankroll for advertising. There are no OUTSIDE pool-related sponsors to speak of, which is why POOL isn't on TV except at times during the day when everybody is at work or at night when everybody is asleep.
I've got a brilliant idea where you can show us all how it's done. Like Grady Mathews has done, investing his life in the game of pool, promoting pool tournaments with little chance to break even, and traveling around the country putting on exhibitions all in the name of pool, why don't you do the same. Create a pool TV broadcast and show us all how it's done, but do it in the name of pool for free.
Oh, you're 25 years old? You weren't even an itch in your daddy's pants yet when Grady Mathews was winning world-championship one-pocket titles.
