Thanks Jay. Next I'm in L.A. You owe me a Ruben on Rye.

Course, I was born in 1981, so I doubt I'd have run into you back then. Do you still go there?

JCIN said:What "Professional" produced events has given us:
Race to 7
Alternate break
Being bumped from air by womens golf
IPT music video style production
Sigel calling the greatest player ever by the wrong name every time (Efrem)
ESPN gaffe game invitationals (Texas hold 'em pool, 7 ball, "Tournament of Champions" that comes down to 1 guy hoping he gets to break the last rack.)
What Pat Fleming and Accu-Stats have given us:
A record of the worlds best players in full length events.
The greatest commentary ever (Incardona, Grady, Davenport, Hall, and Varner to name a few)
The single most valuable teaching resource available to new and old players.
Solid watchable events without all the "Gee Whiz" VFX and swoopy camera crap.
They defined the standard of what a great pool production should be.
You can have MTV and HBO. I'll take Pat Fleming and Accu-Stats any day.

JAM said:I think -- and I may be wrong -- that one of the Fusco "cousins" was on the player list for the "world" championship in New Jersey. Did they get in via a qualifier, I wonder, or were they invited because of their legendary status in the history of American pool?

1. i agree that many matches would be lost if accu stats was not here.
2. Accu stats charges WAY to much for a match on DVD.
3. Accu stats charges WAY to much for a match on DVD.
4. I'm glad other people are getting into the filming of pool matches. I hope compatition provides better, more, and cheaper dvd's.
jay helfert said:I just want to say to all my friends on here. This is the first time I ever got mad at anyone on AZ. A couple of other guys have said some pretty stupid things on here and woofed at me, but that never bothered me.
But when this guy went off on Pat Fleming and Accu-Stats, I just about lost it. Pat is one of the people I most respect in the Pool world for many reasons, only one of which is his video production company.
I have known Pat since he was primarily a top ranked Straight Pool player. I know him to be a man of high integrity and honor. And one dedicated to bettering the sport of pool for all to enjoy. For those of you who are new here, Pat devised the Accu-Stats rating system for pool players that is still the most accurate one ever created IMO. This was prior to his video business.
I could not stand by and give this "clown" any breathing room after his first insult ridden post. And as long as he choses to post on here, I will be on his ass until I hear a sincere and meaningful apology to Pat Fleming. "Buddy", you were way out of line!
cleary said:First of all, Accustats as a video production company is like a bunch of damn monkeys trying to launch a spaceship. They are a joke. Just horrible, have no idea what they are doing and should find new jobs. They make pool look bad to the whole world on national tv. They kill the sport....rob it of its beauty.
Second off..... Grady, if you wanted to go to the World Straight Pool Championships so damn bad.... you could have qualified for them. I respect you as a player and what you have done in pool but crying on the internet isnt going to help your situation. If you have something to prove, do it on the table not with your mouth.
tap tap tap... i dont think it could have been said any better Mr. Incardona...wincardona said:So, you're 25 years old and have the market cornered on knowing what to do.That makes perfect sense to me.And you have a way with words ,really, as you so eloquently expressed your feeling of what a bad production co. Accustats is. You handled that like the true professional that you are.I would like to have your business card,to keep you in mind for anything that may come up, that I might think you would qualify for. I'll put it in my don't forget about me file It's not often that you run across someone as polished as you at a young age.![]()

In regard to your suggestion to Grady ,to qualify on the table not with your mouth,is something that maybe you should practice. Grady has qualified many times,unlike you. Grady and I go round and round at times,but he certainly deserved to be invited to The World Pool Championships. I would like to say that I appreciated your post,but I can't . It was in very poor taste. And maybe some day i'll have the opportunity to tell you how I really feel about you. Have a not so nice day. Bill Incardona
