SpiderWebComm said:Wow... I stopped reading this thread since view 5000 or something and man, have I missed a lot.
I should copy/paste this entire thread and send it to Zuffa Entertainment or MTV to make a reality show! It'll be like that show, the Surreal Life---- ya know... that show with Ron Jeremy, Tammy Faye Bakker and Vanilla Ice?? Ron Jeremy was the only guy who didn't mind walking around the naked commune, naked. I wonder why.
Anyways....
I bet if Corvette, JAM, and Blackjack were sharing a house for a month and there were cameras hidden throughout the house.... I wonder who would end up crying in the corner...whimpering, "I just wanna go home....."
HAHAHAHA
*BUMP*
HAHAHAHA
Smorgass Bored said:I have seen a few people in this thread question Grady's displeasure at not being invited to the 14.1 tournament. They wonder why he should be invited, as they feel that he is no threat to win the tournament and the future of pool is the hands of the younger players. While this may be true, it is certainly not the correct or only answer.... imo
Tonight I watched the first episode of this year's WSOP (World Series Of Poker) $10,000 Main event. 74 year old Doyle Brunson was playing in a field of over 6300 players, most of them much younger and the players that will carry poker on to new heights. Doyle Brunson won the WSOP Main event two years in a row ('76 & '77). It has been THIRTY YEARS since he has won the event and he was unlikely to win it this year, but he played and tried.
Doyle was knocked out early in the tournament by a younger player. As he rose to leave, a small smattering of applause began. Without encouragement, the applause grew to a crescendo of thunderous proportions, as the entire room applauded loudly (with many standing). The horde of people applauded Doyle, not for winning the tournament or making the Final table, but for simply participating. They applauded his past accomplishments, his Championships and what he brought to the game.
I think that Grady should be included (by invitation) to participate in 14.1 tournaments, as a sign of respect for what he has' brought to the game' during his lifetime. You might ask, if Grady, why not Varner, Rempe, Sigel, etc. ?
To this, I also ask, why not Varner, Rempe, Sigel, etc., they are all deserving of the applause and respect of the young players of today......
........
Grady, Billy, Rempe, Varner, Sigel, Hall, etc. are the ambassadors of our chosen sport and should be recognized as such. They should be applauded simply for walking into the venue and making an appearance. It doesn't cost ANYTHING to be respectful.

( this is MY opinon, do with it as you please )
JustPlay said:Grady wasn't invited because he is so criticle of alot of things in the pool world and it is catching up with him...
Jude Rosenstock said:How do you know this? Were you on the committee? Did a member of the committee tell you this?
JustPlay said:JR,
Just read the begining thread. Read Grady's comments. This is not something new to this forum or to pool. Read Gradys past threads... Grady is not a happy person...
Jude Rosenstock said:How do you know this? Were you on the committee? Did a member of the committee tell you this?
crosseyedjoe said:I think JustPlay is on to something. Even I will not invite someone who doesn't like me.
Blackjack said:LOL
I'm all for it - just make sure to toss in TheOne, Timberly, Marissa, Fast Larry, Smorg, Debra, Eric, Kristi Carter, Kevin Varney, Willibetmore and Breakup - that would be good reality television!
btw...
I don't cry easily...
Blackjack said:What about your attempts to flame everybody else? Why is it that when you disagree or tug on the nerves of others it always ends with you screaming for the moderators? After a while, perhaps they will see that it might be YOU that is the problem.
Blackjack said:There hits a point when people will grow tired of you throwing your weight around and they will just stand up to you. IMO, you're not a player. Keith is.
Blackjack said:I respect him immensely for all that he is done. He is a legend worthy of all that comes with being a legend. He has earned that and I fully admit he is more of aplayer than I can ever hope and pray to be.
Blackjack said:You are NOT Keith. I will respect you as a person - and I will give you the respect I give everybody else, but I will not respect some of the things that you say in this forum and the things that have gotten back to me through the grapevine.
Blackjack said:You not only argue with me, you argue with several others on a constant basis, so I don't feel as if I am out of line for pointing any of this out.
Blackjack said:You know I have taken strides to move forward from all of the butterness that has existed between us. I'm not moving forward any with that any more. I'll let you, Dave Wilson, Mike Howerton know that as well. Enough is enough.
Jude Rosenstock said:Who doesn't like Grady?
crosseyedjoe said:I'm not siding with anyone, but I think it's more like "who Grady doesn't like and not who doesn't like Grady." There's a difference.
JAM said:I post and adhere to the AzBilliards Discussion Forum rules. If I have a different opinion than somebody, I state it. I don't go PM-ing people on the offs trying to gather a posse so that I can play a friendly game of forum tag-team, as if I have to gather my troops and allies before the big forum war.
If I go to the moderator about a problem, then it is because I am experiencing difficulties with what I deem to be an antagonistic poster. The moderator can choose to act or not act. It is their discretion. I will contact the moderator whenever I feel a problem is developing, to avoid any unpleasantries on this forum.
I never represented myself to be a player. So what is your point? I have no right to express opinions on this forum because I am not a pool player?
Save the fluff for somebody who gives a damn. You're addressing ME in this post, not Keith. Remember?
You and your forum grapevine, what a joke. If I were to post up what others have said to me about you via phone, e-mail, and PMs, it would be mean-spirited of me to do so. I'll just leave it at that.
I do express my opinions when I feel strongly about a topic. As you know, because of your wealth of experience posting on forums, some posters enjoy flaming. I'm sure you've met a few of these types in your travels on the Internet, and I'll venture to guess you may know some of them extremely well.
On AzBilliards, I try to avoid flames, but I won't stand down from someone who insults me, targets me, tag-teams me, PMs others about me, and disseminates other niceties for the sole purpose to create havoc and disconsternation. You see, David, if I have something to say to somebody, I try to do it right here up front in their face, as opposed to behind their back.
In case you haven't noticed, I gave up a long time ago caring about what you think about my opinions because I think yours are just plain screwy.
JAM
EDITED FOR SPELLING/TYPO AND THAT'S ALL!
Blackjack said:You need to realize that your posts are hostile, mean spirited, nasty and vicious at times.
Blackjack said:Like I said, I will respect you as I respect anybody else in person and here in this forum, but respect is a two way street. Instead of moaning and crying and pointing fingers at the UPA and all the ancient history, move forward and try to see what you can do to be part of the solution.
Blackjack said:As far as what others say about me behind my back, my ears haven't heard any of it so I can only guess their nuts are like little microscopic bb's. Offense intended to all that applies to. Good night.
