Earls Ways

[5ballcharlie]

What is the craziest thing that anyone has seen earl do? This can be good stuff or bad stuff. The strangest behavior I seen was this years open when he played souquet on the tv table. I will not go into detail, I am sure you know what I am talking about

When he fired a cueball between my legs from another table trying to get a rise out of me. I didn't want to play him cause I had other things on my mind and at the time I didn't even know who he was then. I think it unnerved him when I ignored it and went ahead with my shot. It would have unnerved him even more if I'd walked over to let him know what I thought about it.

Mumbling "maybe I really can't play anymore" after a wanna-be shortstop put him out of a tourney about a year ago.

In the expo I met Earl the first time. I asked Earl to take a picture with me. He was very friendly and after he took the picture, he asked the person holding the camera to show him the picture. He then asked that person to take another one for us since the first one was a bit too small. I was very impressed.
He also spent a lot of time talking to his fans and he was very well spoken.
I was in the US Open and I saw what happened between him and Ralf. I have no idea why he would behave that way.
Nevertheless, I will never forget how he took the time and went out of his way to make sure I had a good picture with him. He did not come across as someone full of himself at all. Despite what have been said about him, I am still very impressed by how much of a gentleman he was the first time I met him.

I agree with this statement since later when he continued to try and get me in a game and I told him I needed to get back home to my ill grandmother he dropped it and was apologetic. 10 minutes after arriving back at my grandmothers the ambulance arrived.
He was just trying to get a game but he DOES have a tendancy to get a little crazy around the pool table. If the ball had hit me he might have been the one in the hospital that night.

Seems like whenever I see Earl play a match on TV, he always has a problem with the crowd as a whole or just one person in it. Whether it is someone taking his picture or someone walking around in the background or someone sneezing or booing Earl. Other players just shrug it off, Earl deems it necessary to say something and make an ass out of himself.

I dont know, I never met the guy in person and he is a great pool player, no doubt about that. I am never in the same situation as him so I dont know how I would handle it either.
