Favorite accu-stat commentator quotes

[JMD in VA]

Classic Grady!

Grady was talking about an aging tennis player making a small comeback in the pro's. He said "he aches and he moans he's sore and he's old." Scott Smith said "Like us, right." Grady said "Yeah exactly like us......except he's got a cute girlfriend."


My favorite though is:

I know all about the vagaries of 9 Ball it reminds me a lot of marriage............the unfairness of it.

So good!

Grady commentating on a 1P match: "He would shoot at a hospital ship."

I have a vhs tape of Sigel vs. Hall somewhere and Grady and Billy are doing the commentary. At some point, Grady says he has no problem buying Billy dinner as long as he can sit at a different table.

Grady Matthews on Santos Sambajon in the U.S. open.

"He sure would like to have that shot back as he struck it like an 80 year old woman."

Danny Di Liberto doing commentary for Accustats. I can't remember who the players were but one was some new young gun that Danny had never seen play before but who was supposed to be really great. After the young guy was soundly defeated Danny said, (paraphrasing here) "Well, he may know a million shots, but apparently none of them came up this match."

Billy Incardona said that he plays pool from the announcer's booth better than anyone in the world.

Some of these are just priceless!

Of course there's always Danny's retort about his wallet...

Billy will say something like: He tried to bank that ball three rails...or he tried to cut that ball.

Danny will reply: "He banked his wallet"...:grin:

Or: "He cut his wallet...!"

I can't help but notice that nobody quoted any Jimmy Wych lines... Does anybody feel that Accu-Stats is better after replacing Grady with Jim Wych????? I sure don't.

A couple more from Danny Diliberto.

When a player banks a ball, Danny always says that the player is from Kentucky. He says this because they play a lot of bank pool in Kentucky.

When a player shoots a shot opposite handed, Danny says that the shooter is 'amphibious' instead of ambidextrous.

There's a defensive shot that comes up a lot in one pocket where the object ball is frozen to the end rail and you knock the object ball up table and kill the cue ball on the end rail by hitting the shot firm with a lot of top spin. Dr. Dave refers to the effect of this shot as 'rail dribble.' Danny calls this shot 'high karate.'

A few of my favorites not mentioned:
( Grady after watching Billy Incardona attempt a 4 or 5 rail kick AND pocketing the ball ) "You know that's disgusting...
we'll be listening to this for the next six months."

( Buddy Hall commenting on Keith McCready's failed position after a pocketed ball ) "[ Laughing in his deep voice ]
Ooo he didn't get over...Oh I know that stroke perfect!"





A few quotes mentioned that I just love:

from Drawman623:
After a player's nasty miscue:

"I think the only sound worse than that is when the wife says 'Grady I've got some papers for you to sign'"

"That shot is fraught with peril."


from JohnnyOzone:
Grady talking about getting married for the fourth time:

"If this one doesn't work out, then every five years I'm just going to find a woman I hate and buy her a house."


from incognito:
( Danny Diliberto )
"He played the wrong shot perfectly." The player played a questionable shot and still ran out.
...

His backer just took a big shot of whiskey after that shot.

->>> Also that match was a hill hill match with Jose Parica and a Canadian player who's name escapes
me at the moment.

From Grady:

"I suspect all pool players are possessed of talents possibly better utilized elsewhere."

Pool just ain't gonna be the same without ol' Grady....

In a certain accu-stats 9-ball video, it was hill and hill. Johnny Archer and Jimmy Fusco were playing. Both players were struggling in this last game and failing to run out. Danny Diliberto said the following about Fusco after about his third or fourth inning at the table: "I guess this is his last chance to not get out."

............

grady - " with my new wife i dont wake up everyday to something that resembles a beached whale"

grady - after billy incardona did not shoot an offensive shot in a one pocket game - " thats of the highest order of cowardness"


cornbread red - when asked if he ever played artie b. one pocket - " no we are friends" (meaning he wanted no part of it - it was funny the way he said it - he had buddy cracking up)

Danny D's comment while watching two players who were both playing poorly in a hill hill match:
"They should just flip a coin for this one."

Billy I commentating about Earl Strickland in a match with NO shot clock and Earl is playing really fast. Earl misses a shot he had to really stretch for...

"Well Earl didn't have time to get the bridge."

I just remembered another thing I heard Danny Diliberto said on an accu-stats video. People always want to know what the best cue in the whole world is so that get can get themselves that best of all cues. Danny said that pretty much all that matters is that the cue is straight and that you're comfortable with the weight and the tip. He also said that if there was one cue that was better than all of the other cues, everybody would be shooting with that same cue.
