9 in a row. Now that is something that's not a play on words.
"People who collect a paycheck for the event have opinions that are probably a little biased".
Really Richardson?
I trust you are not referring to me or Mark Wilson. He worked all year bringing his team together for a weekend payday and I Sir have not missed one Mosconi Cup. So you must know that I get paid regardless of who the captain is on either team.
What a very silly thing to say.
OK, my last post on this subject.
I'm a big fan of Darren and in fact the whole European team.
BUT would I bet them against Shane in a race to say 50 - not unless I'm wearing somebody else's pants.
And I expect if there is anyone out there that would be willing to test that theory, maybe you Satori, Shane is quite easy to find.
Nice post jim,
wow sartori really?get off the guys back
No he didn't. He only ever beat a horse in a rigged race - the horse being startled by the starters gun gave him the jump on it. A human *can* beat a horse in a 100M race, it has happened - the horse's greater mass allows the human to get up to speed quicker, but the horse is always gaining fast at the 100M mark. But Owens? He never won without the jump. All eye-witness accounts of the Owens race state that he did not give it a 20 yard head start, those accounts were all second-hand.Lol, Hey Satori ever hear of an athlete named Jesse Owens?
He actually beat the horse giving it a 20 yard head start back in 1948 in California.

You have to say, as much as it hurts, that whatever he was trying to do absolutely failed. I don't know what that means for next year, but I think taking a cold hard look at the truth is the first step.
Great job in the booth, good luck on your new room.I wanted to address a few points from an inside perspective if you will.
The younger players will be that much better for this event and trust me, they will tell all of their friends and anybody that asks them that they have no idea what its like over there, none. Words can't describe the feeling these guys lived in real time. And John Schmidt was as classy as any USA fan could ever have asked for
His performance was muted by the format and that is the simple truth. A man can beat a thoroughbred horse in a 100 yard dash, stretch it out a bit and good luck to that man. Shane is a thoroughbred - period!
Its tough to explain but I can only put it down to the fact that team Europe gel and accept the team event
All the very best over the holidays. Health and Prosperity to all!

"In spite of his fame on his return from Berlin, Owens struggled for money and began to participate in stunt races against dogs, motorcycles and even horses during halftime of soccer matches and between doubleheaders of Negro League baseball games. Owens would start 40 yards ahead of his equine competitors before sprinting for 100 yards, and he would often win by a nose. “People said it was degrading for an Olympic champion to run against a horse,” Owens said, “but what was I supposed to do? I had four gold medals, but you can’t eat four gold medals.”
I don't mind the analogy, but the way you stated it is wrong. Being correct always helps to tell the right story
...he nor his team mates didn't quit on the team philosophy at any time and THAT is why Mark Wilson picked them. They brought respect and honor to the sport and that is where it all needs to start again.
