i couldnt win a game of scrbble if my life depended on it, it would be ugly,
Monopoly on the onher hand the window is open, I would actulaay like to play someone who can beat me cosistantly at that game, my friend was a top rated online player i'm up 10-1 right now on him, the dice got me on the 1 loss I had. he wont play anymore,
Grady
has done lots for the sport. Isn't it amazing, how all these 'wannabes' want someone to retire because they still can not beat them on the table ... ROFL
kids, glad they are someone else's .... LMAO
IgMo - Have you ever heard of 'Time in rank'? Well, Grady has plenty.
Besides, Grady probably gets pissed at a**holes trying to '1 up' him all the time, I would to.
I'm 60, why don't you try to come and retire me, on the table? Bring lots of cash!

Well now,
Back in the mid 80's, I used to go to the tournaments in Dayton Ohio. Forest Park Billiards was always loaded with Champions gambling. I watched countless times while Freddie and Grady gambled. Those will always be some of my favorite memories of pool. I haven't spoken with Freddie much, other than to say hi. But I've had the pleasure of chatting with Grady a few times. As I started reading this thread the other day, it just amazed me. For someone to come on here and say stuff like,"Grady needs to quit. Leave pool alone to help it's image and quit setting a bad example". It's sickening. My guess is, this person hasn't been around pool all that long. What has Grady done for pool? Let's see, He's a Living Legend. Right along side Freddie, Billy Incardone, Buddy Hall, Allen Hopkins, and a slew of other Greats. Does he play the same speed today? NO. Will you ever play near his speed when he was younger? I doubt it. Few will.
My rule for life in general is, if you don't like someone, stay away from them. If you don't like Grady, don't go to his room. If you see him at a tournament, don't talk to him. Leave the man alone and let him run his life. If he wants to gamble, it's his money. If he wants to compete in tournaments, it's because he loves pool. Is he outspoken? Yea, he is. He has that passion for pool, even after all this time. He's done more for pool than most of us will ever do.
Every person you ever meet, will have good points and bad points. When you step back and look at their list, and they have more bad points than good, maybe you should stay away from them. But everyone is entitled to live their life, in the manner they choose. I personally would like to see Grady play til he decides he don't want to any more. His GOOD POINTS, definitely outweigh his bad.

Nice post SP
A lot of the time, it's guys who have only been around the pool world for a couple{5 years or less} years who talk about the older guys don't have it. And generally, it will turn out to be just an average player, who thinks they know it all. I agree with you that Grady has done much to help pool.Southpaw said:

Hey snap, did you play jam up bar table and had backers with big pocket in TX? Did you also have a lady friend, in her day, played dam good, were U the one with that obnoxious BUS/Road machine?
FWIW I did see Grady beat Buddy Hall in his late prime in Reno 11-0.
Grady has no quit in him, only readjust and keep it going.
