Prolly cause he couldn't make a ball if he wasn't running his mouth! :grin: :yeah:
Reminds me of Alex telling Frosty "If you just shut the f**k up, I will beat you... I promise!"

Hmm....somebody mention mum pool?
Danny D told this story in Milwaukee 20 years ago.
A heavy in Phillly liked to give up action...they were running out of new opponents...
....so they imported Larry Johnson, who many know as Boston Shorty.
...now Larry, for some reason, decided to present himself as a deaf mute.
...so he’s got the guy stuck pretty good....but he messes up a shot...got lucky and hooked him..
...so the guy pushes out (roll out still being style played)...Larry is still upset with himself
for missing a hanger....in that raspy voice of his, he says “Go ahead.”...
...guy gets down to shoot.....stands back up....says...”HE SPOKE!”....
Well, that was the end of the silence.....and the action.

Oops... Shorty and his big mouth. Whaddayagonnado... :grin:
Odd... most people just called him Grady. But I sure as hell don't remember him being wrong very often.
One time at a tournament, I busted a really mouthy guy for @ 1K getting the breaks when I could've been giving him the 8. About half way through one of his buddies came up and said to me "C'mon man... you don't need the breaks. Play him even." I said "He's a world-beater... Let him win it back like he lost it..."
Case closed.
Nobody ever told me, I found out for myself. Ya gotta believe in foolish miracles. It's not how you play the game
It's if you win or lose. ..you can choose

Dick Lane told me that Randy once told him he (Randy) had a good way to make money. He was going to charge people to attend stakehorses seminars, taught by Randy. If you knew Randy, that's hilarious.
Don, that's Randy to the core. I used to go to his room that was in downtown Tulsa. NEVER a dull moment believe me. At some out-of-town tournament he once got two different horses to stake the same match. He figured if he could keep them far enough apart he was good-2-go. Guy had more moves than Mayflower.

Yeah, heard that quote from Grady doing commentary on a pool match...
And....
"Efren, don't stand in my line of vision tonight!"
I was just watching that Grady / Efren match about 2 or 3 days ago on Youtube!

There you go!... great match.. Efren shooting from everywhere, fearless!
That one out Grady made was great... a little of the old Grady.
Not all the time, but more than just a few times, Grady refused to play someone if he knew they weren't betting their own cash. And if he knew you were posting your own, he wanted to bet as high as you would go. He was something else back in the mid to late 70s into the early to mid 80s... and a lot after that as well but back then, pretty much nobody was really eager to match up with him playing one hole. A few of course... Bugs, Ronnie, etc. But not many.
