I want to thank everyone for all the kind words on the forum, and in emails that I've received. Last night was a really fun time sitting in the booth for an hour or so.
I had only done pool commentary once before, and that was way back in 1995 or 96 I believe. It was at one of CJ Willey's events in LA, and I got to do a little commentary with Tony Annigoni.
I had a good time doing it last night, and it was fun working with Mike Sigel. I know he got on a lot of people's nerves, and Sigel says a lot of egotistical stuff, but to me it's mostly a part of his shtick. He said most of it with a big smile on his face. He has a huge ego, which is what made him such a great player in his day, and now he enjoys bragging. It didn't bother me, in fact I actually enjoyed it. Maybe that's because I was there, and because I have a pretty high tolerance for people like that.
Grady's commentary was and always is excellent.
It was great to finally meet him after all the years I've listened to his commentary on Accu Stats. We even made plans to get together and practice a little the next time he comes to LA which I look forward to very much.
Congrats to Tony Robles! He's a great player, and a really nice guy. I've known Tony for over 15 years now, and he's one of the nicest guys in the game and a credit to his profession.
