I just put this in a thread but thought it would make a good thread:
No matter what I'm the new Sheriff in town. I'm not KT promising to make pool players rich, I dont have anything to sell, what I want to do Is generate interest in pool and pool has pleanty of good players, Pool needs a charcter and thats me. I'm not a one trick pony and will carry the day until I leave pool again, Years ago I was a little known rail bird/player but not any more, I'm far far from being a top player but I'm good action, a charcter(something pool needs badly) and my goal is to be loved/liked/respected/tollerated. I hope no one hates me, if you do please confront me.
I will carry the day and I will be in the 10 ball ring game next year and anything else I can manage, I'm trying to get a deal with TAR to come play in SD every 3-6 months if there are enough buys, big $$$ and me getting a big spot. I came to Nashville to play Bartrum but my back is to bad to play period. You can bet that I will be fun to watch in action as I talk to the balls, rails, etc not to shark who I'm playing if I bother them I shut up, I'm a gentalman to play, but I believe the balls do listen.
Eric's goal is to make "Fatboy" a household name in pool, give pool a shot in the arm and show people that anyone can have fun playing pool. I been around pool since 85 dropped out of the "scene" for 10 years but still played 6 of the 10 I was off the radar, when I came back I decided I wanted to do something other than be a rail bird and unknown player that has my plan here since day one and until I had a plan I kept myself mostly private(thanks to the 30 of you who respected that) some guys I made friends with here and not one of them sold me out, good solid stand up guys, you know who you are thanks again!!!. Its not an ego thing, i swear on my moms grave its to show people pool is fun, and anyone can make it fun. This is what pool needs not the B-itching, nits, negitative attitude that permiates pool. I cant fix it but I'm gonna do my best to make pool a fun game, didnt we all start playing for that reason? where did we lose that along the way? I was real negitative before I took some time off. Not anymore. And that changed my life for the better, when I came back to pool I saw just how negitive it can be and thats the cancer of this game, can I fix it? NO, but I wont be around it or create it.
So Fatboy is here to stay, i'm gonna do my best to give pool a uplift(not make inflated claims of $$$ etc), I'm gonna be in tough action with the TAR guys I hope it sells for them, I wont play in games that are blow-outs, I will win and lose but you can be rest assured that if they work with me and I can find the right games they will be fun and on a kinda regular basis. I dont know what else I'm gonna do, just be me here as usual. Who knows but Fatboy is a fun, real, approachable and not full of shit.
this post is my reply to the huge volume of posts here this past week about what happened at the Derby and me sharing who I am. I showed up at the ring game and felt great(my mom would have been in the front row) I will bet I wont be the first guy out next year, we'll book that action come game time., I asked tooth for a bet as promised(did happen...oh well) I promis other things in the future, I hope I dont disappoint anyone. i'm havin fun say what you like and have fun with me, thats what its all about. I know the pros who do this for a living have a different out look and I respect that and am not making a mockery of their living, it is tragic how little they are rewarded for what they do, I cant help them(unless I make a bad game with one)
so there it is I priobably left off alot of stuff and pissed a few more people off, sorry if I did, like I said find me if I upset you, my pm box is full often so have a bit of patience, i wont ignore anyone intentionally.

Calling yourself the Sheriff sounds a lot like someone giving them self a cool nickname rather than having earned it.
