Here you have a professional pool player in the truest sense and he doesn't have one sponsor, other than that nut lock artist, Purdman who never passes up an easy buck.
Seriously, here is a guy who has all of the All-American qualities an athlete should have: Besides super-talented, dedicated, professional, personable, good-looking (or so the ladies say,) healthy, smart and POPULAR. They say that his signed photograph was in the greatest demand of any U.S. OPen Champion EVER............................................. The guy should be contacted by Wheaties cereal. He's as clean as they come in both senses of the word. He's plays golf pretty sporty (but we won't hold that against him).
I would imagine he will be called up for the Mosconi Cup, the $50,000 winner take all tournament in Connecticut and many other invitationals and he deserves them all.
So, when and who is the "next" sponsor going to jump on the Gravy Train of Mr. 400?
If one of the glove guys doesn't give him a good deal on a glove sponsorship, I'm going to start importing printed pool gloves from the Orient and cut John in on the action. I'm sure we can make a "special" All-American - John Schmidt glove. Gee, that's too long. Got any ideas for a name for a John Schmidt Glove. It will be black only and no leather or other fancy BS. Simple and effective is what the glove is all about. Material will probably be 85% Nylon and 15% Spandex. Any thoughts or ideas?
Oh, yeah, who would like to take pool lessons from John Schmidt? List your contact information and I will forward it to him. You can PM me or John. I think he is still reading AZ but it is hard for him to type and so he hardly ever responds. I hope his few detractors will leave him alone and let him enjoy his year of EARNED glory.

I thought it was Alex Pagulayan (okay, I'm a smartass). Year before that it was Gabe Owen (another marketable fellow).
