Joshua Filler withdrawn from the Mosconi Cup!

[garczar]

Yes, isn't it hilarious that serious fans of the pro game care whether they can expect to see the best possible fields at pool's major championships? Really, why would they care?

It's your every right to not care, but don't mock those of us who actually care about how all this will affect the pro game and the players' ability to earn a living at this game.

Ditto. I was gonna say basically same thing. Don't follow it fine, just leave this thread alone. This whole thing has become a comic sideshow to real pool. Filler needs to come out and just say' Hey, i dogged it big time. Apologies to all.' Move on.

Can someone explain what's going on like I'm five? What's the history? What's the WNT?

Just out of curiosity, who owns Absolute Pool? And who are the reporters or "news disseminators"?

Website: https://absolute-pool.com/

Sure looks like a MR/WNT news service.

Do your own homework. There's a 'SEARCH' function on here that can wonders for the clueless. Try to keep up with the rest of the class. There will be a test later.

I have… and I don’t understand what the fuss is about… this is why I asked.

Still under a contract the exact terms of which we will most likely never see. Just because they aren't getting a stipend/salary doesn't mean MR/WNT can't suspend/ban for contract violations. Contact is just a signed agreement between two parties, payment of any kind is not required for it be valid.

Offer, acceptance, and consideration are the three main elements of a legally binding contract

WPA only wants the kids to play in their toybox.

MR wants the kids to play in the MR toybox, but is ok if they also play in the WPA toybox, as long as they make an effort to play with the MR toys when the fancy toys come out to play.

Josh didn’t play with the fancy MR toys when he had the chance so MR took them away from him.

You forgot to mention that MR only has Tonka Toys, and Josh likes other kinds, even Parker Brothers.

Can we just get back to playing great POOL and fade the damn POLITICS already. Me thinks there's MUCH more here than meets the eye,(and it's all about MONEY, not pool!)

Mosconi, Greenleaf, Reyes, Bustamante, Orcullo, Pagalayan, Strickland, Archer, SVB, and many others...

Does Filler really deserve Top 5 ranking of all time? He certainly has some great titles and his stats are unquestionable...but does longevity have any say in the matter? I mean, a quarterback who is best in the NFL for a few seasons isn't guaranteed the HOF, no matter how dominant....much less put in front of the likes of Brady, Bradshaw, Montana, Young, Favre, etc who all did it for more than a decade...

There have been times, such as when FSR, was winning everything a couple years ago, where Filler wasn't much of a factor.

You have been a huge Filler guy since at least 2017 when I really started paying attention, and Again, his stats since he turned pro are phenomenal, but top 5 all time...in his mid 20's? Not arguing, just wondering if that is your real belief or hyperbole.

Good post.

He hasn’t stood the test of time yet. Hes not even 30.

Yes likely he will be on the short list of all time greats. His talent is clear, it has been for a decade. He works hard, and doesn’t appear to have any leaks or habits that will interrupt his career.

Will be interesting to see what happens. I happen to have met him a few times, well a bit more and I like him, he has my respect. Some ppl don’t seem to like him, but that’s not my issue. Aside from pool he’s pretty funny actually. Had a couple laughs with him. I hope his career doesn’t get cut short by politics.

Best

You'd kill at this. lol...

Confusion

A very confusing game, Confusion. There are 3 dice: a color die, a word die, and an action die. Each die has a background color and some other piece of information. If the word on the word die and the color on the color die don't match, be the first to throw out a card of the color that is...
