Karl Boyes talking crap

[Cornerman]

I think Earl's admission into the Hall of Fame, as well, was later than it should have been, considering all of the championship titles he holds compared to those inducted earlier than Earl.

Someone should know this, so they'll correct me but....

Earl was 45 years old when he was inducted in 2006. The age limit had been younger previously (Mike Sigel and the Miz were younger, as was Jean), but it had been raised after Sigel was inducted.

However, at some point I believe the age limit was in fact 45 for induction (when they actually set the age limit when previously there may not have been an age limit at all). So Earl's induction might have been right on track as far as the requirements at that time.

Today, the age limit is 40, under the USBMA. IMO, 40 is too young considering how many champions are still pretty solid in competition.

Well, he did just winthe 2014 World Cupof Pool

Royce

And he got carried by Daz. Karl left Daz tough so many times I cant count. They should of just let Niels and Daz play one on one. It would of been a much better match.

I read it the *exact* same way as you did initially. After I read it a few times, I realized it was the opposite of what I had initially interpreted.

Great minds think alike, abs. It was, indeed, a poorly written post.

Oh, yeah, this forum does not allow deleting posts. That is because in the past, disgruntled members deleted all their posts, and so no more deleting allowed after that.

Members have never been able to delete their posts. All a member can do is edit them and erase all the content in them.

That's what Neil did. I have considered it a few times as well. Delicate balance posting on forums. If you give a shit and post thoughtful commentary that you take time to create and then a thread is closed because some jerkoff had to come in and start trolling it's disheartening.

John, there was some guy back in 2004. I think his name was Gremlin. He followed the women's pro tour. Do you remember him? He deleted all his posts, and they put a stop to deleting posts.

Also, on my industry forum software, you can delete a post and a thread as long as nobody has responded to your post or thread. Once they reply, then you cannot delete a thread or a post.

I think that I do remember deleting a post in the old days here in AzBilliards, but it wasn't for anything other than repetitive reasons; IOW, somebody already came with the answer.

That sounds right, Fred. Thanks for providing the facts. :smile:

it's a joke lighten up......I don't bet on pool to get humility.

of course there is a far better chance of me acquiring humility than some folks here ever getting intelligence.

1) "Lighten up" -- Who was upset? Not me

2) "It's a joke" -- A half joke, yes.

3) You've challenged people online for $$ about twenty billion times, so my comment was not inappropriate. "Lighten up"

4) "I don't bet on pool to get humility" -- I'm aware of that. I wasn't implying *you* want to get humble. You've already proven that you are more stubborn than even I am :grin-square:

"I'm a Champion, and you're a chump!"

By the logic on here, why didn't Dennis reply "I have a big break and have won lots of $ in long races", instead of getting upset then?

hysterical! especially since Dennis has 11 inches on him.

i found it interesting, that Karl was surrounded by 4 gorgeous women, and he chose to grab KK9's crotch. makes me wonder if possibly a little more than that statement went down between them....

i know he's English & talking shit is what they do & then everyone gets over it via a beer. but i see some inferiority complex patterns in his statements. regardless, he shoots great pool.

I can't believe you guys! Seriously, Earl Strickland: bullying victim?:rotflmao....

Even if you know that he has issues, this gets annoying after a bit.

Only if you live in Europe I think
