If someone was from Canada like that i would be embarass to be a Canadian. WAell if he was from Canada, would you be still defending him or attacking him. Probably be attacking him.Tom In Cincy said:I'm wondering if Earl was from Canada, if this statement would still be posted?
Earl Strickland is a champion pool player and has an attitude. So what? This isn't anything new in the world of sports.
Once in the public's eye, sports champs are always picked on. Maybe just for something to talk about.
I would be very proud to ask Earl into my home. Away from the pool table Earl is one fine human being.
At the pool table.. he is DOOM..
I would be thrilled, but i wont be rubbing it on the guys face, it's just not right. The opposite happened to me in a local tourny where i was winning 4-1 and ended up losing 5-4. Now when i was on the nine when it was 4-4 i told the guy i hope i don't choke, and the guy said that was his style not mine. But i choked and he ended up winning the guy, i said good comback and good game. The guy was thrilled but he wasn't shouting or anything like that. Just shook my hand and calmly told his friends that he made a comback. Now i was pissed really pissed, ended up drinking alot of beers, and in my mind I was saying to myself to the guy "You lucky fat bastard, you're soo damn lucky and I could have sent you home packing chubby" But i didn't i gave him a smile and praised him for his comeback.jjinfla said:Here in central Florida we get many Canadians come and visit us. The locals have a saying about them. They come here with a nice clean shirt and a crisp $20.00 bill, and while here never change either. Oh yeah, they pass off their coins for US coins which is out and out stealing.
When I play, the only thought on my mind when I am sitting in the chair is for my opponent to miss so I can get back to the table. If I would happen to be in the finals of a big match and it was hill hill and my opponent hung the case 9 in the pocket you would hear a shout of joy from me. Although my mind would be saying "be cool Jake, be cool". LOL I suppose you guys would say something condescending like, "gee, how did you miss that shot" or" thought you had me there". Or the real liberals would tell him to go ahead and take the shot over. LOL Yeah, right.
Saw Mika on TV jump up and run to the table when his opponent missed a shot. Almost pushed the guy out of the way. Even the commentators commented about how fast he went to the table.
That's pool guys.

Exactly...who the hecks tells a foxy lady like Michael to shut up, poor sexy ladysniper said:As much as I respect Earl and his incredible talents, I must say he disgraced the world of billiards when he told Michela to "shut up" on live T.V.
How can people support him for doing this? do you think it was right? give me a break, Earl is a grown man and needs to act a little more mature and responsible than he did during his match with Davis.
P.S.
I was glad to see a Canadian advance further than Earl did in the WPC.

He didn't whine like a 3 year old, babble nonsense at the audience, or grab his toys so he could run home to pout like Earl does.
