here are my suggestions on making pool the biggest sport in the u.s.a. 1st. i would show 8-ball and only 8-ball. the masses understand the game already, why fuck around with 9-ball?! next, i would have earl strickland play against allison fisher. i would try to get strickland real pissed off before the live match. this way, the world would be gripped by this "prick" of pool! whilst, the good looking meg ryanish british mz. fisher, becomes the innocent victim of his crazy eyes, and comments, the results? instant ratings! i would pitch this to the abc network. they take chances with the millionaire show with regis, why not this? heck, i've seen celebrity poker pop up! GIVE ME A FUCKING break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! celebrity poker, is like watching flys fuck, very, very boring! next, i would have abc spend millions of dollars in advertising. allison fisher would be on david letterman, strickland on leno, both of them on larry king, and charlie rose. by bus stops and on buses major promotional posters throughout the major cities, you'd see their faces huge on buildings in manhattan, los angles and chicago. every man women and child would know their names. and last but not least, i would have the commentaters speak in a elegent british manor, not like fucking mitch and ewa, who should get the fuck out of town! who sent these assholes? why do you think golf has high ratings, besides tiger????? because the british announcers sound classy, educated, and very distinguished, none of this, horrible commentating that makes the well informed lower the volume in a big fucking hurry! well there! that's how i'd make pool huge, and eventually, cut the bullshit, with strickland and all that, and just introduce really fine professional well behaved players, such as mika immonen and ralf souquet. bottom line is this, pool needs respect, fucking respect, it needs it now more than ever before. too much loud music in pool halls, too many non-pool players, smiling on commercials and in the movies, the vast majority of the u.s. feels pool is a sport for children or for people out on a date, it's a bullshit game, that's what people feel about it. let's change that aspect of it. golf is not exciting, yet it's huge, why? besides tiger, it is presented as a difficult game, a noble game, where if someone blasted music while trying to make a shot, you'd be arrested! in a pool hall, the music is blaring shit music! once again, the bottom line is pool needs to be shown as serious business. when they broadcast repeats from the espn zone in baltimore, it's a BLOODY FUCKING JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the backround noise is filled with schmucks screaming, as they play there video games! pool is considered a game for schmucks and hoodlums, let's change that, by e-mailing abc, and just maybe, in the not too distant future, espn will be begging for the rights to broadcast pool live, begging for "one more chance"

Holy cow, man, you are really worked up about this.
Like the idea of challenge matches, though. It seems to me that people like to see big money matches. If champions bet small and eggs bet high who will the spectators watch?
Therefore, I wonder if it would be possible to change to a challenge match type format like boxing. And maybe get the players (or their backers) to put up big dollars. I think the TV public might really like that. This format would have the added benefit of flexibility in match ups. If everyone wants to see Strickland play McCready they wouldn't have to make the semifinal of a tournament together, they could just play. Take a look at George Foreman's one last fight. Is he the best boxer around? I doubt it. But it'll draw the fans!

Just a thought,
 
Bernie, with all due respect we could do without all the vulgar language. There are kids who read this board.

yes, a feature match, would be key, and yes, i should stop cursing, guess fast larry is rubbing off on me, and that ain't good.
