What happened ?
I’ll let sleeping dogs lie, in hopes it’s history. Mikejust said some very personal and offensive stuff.
It was very personal. I can't believe the stuff he said. I guess SVB has a bigger heart than me. I'm not sure I could let it go.
mike opened his mouth in public :shrug:
We won’t know how SVB feels. 1) He’s too professional to let it show and 2) moot point till they both make the Mosconi team and show up.
Is this Dr. Phil? Sure sounds like him. Maybe you could offer a little advice to the self righteous pile on Mike crowd. It has been noted that they, and others, sometimes drink too.
True... I think he's professional enough to never let it show.
Reading and comprehension problems? Never said drinking was the problem, Mike said that. I'm just saying that from my personal stand point, alcohol just makes the problems worse. So the problems for him existed before he started drinking. Same goes for me. The attitude problems exist whether alcohol is present or not. I'm able to acknowledge that. Mike doesn't seem to be as gracious in that aspect.
You are partially correct. I'll add to it and what alcohol can do is intensity whatever mood you are in before you start drinking - be it good or bad. Then you have the Dr Jeckel Mr Hyde syndrom. Every one of us has AT LEAST one friend like this. Nicest person in the world, right up until that person has just a little too much. Angry Drunk is probably the right term or phrase. I'm gonna go out on a limb and would think not many of us know Mike no where near good enough to know for a fact which applies. I'm not a huge fan of MD, but I do say ot took some courage for him to state that publicly and at least he is admitting he may have a problem and that is the first step to correcting it.
I personally would like to see Mike get his shit together (maybe some counseling?)......He's a great player......
Mike's is a bit of a sad story that can still have a happy conclusion.
If he has rededicated himself to pro pool, and is ready to compete on a regular basis again, count me among those that wish him well.
We know he's still got the game, for he won at the Gotham in October in a field that included YL Chang, both Ko brothers and Alex Kazakis. If he makes it to the Derby, we'll see what kind of form he shows.
Comeback stories are always heartening ... if and when they happen.

From the small glimpse we are given in the public, it appears to me that Mike is trying to show more maturity in the last 12 months.

What I wouldn't count on is either him stating there long term and or being very successful even in the mid term. The general public is pretty funny sometimes. I think most people are currently bad mouthing the economy and doesn't believe that its doing as good as we are being told. Truth is anyone that follows specific indicators and actually knows how to interpret them would realize on a whole the economy is doing very good right now. The flip side to that those that do believe the economy is doing great are also the ones that dont believe we are overdue with some major corrections in many differed segments and they are gonna effect many many people with new housing and remodels being some of the hardest hit for ua common folks. Ie : the days of making $50,000 window sales are Kist about over for awhile imo.
That would have to be a no-Brainer though, no?
Look at that Nagy tale that is a recent share. Nagy even got warned by a champ he'd end up with holes in his pants and no way to fill them...literally.
It is a tough place to exist, a fringe activity like pool.
He can still beat damn near anyone, if he plays 75% speed. Fuggit, he can do it on his own terms, life and pool.
That was by Onofrio Lauri. Lauri is said to have died at the table. There are worse ways to go.
Alcohol doesn’t change one’s personality, it reveals it...
Not in Cali...... construction is booming...... window, door, glazing, fenestration companies are flush.......
