Women players
Last summer I was privilaged to watch a tournament at Fusco's in PA. Karen Corr sent me an email saying that she would b playing. It started at 1 PM but everyone had already been shooting for a couple of hours. When it was all over, it was 330 AM the next morning. 14 1/2 hours of play plus a couple more hours of practice games. By the end, most of the audience had left and half of those remaining were fast asleep.
It had to b very tough on the players. There were many pros there, with some of the big name men including Mike Davis and Danny Bassivich, so this was no cake walk. Karen Corr made it to the final with Lee Holt. It went Hill Hill right down to the final ball. Holt won. In those long (all in one day) tournaments like that, I feel that men do have an advantage simply due to their extra strength. But for Karen to reach the final match and take it to H/H shows her great play. 
I'd love to c Karen, Allison, Jasmin, and the many other great women players put a whoop'n on the men who put them down. Believe me, it WILL happen. Then they can walk away and wimper
like Earl the Pearl. As Johnny Archer said after his loss to a woman, u should never under estimate anyone. Any pro player deserves a lot of respect for their abilities, b they men or women.

I'm well aware that Mike was a dominant force when he was in his prime but that was a long time ago. I don't recall Mike winning any tournaments in the last few years, I don't consider beating LJJ winning a tourny either. He got absolutely embarassed by Efren at the KOTH, so perhaps Mike should start worrying about winning something and not worrying about his choice of words?
