Mosconi cup

[garczar]

I say it every year, but I have no idea how this isn’t a bigger event. I think ESPN will eventually realize how good of a product it is (specifically the Mosconi Cup).

You do know that ESPN doesn't just show stuff, right? They get paid to show it. ESPN will not be showing pool again anytime soon.

What does that mean exactly?

it's going towards the corner pocket without being kicked by another OB. i think it only happened twice though, not conclusive.

Does this mean the rumors are true about Emily trying to pay off certain Team Europe players to dump their matches?

Oh Boy! Here was go. "It was stolen", "1000's of cubes on illegitimate of chalk showed up in the middle of the night", "The ballot boxes (I mean corner pockets) were stuffed!!!"

What do you mean by "stuff?" Which sports pay to be on ESPN?

ESPN pays out the nose for its marquee sports. $2 billion annually for Monday Night Football alone.

How do think cornhole is on? Because they PAY ESPN to show it. MC is hardly a marquee event for ESPN.

I never realized how bad Nick Schulman was at commentating.

According to this, you're wrong:

The ACL derives its revenue from its ESPN deal, sponsorships and memorabilia.

Could be now. I don't follow it. When it first was on they were buying airtime. You won't see pro pool on ESPN anytime soon if ever again. They shot themselves in the foot more than once.

Anyone else notice the second beep of the time warning seems to glitch?

Interesting choice to pair up the US's two worst players in the first doubles match.

Earl chokes and blames Oscar, in his usual fashion.

Overall US 1 - Europe 1

Earl is a douche. No one made him dog that 3 ball in the deciding game.

where did he blame Oscar?

Second match was quick and all Euro’s way, highlighted by our first controversy, over the rack of course. Euro wins 5-1. We’re tied 1-1.

i guess alex wanted his rookie to dip his toes early, so that made sense. maybe JJ wanted the same for the two players on his team who have been absent from the cup the longest time, idk

It's not the worst idea. Put in the sacrificial lambs and only lose 1 point in the process. And if they had somehow won it would have been a huge morale boost.
