This was beyond typical trash talk. Shaw was opening commenting on the same accusations against Shane in the same vein as the ones made by Mike Dechaine a few years ago.

Are you talking about the accusation of SVB having a listening device?
We know he has a hearing issue but is he getting coaching through it?
I doubt it.
No. A much more serious and criminal allegation.

It's less real than the political theater in the reverse engineered nonsense we are supposed to call reality.
"Land of the plumed, feathered serpent" lol - that's an interesting one to research!Just gonna throw that out there and not elaborate?
We’re major media in this world!They definitely have a long way to go before any major media is going to pick up on their trash talking comments. Well, aside from AzBilliards of course.
All i got out of that presser was that Joey works out...

Some thoughts on the press conference. Overall, definitely looking forward to watching this tomorrow.
Overall, I think Emily did a good job asking questions and getting everyone engaged. I think they should do a little better of a job screening the zoom questions though. They all seemed to focus on the lack of crowd for Chris/Fedor and the captains. I would have liked to have seen a bit more variety.
The players need to step up their game in these settings. You can tell pool players don't have to do anywhere near the amount of interviews/public speaking that other athletes do. Half of them could barely speak coherently when answering the questions, not to mention some of their attempts at trash talk. I know this is supposed to be a casual conversation and matchroom wants to play up the trash talking but if you can't be witty, at least try to be comprehensible.
I've barely heard of that Joey Gray guy before but he certainly came off as a clown in this press conference. They asked him why he was there or what he brought to the team and all he talked about was how he works out and ran a marathon. Cool... Maybe this can just be chalked up to him trying too hard though. I guess I'll have to wait and see.
I haven't been a huge Filler fan in the past but he impressed me in this interview. I wouldn't have guessed he'd be one of the mature ones in the room based on past antics but his answers were good and he was gracious when talking about Skyler's previous performance. Gotta feel for the guy though when the first comment Emily makes to him is about how Pia isn't there with him. I mean yeah he's young, but he's still 23 and Pia is his wife not his mommy...

The second thing a high level pool player usually learns, after how to pocket balls , is the proper art of slithering.
that discussion is pointless and has nothing to do with pool imo.
overall i don't think this press conference was a bad idea, but the attendees except for corey and albin seemed like fish out of the water. which is understandable. i was glad to see, or hear, sports journalist michael mcmullan paying some attention to pool
plus the team match
