My Apology To Str8 Shots

JAM said:
I don't know what you're smoking, but I hope I never get wind of it.

I don't like cyber-bullying, and yesterday was a good example of what cyber-bullying is. If I am the lone person standing, then I am glad I am able to still stand and speak out against it. I am still shocked at what occurred on this forum yesterday to a new industry member trying to cultivate our youth in pool. The nastiness, vulgarity, and ridicule made me sick to my stomach. And you have the nerve to use the word "huggers" when referring to me and lorider? :angry:

Write me another diatribe. I'll have to get back atcha. I have a press briefing at 1 p.m.

FWIW, I won't be playing you Scrabble. I wouldn't want to anger you.

Um.... better read my use of the word "hug" again. Your lack of reading comprehension is why you frequently fall on the wrong side of the line. If you slow your reading down to 30 wpm, instead of 5000, you will see why your post made zero sense.
 
JCIN, its great to see 2 promoters talking. This sport is too diverse to limit itself to one promoting body. Too many sports, rule variations, personalities, etc.

Mostly, ur apology makes me proud to be a TAR fan. And, a Str8 Shots fan...even if I may disagree with them on this point...which I am always willing to reconsider. :) We all want what is best for this sport.

Respect, Courage, and Commitment!

If the Str8 Shots post was in error, it was still theirs. People reacted to the post as presented. I think we all wish everyone at Str8 Shots good luck but they need to learn from this experience. Their mission is one most of us believe in.

Bravo, sir!

I didn't say anything so wrong that I feel the need to apologize. I call 'em as I see 'em, and react based upon what I see, as always.

Now, if Kimberly wants to start her own apology thread, I'll certainly be willing to get on there and forgive her and get on with things. If not, I guess I still feel the same as before. After all, I didn't talk to her on the phone about any of this.

Did you try to call her?

I doubt even if she wanted to that she would be able to find the number for Sloppy Pockets on the Google.

My guess is you will not be seeing Kimberly on here much. I advised her to avoid it like the plague. Unless a business owner is willing to spend the time to learn the landscape and customs here the risk is too high to mess with it.

I don't think anyone who posted must apologize. As I stated people were posting based on the facts as they knew them. Why apologize for that? They are not to blame for the facts being screwed up. The main thing is the whole mess is sorted now. No need for people to pile on with "I was RIGHT!" or a hundred "I apologize". Because the deal was so screwed up from the start everyone was right and wrong in their own ways.

Least thats my take on the cluster.

Hey, man, my impression of you is and has been that you're a real straight shooter. If you say they're legit, it's good enough for me. I really don't think she wants to talk to a nobody like me anyway. If she does she can PM me and I'll give her my phone number then. I won't be holding my breath on that one, though. Lol

I'm glad you worked things out to your satisfaction at any rate. In order to keep serving me and others like me, you need to get along with as many folks in the industry as possible without compromising your values. Me? Not so much. ;)
 
JCIN said:
I posted this in the original thread but I want it out in the open and easy to find as I know many people bow out of those long threads without finishing them.

I havent read the last few hours worth of posts I have been on the phone talking with Kimberly from Str8 Shots. There has been a lot of crossed wires in this situation obviously. Here are some things that should help clear it up:

1. Str8 Shots is not doing a Danny/John match now or in the future. Off the table.

2. Kimberly is unfamiliar with AZ and forums in general. This is a big reason the OP that started this brushfire read the way it did. I am as guilty of getting riled up over it as anyone. After speaking with her I believe 100% that her and husband want nothing but good things for pool and the people who play and watch it.

3. Str8 Shots focus has been Juniors and local events in the past. They are not as intimately familiar with all pro players and the history of the pro game as many here are. This has caused some miscommunications and mixed signals to happen.

4. There has been a large element of the "Telephone Game" effect in action throughout this entire situation. Sometimes what is said and what is meant become two different things when filtered through multiple lines of communication.

5. After two long conversations with Kimberly I find we agree on many things relating to pool and what it will take to improve the state of it in this country. Str8 Shots has been doing many good things no one has heard of. I consider myself wired in pretty good and I was unaware of most of them. They put time money and effort into things they believe in. That is desperately needed in this game.

6. After all that has went on in this thread I feel Str8 Shots has taken a whipping they really do not deserve. Most of that is due to the simple fact that things written on a forum by someone unfamiliar with the landscape can easily be taken out of context. I will be the first to admit I was guilty of this in this thread. My personal opinion based on knowing many people in this thread in person and most through my time here is that the great majority were just standing up for their opinions based on the facts as they understood them.

Unfortunately many of those facts for various reasons were not correct leading to good people making statements that are not warranted based on what REALLY has happened. Its confusing as hell and in all my time here I have never seen a similar situation spin out control so fast.

7. The Str8 Shots crew are good people not out to screw anyone over or micro manage the players they sponsor. They expect people they associate with to conduct themselves as professionals when representing them. That is something I think almost everyone here will agree is a good thing.

I feel really bad for having gotten twisted up in this mess and want to apologize to Kimberly and her husband for the part I played in this thing getting out of control. I believe in my heart they want nothing but good things and simply walked into a situation they had no knowledge off and got caught in a trap. In the future I will support Str8 Shots and do anything I can to help them.

I have always been vocal when I think someone is trying to pull a move on the pool world. History has proved me right on almost all occasions. On this one I was wrong. These are good people doing good things. I hope everyone will calm down and maybe take my word that there is no malice here on anyone's part. Its just a misunderstanding that got rapidly out of hand.

That's good enough for me, if you get the TAR seal of approval!
 
SpiderWebComm said:
Exactly^^^

JAM and Lorider are hugging saying they stood up for what they knew to be right when the world wasn't supporting them. How ANYONE can read Kim's original post and think "I want to defend this person and company" is beyond my level of understanding.

Str8 Shots was obviously trying to produce that match (which I think was WAY WAY premature since TAR produced the first 2). Mark says he contacted Justin about it, but Justin said he only received a text message asking for a call - no details. Then Kim found out about the TAR match and was fully aware of the offer and decided to make a post saying she advised JS to not do it and there would be no match -- and went as far as to outline the specifics of Schmidt's contract regarding his responsibility to come to them for permission.

From there... the ball was already rolling downhill -- and fast. When Kim made a clarifying post, it did everything BUT clarify anything. It further confirmed what everyone was already thinking. Of course, when Danny made his quip about residuals -- then everything was confirmed for the most part.

So of COURSE everyone got up-in-arms... no one was spinning, no one was unfairly attacking -- the community circled around TAR and stood up for what was right. No one spun anything --- we're all literate and can read just fine.

What really happened was:

- Mark was recently taken on by Str8 Shots and wanted to come out of the gate with a home-run match and did his job to set it up. I really like Mark and respect what he has done with challenge match productions in the past, however, it's fair to say his actions were premature and he should have waited to even MENTION the match to Str8 Shots until he gave Justin the courtesy of a sit-down to discuss his plans and intentions. Did he HAVE to... prob not... but it's the right thing to do since Justin was vested with two previous matches with those players, sitting at 1-1, and had previously tried to get the match together. Had Mark taken the time to do this one step, this entire thing would have been averted.

- Kim's original post was her true initial intention. She controlled her player, which she felt was within her right of sponsorship. I think everyone gets that. The thing that put the community up-in-arms was the undertone that she would leave it open to produce the match in the future, which sent the entire community on tilt. That's when everyone marched up the hill with pitch forks and torches. The blow-back was so intense, she likely thought, "WTF is going on... what's happening!?!?" Once it blew-up beyond anyone's expectation, Str8 Shots suddenly had miscommunications, confusions and basically said they didn't mean what they posted and it was all a big misunderstanding.

^^^ All of the above is perfectly clear and documented and doesn't leave anything up to interpretation.

- The way I see it is Justin called Kim and her husband who prob sounded flustered and totally sincere when she said everything is a total FUBAR and nothing is what they intended and everything is a miscommunication. Justin is a SUCH a classy guy, he probably steps out of the shower in the morning in order to take a piss in the toilet, before stepping back into the shower -- and gave her a verbal hug on the phone and put her olive branch around his forehead like Julius Caesar and ended the call like a professional.

^^^ This is all speculation because I wasn't on the call and I'm not sure if Justin really steps out of the shower to take a leak, but if anyone does, he does because that's how proper, kind-hearted and classy he is.

Everyone makes mistakes and I've made more than anyone on this pool forum and as they say: Let ye who hasn't effed-up, pitch the first stone ---- and I threw my stone decades ago. It's been said that Str8 Shots does a lot for juniors and for events, etc, and I'm sure they do -- it's just that no one has ever heard of them. Based on what is coming out, I'm sure they're legit and I'm SURE they do good things. That said, I'm sure they learned their lesson.

Mark Cantrill is one of the very best exhibition promoters in the U.S., without a doubt. I'm sure he saw a big opportunity and attacked it with vigor and tried to spear a mammoth and drag it into Str8 Shots to show them he can deliver, which he does 99.9999% of the time. I'm sure if Mark could have a mulligan he would and if Kim could have a mulligan on her two posts, she would and if they each had mulligans, they'd be in the center of the fairway and we'd all be crowded around their ball excited to have a new, fresh face in our community doing super good things for all players, from pros to juniors.

With that said, I'd like to apologize to Kim, her husband, and Mark for my scathing attack. I only have two speeds: french kissing and melting someone's face off like the German dude from Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. I don't own TAR and sometimes I pull shit that's in the "not my problem" pile into "my problem" pile when it's not my job to melt someone's face off.

TAR has single-handedly revolutionized pool streaming and big-action streaming. Although Accu-stats was the first (if I recall), TAR was the first to be successful at it. Now, someone "might" (I wouldn't) say _____ has a nicer-looking stream or ______ has better camera angles or ______ has better commentators, but NONE of them (stress NONE) would be in that position if TAR hadn't paved the way.... and that's a stone-cold fact. I think that's why TAR has a special place in many of our hearts and we defend them to the death when we perceive a "wrong" is going down, just like they're our family.

Str8 Shots is the newbie in our community and I wish them the best and I hope they pave their own way in our industry just like TAR did. In time, it's very possible some other company comes forth and sets off a similar maelstrom where the entire community circles around Str8 Shots and we beat that company to a bloody pulp if we perceive a "wrong" is going down. As a pool community, we're a VERY loyal group when it comes to the companies who treat us well and operate with integrity.

CUMBAYAAAAA MY LORD......CUMBAYAAAA. CUMBAYAAAAA MY LORD...CUMBAYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

dang spidey that is a long ass apology.:smile:

i will say you hit the nail on the head with some of your post.

but alas... in your own words some of what you posted is pure speculation .

speculation is what caused a lot ofl the ruckus in str8shots thread.

truthfully spidey i dont fault anyone for being confused or mis understanding some of kimberlys post. i had a hard time deciphering some of it myself. after reading her 1st post i come close to posting and asking for some reading comprehension help but when i saw where that thread was heading i thought i better not.

instead i re read her post then went back to marks thread titled danny harriman and put 2 and 2 together and come up with 4. a lot of people it seemed was focusing on her post adding 2 and 2 come up to 3 confusing the heck outa every body. it seemed to me she was reading what everyone was posting and was aghast and upset and failed to make her post in a clear and concise manner.

again i don't blame any one for being confused. what does disturb me though is the level of putting words in peoples mouths, twisting words to fit your agenda, taking posts outa context, rude and deragatory remarks and on and on. yea it does happen in a lot of threads but not at the high level and frequency of that thread though.

it seemed like every one was trying to out do each other who could make the most rude remark or come up with the most amazing theory.

i also cant believe the level of cajoling and heckling displayed towards john schmidt. it ran the whole spectrum from comical to ludicrous. i got a chuckle out of " hey can john come out and play." but the " john sold his testicles for a few entry fees' was downright uncalled for. IF I WAS JOHN I WOULD YELL THEM TO GO FVCK THEM SELVES, NO WAY IN HELL I WOULD PLAY TO ENTERTAIN PEOPLE WHO SAID CRAP LIKE THAT ABOUT ME.

one thing i am dying to know . how in the hell did ya'll detictives come to the conclusion that str8shots is not an online retailer that is heavily involved in charity but a full fledged charity instead. that just puzzles the hell out of me how some one came up with that theory.

one last thing. ... i know i took a lil brow beating for my stance in that thread from some people on here. i still respect each and every one of you. because even if we don't see eye to eye all the time we all are obviously passionate about pool.

I highly doubt John plays (only) in hopes of entertaining people. He would have been getting paid for the match. I'm not going to defend everything that was said in the thread about John, but personally I didn't see anything any 'worse' than what John has posted in past years. I personally like what I have read from John, it was pretty funny, 'Ate by a goat and sh-t off a cliff' is a classic, it should be on a T-shirt in some form.

As to the Str8 shots person, leaving what the true facts are (I don't think it is very clear even now) out of the discussion, it was the rambling quality, and overall tone(yes, interpreting tone is subject to opinion for the wriiten word) that made me comment. She might be a great person with a great company and be great for pool, that still doesn't change the post she made.

I also don't know why a company that is in the pool or billiards business doesn't already have a presence on AZ, but of course it's their choice.

I think Sloppy Pockets made a good post. Not over the top at all, and expressed his opinion very well. (I'm assuming Sloppy is a he.) I don't care if his name is John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt (I actually wrote that before I realized... well you know what I mean, yeah I googled it...thought it was Smith) The point is he, as far as I know, is an average pool fan and has an equal voice on a forum such as this, for what that's worth.

Edit: Just in case some hadn't heard of that name John Jacob Jinleheimer Schmidt is a traditional children's song (I know that dates me).

Ha Ha haters like you have said THAT before and yet I receive another offer. I agreed to play John again only with mic's. Then John's sponsor said no. I am still willing to work with TAR and do appreciate the work they do for pool. I will not play at the studios way out in Vegas or near where John lives. :) So again for the record I had a tentative agreement with Mark Cantrell to play John in April and they brought out the queen a little early. Straight shots is a reputable company and have compensated me for John and his cronies on here trying to continue to drag my name through the muck. Hopefully John will abide by his sponsors rules and conduct himself in a more professional manner than I have seen from him in the past. So again even though I have not been practicing much at all I agreed to play, I do understand TAR wanting the match where their studio is so's in order to cut down on traveling expenses. I just do not feel comfortable making the trip there. So again thanks for the interest out there in John and I finishing this but I don't think now is the time. If you ever make it out of your front door to a major tournament dorabelle and have the misfortune of drawing me - you might find that I do get out (run the balls that is). It's funny when you say HA HA it's sounds like a little child trying to bully another kid at school - good luck with that.

Seriously, Danny! I think you misunderstood her post! She posted that in light of John now having the green light from str8shots (his sponsor) to play you on TAR. THEN after the all the hoopla and John finally getting the nod to play from his sponsor, it was laughable because now you were out (as in not playing for TAR).

Not sure how you can interpret that post in the manner in which you did! For the sake of misinterpreting posts on this forum, I have found that reading the entire thread and individual comments enables me to reply appropriately and with proper context of the topic being discussed.

You and John have played 2 GREAT All-Around matches on The Action Report that you split leaving a rubber match as the one most here want to see.

The pool fans want to see great pool between 2 competitors who, by the sheer dislike of one another, want to beat their opponent so bad the best pool each could play manifests itself on the table. Both have a strong desire to win this match!!

I hope you think it over and decide to make the trip to play in the TAR studio. You know TAR will only be involved and pay you if it's played in their studio where they have the best production capabilities.

Think about it!

I did read all the posts prior to posting, if you do not see her post as being a little condescending then I would say you and I have totally different ideas about what is tactful and what is not. I would imagine you don't see any advantage that John lives very close to Vegas and has played at the TAR studio before and I have not. Some people are always making a FEEBLE attempt at telling someone to do something, that does not work well with me - you can think about that! The arrangement I had with Mark was tentative, I needed verification on that the match was not going to be out west in John's back yard and that microphones would be in place AND WORKING before I guaranteed I would compete with this player againI Plus it was imperative that if either one of us said something demeaning to each other that there would be a rule in place that penalized the player for belligerency including me. In case you did not know gary the first match between John and I was in a neutral location, not near the west coast - twelve or thirteen hundred miles from where I live. The other verification I needed was who the referee was going to be. Plus Justin and I would need to clear the air a bit before I play, if they want to say I am being difficult then wait until the match is in a location where their little gang has no home team advantage, it might get difficult for John yet once again. These are not preventative measures but they are preventive measures for their little west coast gang. So once they are able to find the right location (not Midwest) and not west coas I would gladly accept TAR's offer. Any thought there Gary?

Danny - you know I have always been one of your biggest supporters so I hope you take my words as they are. You are making a mountain out of a mole hill. John lives closer to Vega$? What a difference of an hour flight compared to a 3 hour flight for you? That is a nothing comparision. And if John has played one or two matches in the studio (I'd have to look it up), that is not much if anything of an advantage as well. Now if it was SVB, you might have a valid argument.

I respect that you stand up for what you believe in. That is a good thing. But maybe every once in a while learn to deal with the devil (or however you view some people) to get ahead in life. You never know where it might lead to.

Beyond that, i hope that you are doing well. I think in this day and age, there is limited opportunities for the American Pool Player and if one is given to you, you or anyone else should see it as a positive and not list all the possible negatives that come to mind. But hey, I may just be dumb and not know anything.

All the best - your friend,

Danny -

Me too.

Been a fan since I met your fourth grade teacher Mrs. Forte (that should make you laugh).

Watchez is exactly right with his comments.

If you note, I was pressing for them to pay you as well as John. (It sounded like they were only going to pay John).

Hang in there buddy.

Schmidt has appeared in 4 TAR events -- two against you, one against Jason Kirkwood in South Dakota, and one against Corey Deuel in the TAR studio in mid-2012.

The studio has a very small number of spectator seats; there would be no "west coast gang" or hoards of Schmidt supporters flying in from California.
 
I will still play JMr.400

I will still play him in the original format, I don't care about the residual income from pay per view sales. The location however will NOT be where he has competed at before (west coast). Anyone who does not see this as an advantage is wrong. I think if we were to play a set of one pocket, full rack bank, 14.1, ten ball and then 3 cushion that his backers could wager as much as $5,000.00 a set. So again I will play and they can do like normal and use the players as tools to try and make there pay per view $. I can promise yall that the mics will be in place and I would have to know that they are working. Any belligerent remarks made by either one of us and it cost us $500.00. Plus John will not be able to touch the cue ball ever, this will put a stop to any secret waxing of the cue ball from him either with his towel or glove. So again lets make this happen if possible, I do appreciate Justin making the open offer and including BOTH players this time. If they sweeten the deal a bit I will even play in Vegas but I would want to practice on the table a day ahead of time as john has competed there before and I have not. Take away John's tactic of stopping play and name calling etc and I feel confident I can defeat him.

Hey, Danny, did you watch the Mosconi Cup this year? Were you a Team USA member on the Mosconi Cup sometime ago? I would love to read your thoughts about the Mosconi Cup. :)

Anyone who does not see this as an advantage is wrong. I think if we were to play a set of one pocket, full rack bank, 14.1, ten ball and then 3 cushion that his backers could wager as much as $5,000.00 a set. So again I will play and they can do like normal and use the players as tools to try and make there pay per view $. I can promise yall that the mics will be in place and I would have to know that they are working. Any belligerent remarks made by either one of us and it cost us $500.00. Plus John will not be able to touch the cue ball ever, this will put a stop to any secret waxing of the cue ball from him either with his towel or glove. So again lets make this happen if possible, I do appreciate Justin making the open offer and including BOTH players this time. If they sweeten the deal a bit I will even play in Vegas but I would want to practice on the table a day ahead of time as john has competed there before and I have not. Take away John's tactic of stopping play and name calling etc and I feel confident I can defeat him.
