Ironman, Hillbilly may having an epiphony that will change his life. How many pool players you know that make a decent living?
Not many and even less tournament players. So, I may agree with ya. THings happen for reasons, and yes, worse things could happen.
I just wish the circumstances were different. I hate to see so many so talented with their heads down and feeling beaten. No matter how hard you try to explain to them that it is not their fault, they still feel violated. Now I understand better how a victim of sexual assault must feel. Maybe not a good comparison, I don't pretend to understand perfectly, but a little bit better.
Years ago I was at some tournament and watching an action match whilebull$hitting with Kieth. One player made an inctedible backwards cut and when snow came off the fourth rail, it just rubbed another ball and scratched. The whole crowd ached for the guy. Kieth rather soberly said, "you know, you spend your whole life at this game and you learn not to ask for much in return, but this game just proves that life ain't always fair."
Hopefully the Players will get on with their lives and be productive. It is my wish that they realize that they were screwed by a very unhealthy, unstable individual who has little regard for right and wrong. It is not the fault of the game itself. It's a good game and should be enjoyed. For many I understand that it was a substitute for life, and maybe that is the problem
They were screwed by KT and KT would have to stand on Denos shoulders to kiss their ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
