He's kind of between the oldest guys in their 80's and my generation of guys in their 70's. He came up along with guys like Buddy, Varner, Rempe and Mizerak.Dallas West, perhaps?
It wouldn’t be fair to allow 60 year old Earl to compete with the rest, and Efren is likely too strong for the rest of that group as well.It's been a while since Accu Stats has put together a "Make It Happen" event. Perhaps they could invite 6 guys over 60 for a round robin tournament: Earl (just turned 60), Efren (66), Ernesto Dominguez (66), Sigel (69), Parica (72), and Varner (73).
True, they won't be a good as their primes, but I'd watch it- to see some of my old favorites play and to see how well past greats can play at a relatively advanced age. Perhaps to make the conditions a bit more conducive to good play they could make the pockets a bit more generous- like 5 inches or so.
Archer never paid Oscar? That's pretty shady. You'd think he would be afraid of burning bridges if future matches come upAnd when he collected money from his backers to pay off he kept the money for himself and hasn’t paid Oscar a cent. Classy guy.
I saw that- I agree, they didn't play great. Sigel was able to hang with Earl in One Pocket and Banks, but looked out classed in the other disciplines if I recall correctly. They aren't very fond of each other to this day from the banter they displayed!they did one with sigel and pearl some years ago, it was an ok watch but not great
Is this for real? How could they not post the money?And when he collected money from his backers to pay off he kept the money for himself and hasn’t paid Oscar a cent. Classy guy.

Yeah. Archer never paid even after having his backers money to do so. Oscar made a post on FB the other day about the whole thing after 6 months of being patient and understanding.Archer never paid Oscar? That's pretty shady.

I guess guys will make him and his backers post the money before matches in the future- probably didn’t think they needed to with somebody of Archer’s statureYeah. Archer never paid even after having his backers money to do so. Oscar made a post on FB the other day about the whole thing after 6 months of being patient and understanding.
And this guy somehow has backers to be able to open a new pool room? Good luck to his investors with that venture.Yeah. Archer never paid even after having his backers money to do so. Oscar made a post on FB the other day about the whole thing after 6 months of being patient and understanding.
In his prime, Mike Sigel was not only a great Straight Pool and 9-Ball player, but he excelled at One Pocket and Bank Pool. He and Varner were the best all-around players of their generation. They became good friends and business partners as well.I saw that- I agree, they didn't play great.

Sigel, Parica, Varner and Hall would be a competitive foursome, assuming Buddy is still playing. I can’t imagine that long smooth stroke with the pronounced pause at the back has changed any!
I remember a front page foto in one of the pool mags of Varner, Sigel, and Hopkins all pointing to each other as to who was the best.In his prime, Mike Sigel was not only a great Straight Pool and 9-Ball player, but he excelled at One Pocket and Bank Pool. He and Varner were the best all-around players of their generation. They became good friends and business partners as well.
One time Julia Roberts was asked about making "Pretty Woman 2".I like remebering them at the top of their games. Watching them play so-so/bad has zero interest for me.
This adds a whole other level of irony to the post Johnny made at the beginning of the yearYeah. Archer never paid even after having his backers money to do so. Oscar made a post on FB the other day about the whole thing after 6 months of being patient and understanding.
There must be more to this story about why he didn’t pay after losing? For a large $ set / session, isn’t the $ supposed to be posted up by both players / backers and held by a neutral party before the match starts?This adds a whole other level of irony to the post Johnny made at the beginning of the year

There’s more to the story but it doesn’t make Johnny look good at all. The whole thing is public on FB and gets explained pretty well.There must be more to this story about why he didn’t pay after losing?

OD was raised by his dad to be aware of exactly how it works in terms of the arrangements for both party’s posting up the $ when you match up with another player for a big $ session. It’s hard for me to believe he could’ve found himself in this predicament.There’s more to the story but it doesn’t make Johnny look good at all.

After reading the whole thing on FB, it sounds like the only one who didn't have the inside track was Johnny Archer's stakehorseOD was raised by his dad to be aware of exactly how it works in terms of the arrangements for both party’s posting up the $ when you match up with another player for a big $ session.

Maybe he thought that Archer is such a known entity in pool that he didn’t need to require postingOD was raised by his dad to be aware of exactly how it works in terms of the arrangements for both party’s posting up the $ when you match up with another player for a big $ session.
