Open Offer to Danny Harriman and John Schmidt from TAR
- Thread starter JCIN
- Start date
I dunno, mon. He is so easily offended that I think there would be a very realistic chance that he would back out at the last moment.
Do you think so? Gosh, I've known Danny Green since he was a pup, when he first came on the pool scene. I actually consider him a friend, truth be told, but I cannot see the resemblance between him and Danny Harriman.
I'd post Danny Green's picture, but I know he definitely likes to fly under the radar.
Black-balled, do you think Danny Green looks like Danny Harriman?
$1,000 is $1,000, BUT........
I'm just wondering if the two players would prefer playing the three disciplines for $1,333 each and the winner gets $4,000. The loser would get $2,000.
This is comparable to tournament earnings from first to second place where the winner generally gets about twice as much as the second place finisher.
$6,000 is $6,000 but a match is a match and if one isn't played, well......

I was going to post one up but then I thought better. Like when I played him at Orange Ball Billiards in a 9 ball tournament. Here's this guy flying around the table jumping up on every shot and Im saying, "There's no way this guy is serious!!!" Sure enough at 4-0 in a race to five I said your name is Danny right?? Danny what?? He said, "Danny Green.."
Right then I realized whom I was playing since I heard of him through David McCumbers novel Playing Off the Rail.
Danny Green is a really nice fella and a great player to boot. Im glad I got to play him
To go back to the point I do think there is a slight resemblance between the two Danny's but then again Ive only seen Danny Green a couple of times to countless times like yourself Jenny. Oh well
Is that "politely" or "opiately"? :embarrassed2:
You couldn't tell the difference between a cat and a dog!! Ive seen this in person
oke:

I've got a really funny Danny Green story which I'll share later. You'll get a kick out of it. LOL :grin:
I'm off to an appropriations hearing, after eating lunch.
Congress is putting the squeeze on everybody for FY 2013.
Understood, I liked your post, just wanted to clarify that point with how I feel about it.
You willing to put $6,000 and your reputation up that Danny will be there?
That is essentially what Justin is doing if he agreed to let the match proceed. If everyone purchased the PPV and Danny backed out, all of the payments would have to be refunded and there may be people who were trying TAR for the first time who wouldn't try again.
I know it wouldn't be a full $6,000, but I know that Justin would compensate Schmitty if he were to show up and the match didn't happen. I wouldn't be willing to do that if it were me. The only way I would consider a match is if both players put up refundable no show money, which John said he would be happy to do.
That's the same thing Kevin Trudeau promised to all qualified IPT players, at least $5000. But it took him about a little over two years to pay if off. Kevin didn't even pay interest for his late payment either.
Personally I like the SVB / Alex rivalry much better.......
Edited to Add: And I would love to see them match up again and again!!

I realize that TAR was trying to create prematch hype. But there's also an element of high-pressure sales tactics at work here too. By announcing this match challenge on AZB, it puts more pressure on both parties, especially Danny, to participate. If Danny declines, which he did, than he gets criticized by everyone on AZB for his decision (regardless of what factors influenced his decision).
That's why I commented earlier that it would have been so much better to negotiate this match challenge quietly using back channels.
He could have said, "Thanks for the offer Justin, but I don't think I can commit to that right now."
Manners ... sheesh ... so over rated.
If Danny was worried about being criticized here (which I highly doubt) he could have simply replied to Justin that e couldn't make it work, for any number if personal reasons, and that would have been that. As oppose to going off about suppose preferential treatment given to john, etc.
