You are very welcome bud. Who is next on the list? You and Frost in a banks, one pocket and ten ball all around would be a good one. Oh wait he is retired.

He could play Rodney for food or beer. Win,win.
You're slipping son..... You forgot:
One man, no aiming system
You want me to just put it in your signature line? LOL
If I were one of the pro players looking for another gig, I would take a shot at North Dakota. I know the winters are brutal but the pay is good in the oil industry and I would not be surprised to hear that they could earn a lot of side cash betting on their pool skills when they are not working.
Probably a rugged way of life but how much tougher can it be than a real pool player's life?

You have become truly delusional if you actually believe an entry level job in the oil industry in North Dakota is anywhere close to what Scott has been doing.
Texas has Eagle Ford Shale stretching across dozens of counties. Pick a county any county. They can't find enough workers. South Texas, warm weather, great fishing and hunting. Plenty of bar room 8 ball hustling opportunities and did I mention the ladies.

Professionalism doesn't really apply to my statements, or really anything in this discussion.
"Pro Pool Players" don't claim to be professionalism. They can and quite often act with professionalism, but it's not something that you are. Anyone can act with professionalism, but that does not meant they are professionals.
a "Professional" is a person who is engaged in a specific activity as their primary paid occupation, and not just a pastime.
Look, this is all semantics anyway. It doesn't matter if you get pool on TV, the radio, bubble gum cards or even on the moon. If people, and I mean everyday people, don't pay their hard earned dollars to patronize "Professional Pool" then it won't ever happen. I would pay lots of money to Justin Beiber if he would tell all his fans to buy an OB Cue. Not because he can play, and certainly not because I like or keep up with his career. The reason I would do it is because it would sell more OB Cues. Why would it sell more cues? How about because he has millions of fans. And many of them would go to our website and drop $500 on a cue just because He said the cue was great and he played with one.
As a business owner in the pool industry, I'm in a position to gain greatly from "Professional Pool" taking off and doing well. I would do anything I could to help it get there. BUT, and that's a big BUT, you can't "phone it in", or fake it. Until "Professional Pool" realizes that it must swoon it's fans and lead them to follow "Professional Pool" and pay attention to "Professional Pool", then nothing is going to change. "Pool" as I see it, which is the millions of us that play pool every day or every week and buy cues and pay table time and drink and eat at pool rooms and on and on, is the "low hanging fruit" for "Professional Pool". If "Professional Pool" can't earn fans from the millions of pool players out there who, most of which, would love to be fans of "Professional Pool" then how can it expect to garner the attention of the average people out there in TV land.
As I said before. I'm patiently waiting for the right people and organization to come along. And when it does, we will have a true "Professional" pool tour or organization. That person or group of people will "Sell" pool as entertainment, to the world. I'm greatly looking forward to it.
Come on down, but I'd advise not to bring a g/f if you'd like to see her again...
Somebody say fishing? I'll have my g/f pack up the house this weekend!
Me too. I don't mean the pool halls, but it really pi$$es me off when people say things about those folks who risked themselves starting their own businesses and became successful.
Early in my career when I was pretty broke, I did projects on the side. I worked at GE, and made good money, but I had a wife, 2 daughters that I supported. I was putting money in their college funds each month since their birth.
I didn't have the guts to make the jump and start my own business. So while people here want to say I am drinking Kool-Aid or whatever, that is okay. I know I worked as a janitor for 6 years while I was in high school and college and still went to school full time. Once I graduated, I worked as an Engineer at GE, and did projects on the side so I could save money for my kids to go to college.
The Kool-Aid I was drinking was I had responsibilities and I did whatever I could to meet them. I didn't expect or want the government to give me a handout. Today I don't see people with that same attitude.
Sounds like Scott Frost is looking at his life and making decisions that he feels is right for him. As I posted early in this thread, I respect him doing that, I wish him the best.

More fall-out from Bogus ball! :frown:
His lesson with Perfect Aim will merely tell you what you already do, naturally. Some people don't do this "naturally", in fact, I would say, "Most don't".
If I was Gene, I wouldn't give you any pool lessons. WTH?

I'm with Banks. I'll hook up the boat and pick you up on the way down.
Any commercial fishing jobs?
Beyond the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, I have no idea.

You dont look too old in the photo in your avatar and you already know what the business is like, dice and the wheel are tough but if you got a good head, you should be able to fade it.
And as you know, it aint how well you deal, its how you handle people that means everything. I used to have guys on my crew that couldnt run down a stack for love or money, BUT they could make money off of anyone because they knew how to hustle and handle people.
If you aint doing nothing better, look into it. But if you got a better gig going, stick with what youre doing.
