I give you proof positive, Ernie Kovacs, was a top pool player.

I am sure most people in this board do not even know who he is. However one of my best friends is a Kovac's fanatic but I wonder if she knew that...will have to ask.
 
You mean that proves it because he has a cigar in his mouth? Well, now that you mention it I can see that he was indeed a top pool player.

Could be Tom, but the Pennyless one is still with us and Ernie ain't, LOL. Amazing how much they looked alike. Down to the cigar.

C'mon, quit foolin around. Just come out and say that it's the "Goose" Benny Conway. Most people dont know who either guy is, Kovacs or Benny. Glad to hear he's (The Goose) still around. Tell him the Beard says hello and that I never thought he would have made it this far. I thought for sure somebody would have thrown a net over him by now.

OK, Freddy. I will fess up. Like you, Tom and Macguy have already stated, it is in fact Benny (Goose) Conway and not Ernie Kovacs. It was just a small inside joke that only people in our age bracket would get. The point is that Benny looked so much like Ernie, cigar included, that it was hard to understand how he was able to make so much money during the 70s when word of mouth got around to look out for Ernie Kovacs and his pool cue. Benny was able to go back to joints that he had robbed months earlier and do the same thing again. It sure was easy back then.
 
Ahh - Those Were The Days, My Friend

Please give me back those TV days - I'm sick of the MTV, Reality, Oprah & other crap that my family watches now. I'll take Ted Mack & Howdy Doody anytime.

Ernie was not just a comic. He was one of the best of his time. He created a lot of the comedy bits that todays comics are still copying.
He was a real inovator.

Funny I just read the article that includes this picture yesterday. I wouldn't have recognized the Goose if I saw him. But I frequently see Little Goose running around on the local scene. I guess it's in their genes.

Yea, Chilifide, I heard he was playing pretty well now. I have never seen the kid. Does he look like his dad?

Yeah he's hitting them pretty sporty, looks kinda like his dad sans moustache and cigar. His hair is a lot shorter too.
