you know earl is so talented that if he behaved better he would have such a huge following.he would be like elvis or something in the pool world.but i do have to say something it kind of bugs me when i hear people say well earl has character.honestly when i dog it and lose or someone gets real lucky and lucks balls in it drive me nuts but anyone can act like a big baby when they lose and berate the crowd bad mouth the opponent etc.thats not character ,thats easy to do ,we all want to act like that but refrain because its wrong.ill tell what i think is not having character but being a real charecter is after a match and everything is going bad and the crowd is saying you dogged it and the table played bad etc to suck it up act like a man tell your opponent good shooting bud and go sit down .now that is having and being a character .i know that if i started acting like a jerk ,saying im the greatest ever,telling the crowd,opponents,refs,tourneydirectors etc to go to hell everytime i lost ,and basically acting like you know who.i would guaranteed get sponsored the next day and many more people would watch me play.that kind of makes me sick because i think its true.but im going to continue with being boring and trying to respect people around me when i lose ,because believeme that is 500 times harder to do than act like a 5year old.now i want to say that most of the guys on tour are super when they lose,rodney,corey,charlie,johnny,robles etc.well anyway that took me an hour to write im tired now lol talk to you later guys
