Look at the faces of the folks in the crowd smiling. They love this $hit.
Earl, on the other hand, looks as he always does when he gets a loss get the better of him, fans get the better of him, etc.

My take on it watching it live was, when it was over and they shook hands, Earl was looking at the crowd and not in the eyes of Nick. Nick proceeded to pull his hand so Earl would turn and look at him. Then Earl popped off with some comment.
In Europe this is very disrespectful and carries the same weight as say, a slap in the face. It's also disrespectful in America but not to the same degree. Example! If your caught stealing in America, they slap your hand, maybe a little jail time and pay a fine.Where in some countries, they just cut your hand off.
Remember a few years ago when Fabio Petroni didn't stand up for our National Anthem at the U.S. Open and everybody on Az was *****ing how direspectful it was. Even if he was Italian he should have stood for our National Anthem, which we deem as an insult. Well after Earl won that match with Nick, he direspected him and in front of his family!!!
When shaking hands with a European you BETTER be looking straight in their eyes!

I noticed that too, maybe that's what is wrong with his game. Better do some crunches Earl.
 
did you guys see the cue that he is playing with now he used to play with cuetec cues now he is playing with a different stick now wonder why?

thanks
 
lol thought i was the only one who noticed his new beer belly :D

and travis how do you know he's not playing with a cuetec... probably just a different one.
 
What's with the giant boxing glove he has on his shooting hand? What is it supposed to do? Has the cheese sliden totally off of Earl's cracker? If so it will make for good t.v.

And here I thought slapping people was funny in Europe. Like with the whole "happy slap" phone camera thing that was all the rage over there.

I think you just made that disrespect thing up.

MY TAKE ON THIS IS WHY IS NVB STILL CRYING IN HIS CHAIR WHEN THE MATCH IS OVER AND EARL HAS WON.HE SHOULD BE A MAN AND GET UP AND SHAKE EARLS HAND AND NOT SIT THERE.THERE BOTH AS$HOLES IF ANYTHING.IF A PLAYER DOESNT MEET ME HALF WAY THEN THEY SHOULDNT GET OFFENDED OVER ME NOT LOOKING THEM IN THE EYE.NVB IS BEING DISREPECTFUL!
 
The only thing worse than being a jerk and not going over to shake your opponent's hand is being a jerk because someone from a different country doesn't know some obscure custom of yours. Intolerance is as bad as rudeness.
