Earl Strickland????Well i was told that my main man Earl has been seen sleeping in his car and he is back smoking again, looked like he needed a shave and a shower....
It seems he is on a crash course.... Any truth to this anyone?
I am glad Earl is doing ok. He is my favorite narcissus in the whole world. I would hate to hear he is doing bad. He vows to win one more world championship, and I hope he does.

sounds like most of the players i know!!..Well i was told that my main man Earl has been seen sleeping in his car and he is back smoking again, looked like he needed a shave and a shower....

Earl will be at the Jacoby tournament next weekend playing in a pro am
friday night .I should be there streaming or filming for a future restream
Also hope to get some time to get a few interviews and maybe get Earl
to speak for himself which he never seems to have a problem doing.
I have heard from others who know even though I haven't seen it recently with my own eyes that Earl still has the ability to play at an extremely high level.
While playing his matches in a tournament like the U.S. OPen 9 Ball Championship, I would love to see Earl have a tournament in which:
1. He doesn't say one 1 word to any fan during any of his matches.
2. He doesn't say 1 word to his opponentduring any of his matches.
3. He doesn't say 1 word of self-talk (to himself)during his matches{/B]
4. He doesn't roll his eyes when he hears comments from anyone.
5. When he misses a shot, he doesn't do anything but go sit in his chair and wait for his next opportunity to come to the table and play his best.
(No grimmacing, no glaring, no cursing, no exclamations of any kind)
6. No sharking his opponent with words, movement or any other sharking effort.
7. If he is accosted verbally or otherwise, which happens to him a lot by a few dirty SOB's, he should simply report the offense to the tournament director.
The above items are what is holding Earl back from another World Championship imo.
In fact, Earl should go to the tournament director before the tournament starts and ask the tournament director to keep an eye on his matches to keep the low-life's that would attempt to take away his chance to play his best pool (and that includes any opponent that would stoop low by sharking Earl). He should also tell the TD that he plans to be on his best behavior and for the TD to keep that information to himself.
Hell, if he wanted and I was at the tournament, I would go to the tournament director myself and seek to have rowdy visitors (I can't call them fans) removed from the tournament.
I want to see Earl excel so much that I would play policeman on behalf of the tournament director but I wouldn't give Earl a break for his own bad behavior if any, but I would send miscreants packing with the tournament director's blessing.
Earl deserves to be able to play without provocation but he also deserves to rid himself of the obstacles that he sometimes imposes on himself.
GO EAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRLLLL!

Since others have said that Earl is fine and not sleeping in his car and is not on a crash course, if I were you, I would divulge the name of the person who is spreading this distasteful and untruthful rumour.[/B]
This nasty rumor spreading is not nice.
At a recent tournament, because my last tournament match of the night started at 4:15 am, without a shower and without a shave, I slept in my truck for about an hour or so because it would have taken an hour or so to get to and from the hotel room and I may not have been able to make it back for me and my road-dogs' EARLY AM MATCH.

It was only a question not starting a rumour.... Also i just got word from a friend that earl just got back from Japan and is driving a bmw.... Thats the answer i wanted to hear... Earl is my favorite player, besides myself, and i would NEVER start any negative rumour about him....
Cool!
Go Earrrrrrrrl
