I think that was Old Fart (that may just be his billiard nickname).
He's here every year, but usually can't find his seat, so you usually don't see him in the vids.
I've been with Earl in the smoking area between rounds. NOBODY has the nerve to ask him about the finger tape, pads, straps, weights, cue wraps, etc...
Now if you wanted to talk about the disparagy between payouts for pool players and golfers, Earl was your man.

That was one great interview by Jimmy Wych! He somehow made Earl feel comfortable enough to be very revealing about himself and his "equipment."
Not always an easy thing to do. Good job Jimmy!

That guy was part of Johnny Archer/Nick Varner Pool School I participated in last year in Maryland. He was a nice guy and very into pool. Loves the game and had his book with all sorts of notes.
it was a good interview except for that old drunk retard in the background.
that was my dad man, thanks. :frown:
I can see the resemblance.......nice hat BTW.
He's from Balto. A true pool nut, not intentionally doing anything against Earl in any way.
..........
I think he also placed fairly well in the Amateur event at the SBE a few years ago too. Not a bad player. I can't believe I forgot his name though. I see him everywhere there is pool going on.

Pat O'Nut...(as in fruitcake)
I think earl was pretty nutty himself.He dosn't want to feel the cue.Now whats that about?
He's flat out serious. Now how he came to believe that would help his game, I'd imagine that's a whole different can of funky rationale.
I hope his move to the Meucci homeland near Memphis does him well! His presence in Greensboro will be missed. It just got a whole lot quieter. :frown:
