so many times i thought the eagles were fucked
at the beginning
and on that 4th and 26th call i was ready to change channels

I know. It could be said, justifiably so, that the Eagles should not have won. But all that counts is the final score and the birds managed somehow to pull it out.
EAGLES WON
anD The next to die will be Carolina

Bring on Carolina!!

Next stop...NFC CHAMPIONSHIP!!
What an amazing weekend of football. I enjoyed watching every single game.
I have pledged my allege to the Carolina Panthers even though I live in Louisiana and the Saints are my home team. The gave away Jake Delhomme to stick with pitiful Aaron Brooks. It serves them right that Jake will be playing for the NFC Championship and the Saints are sitting at home watching it on T.V. Jake's parents live about 10 miles from where I do so not only me but the whole state is pulling for Carolina. Go Panthers!
:D Just watched Sportscenter on ESPN and they said this was the lowest total of Points(19) to make the difference between the teams ever.
We may never see another weekend of Divisional Playoffs like this.What a weekend for the NFL. :D
if you could plz not bring that here, i am asking you not flaming you but could you plz not start that Football vs soccer, i want to read about peoples honest oppinions about the teams and who they think its gonna win or loose not this childish bickering of "this is better then that"Quote:

So far 1 of my picks was wrong. (I picked the Rams to beat the Panthers).
I've got my Super Bowl picks
The Eagles vs. The Patriots
And....the winner is??Quote:

I agree, I was hoping for Eagles-Patriots. But of course, first things first, Eagles still have to get passed Carolina next Sunday. Nothing can be taken for granted in these playoffs.
Busyman, I've got Vegas waiting for my call so I can place my bet. Your record is pretty good so far.
Who's it gonna be to win the Super Bowl please? :P
mrlessk :)
I don't like McNabb because he's Irish. :angry:Quote:

BTW-
Carolina beats Philly, then the Colts, to win the Super Bowl.
Count on it.

All the picks were close either way though. Small margins for victories.

Sorry-I assumed you would catch my sarcasm, Busyman.
I'll aim a bit lower next time. :D
I have no problem with McNabb.
We both LOVE potatoes, and Philly is my hometown.
:)
Aww man you from Philly?
I'll be up that way for the Billiard Convention at the butt end of March.
I stay in Philly and drive to King Of Prussia for this every year.
I get 2 for 1 hotel rates at gophila.com.
Unbelievable.Quote:

You a player, too?
In my first (and only) pro tourney (1980) I got schooled by Grady Matthews in the second round.
He told me I was "pretty good" and that I should "keep practicing". :lol: :lol:
My wife and I play in a couples league where we've won top pair 3 years out of the four they've had the trophy.
The year we didn't win it, we didn't play.
I left Philly as a mere tadpole-4 yrs old.
Willie Mosconi had a parlor near an apartment my folks lived in before I was born; my Dad was playing one night when the Man walked in, and consented to my Dad's request for a game of eight-ball.
Willie racked, my Dad broke and ran out; then begged off, as my Mom had given him strict orders to be home by nine PM.
Willie was reportedly not amused. :D
Wow. I've only been playing for about 5 years and I think I'm pretty talented (I'm not egotistical though).
I've got all the techniques down but I need to perfect my masse.
I love playing for money because I have this laid back attitude while the people I play have that stern-faced-Allison-Fisher-Karen-Corr look and automatically think I'm a joke until I beat them a 'second' time. At that point they think I'm some sort of prodigy or weirdo (probably the latter) while I'm taking their money. :lol:
I don't know why I haven't tried going pro. Making music takes most of my free time. <_<
You are obviously a good player to have gone pro at all.
Damn...your pops played Willie Mosconi..isn't there a Cup named after him or am I thinking the wrong sport? I'm in my 30's so bare with me.
Would that we were close enough to play.
It's a great game; it integrates physics and geometry so neatly.
When you make an "unmakeable" shot, because you added a few "unseen" ingredients is kind of a kick to the uninformed or intermediate player.
To this day, though, I learn new stuff; it's not like anything else, that way.
And you're right as to attitude-I get comments on my game often enough, but they still make me uncomfortable, but this is because I know how quickly you can get trimmed on the table, especially if you come on like "King Slate".
I've given a few lessons (real ones), but the best advice I have is to not worry about your opponent-he (or she) will do whatever their game allows them to do, and you can't control that.
You can only control what you do, and then put your game out there against his/hers.
The better game wins-always.
I have become a better player with every loss.
BTW-I never fit the definition of a "pro", whether I played in a tourney or not.
I've played in lots of tourneys, on a regional level, etc., but not on the level of the one I mentioned in my other post.
If I had the pure ability I had then, combined with the experience I have now, maybe that would have been different, but my eyes are problematic, and I don't know if lasers can solve my problem.
Maybe someday-I'm "only" 45. :D
One more thing:
Settle for developing a "usable" masse; don't bother with the trick-shot, 80-degree stuff.
That will do nothing but bring you grief-unless you want to be the next Mike Massey or something.
On second thought....... :P
Willie Mosconi was simply the best, and for a long, long time, too.
I would imagine he has several cups named after him.
My Father's exploits were not recorded for posterity, however. :D
I met Mike Massey at the Billiard Convention. I also met Sardo of Sardo Tight Racks. They have a mini-competition for the fastest break and each winner gets a Tight Rack.
I looked up Mosconi. It's the Mosconi Cup and it's Europe vs. The US.
We won in 2003 when it was played in Vegas.
http://www.mosconicup.com/images/art...Winners21a.jpg
I think the reason I took to billiards quickly was actually my love for math and geometry believe it or not.
I noticed two things that separate ok players from great ones...consistency and focus. You should try the amateur circuit again. A friend of mine and her team went to Vegas to play so ya never know......... ;)
:lol:
How in the hell did this go from Football to Billiards?They done hi-jacked our Thread.
:lol:
:) No I use to really love Billiards.Never went as far as you guys.Just shoot around at the local Bars. :)
Sorry man there was no football atm ;)

Just using pool to bump the thread during football's short sojourn.
This weekend promises more great games, I think.
Busyman-
The amateur circuit would demand time I don't have.
If I won the lottery, though... :)
You have correctly devined that which separates the great from the merely good.
The female pros provide a great example:
Two of the more self-contained pros are certainly Karen Corr and Allison Fisher; extremely focused.
Two of my absolute favorites are Jeanette Lee and Vivian Villareal; each is a tremendous talent, but don't have quite the focus of the former two-they are a bit more extroverted, playing to the crowd, etc., and this often short-circuits their effort on the table.
On the men's side, I like a couple of the new guys-Corey Deuel (kind of a "Brett Favre" player) and a fellow named Robles (out of Brooklyn, I believe) who is VERY focused.
I wish they put the guys on TV more, but the women are pretty good to watch.
Damn man I was going to bring both of them up, Jeanette and Vivian, in my last post but didn't have time.Quote:

I can tell we share the same logic.
They both take chances that Allison and Karen don't take.
For instance, the last two will play safeties when confronted with a pretty difficult shot (not all the time though) but I have seen Jeanette and Vivian screw up by NOT being safe. The crowd says 'ohhhhhhh'. <_<
That's where playing to crowd comes in. They sometimes make super trick-shots and that's just wonderful for glorys sake but in end it's rare I see those two in the championship. Jeanette was the "2001" BCA Champion around the same time Karen Corr stepped up her game.
Now everytime it's Karen/Allison.
About the guys:
They actually have trimmed down the TV time on the male side since 2001.
Now it's basically Trick Shot Magic. I'm going to try going to some matches at ESPN Zone in Baltimore. They have them there ALL the time and it's only about 30 miles away at Baltimore Harbor.
You lucky dog!Quote:

I'd have to go to Chicago, I think, as they occasionally host some events at the "Zone" there.
I have no reason left to go to Baltimore, just an Aunt I don't care for too much. :(

This is a great area to be in (Washington DC) but also the number one target in the world.

I mean Bookworld is seldom used yet Sportsworld would open up a whole new discussions.
The
Colts
Will
Go
ALL
The
WAY
!!!
At least that's what I think when I channel Chris Berman...
:D I think it is time to start another Thread wanting SportsWorld. :D
It's gonna be Colts vs. Panthers in the super bowl. Colts are going to win it all.
;) Yep I think everybody is saying the Colts now.No other Quaterback has ever Played as good as Manning has over the course of 2 Games in the Playoffs.What he has done the past 2 weeks is amazing.
They'll be tested against the 2nd rated defense of New England this weekend. It's also gonna be in cold weather, so that could have an effect on their performance, since they are used to playing in a dome. Somehow though, Manning is gonna play another game of his life and they'll win.

Next time I run to Georgia, perhaps Busyman could bop over to Louisville, and meet us for a few games, FC.
That would be a kick. :)
Put that one waaaay on the back burner, but let's not forget it altogether, huh? ;)
Well, it's three days to go....
And at that time we will know....
From those four left to play....
Which two will we say:
