pretty interesting article on the state of pool today. some try-hard use of pool terminology that is a little annoying in places, but definitely worth a read.

Paints a pretty bleak picture of the current state of pool. Can the same thing happen to tournament poker in the near future?

That Strickland guy sounds like the Hellmuth of pool.

Scooter Goodman is an idiot. He is a walking stereotype of why pool has a bad reputation. Scooter starts whining about how he got robbed after he lost. A hustler getting hustled.

Really, really enjoyed the Grantland article (and the 1961 SI article about Fats, linked within). Thanks for posting that.
