			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By now I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve heard the story.  Two porn stars were caught recently being indicted for brutally murdering a man with a sledgehammer.  The reason this falls into the billiards blotter is that the woman was hired by (and arrested at) The Chattenoga Billiards Club to be the place&#8217;s manager.  The guy who owns this place must&#8217;ve been seriously out to lunch, because the level of insanity that these people displayed is simply impossible to miss by anyone paying attention.</p>
<p>Anyway, the text transcripts have been released (yes, these scumbags were texting each other leading up to the murder).  If you want to read it, I&#8217;ve posted it below, but be warned.  This is seriously fucked up shit that make your skin crawl  (the naughty words were edited in the transcript I found).</p>

J: I know babe.  I’ve got your back, I’m just excited!<br />
A: They are packing up.  I’m (expletive delated) excited to (expletive delated) up someone (expletive delated) I want to (expletive delated) after we kill him.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.poolcuenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/dive.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-303" title="dive" src="http://www.poolcuenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/dive-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>So the Daily Star in the UK ran a story yesterday talking about snooker players betting on themselves to lose.  This comes on the heels of the bribery scandal where Scot Higgins allgedly got paid to take a dive.  Seriously, is this even newsworthy?  Dumping is a time honored tradition in this game.  This is the whole reason why Vegas refuses to make a book on any billiards events.  Its way too easy to dump and/or fix.  Don&#8217;t tell me you&#8217;ve never heard of a pool player dumping or offering to chop the purse prior to entering the finals of an event.  You can find the article <a href="http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/view/144899/Steve-Davis-Snooker-stars-bet-on-themselves-to-lose/">here</a> if you want to read it.</p>
<p>For the record, this isn&#8217;t the only game that gets its fix on.  Same thing happens <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/tennis/news/story?id=2959748">in tennis</a> and we&#8217;ve all heard the boxing stories (which might explain why no one gives two shits about boxing anymore and MMA is the rage).</p>
