Pool Cue News and Review

The GenerationPool air dates have been announced by the BCA. It looks like we’ll be having a pool marathon on July 19th. Here’s how it all breaks down hour by hour on ESPN.

2008 GenerationPool.com 9-Ball Championships ESPN Schedule:

This is a huge improvement over last year when ESPN buried the men’s programming in the middle of the night (that was the one where Van Boring got skunked 7-0 in the finals). The Archer v Wiseman match should be pretty interesting, especially if they capture the whole “sharking” thing that got Wiseman’s panties in a bunch.

I love this… Jeanette’s clearly got something other than pool on her mind as she accidentally draws a giant schlong with the telestrator. If you frequent the AZ Billiards forum, you’ve probably seen this one before, but I had to repost it anyway. Be sure to turn up the sound because shortly after Jeanette’s slip, someone tears off a crap inducing fart that even the commentators can’t ignore.

Fucking priceless! The full clip with the post fart reaction from the commentators can be seen at Break.com. Since Wordpress is YouTube’s bitch, I couldn’t imbed the clip from Break.com.

Well, there are all of two events being broadcast on ESPN/ESPN2 this month. The rest has been pushed over to ESPN FILLER …err CLASSIC. Not surprisingly, the only events on the big stations are trick shot shows. Here’s what we’ve got for professional pool on ESPN for the rest of March 2008:
