Commentators are hillarious! They're like The Pinky and The Brain 😂

Earl 100% threw this match. It almost looked like he was disgusted with himself for doing so but really needed the money.

Earl has always been his own worst enemy.

The commentators need to shut the fk up,it’s non stop babbling.

That Cj is for real a fire breathing dragon. Much respect

Man after really giving this game a close look it almost looks like Earl is dumping this something just doesn’t look right about this game to me just saying I know CJ is a great player but something going on in this game

Earl can hammer CJ any day of the week, Earl gave this match to CJ as a lesson learned. where's my money? Earl simply has no respect for CJ along with any respect for CJ's game.

These commentators are total idiots. How's the comment about jump cues having to be cremated? Jesus.

I'd either forgotten he had died or didn't know. Truly sad about it.

Efren put Wiley's ego on hold!😮😂

dj wiley is my favorite player.

9-ball is actually boring.

The best Earl the Squirrel match I've seen...Losing brings out his true nature. Hanging his head in shame. The arrogant prick needs some humility to match his new pot gut.😆😆😆 I also enjoyed seeing him getting beaten in "The Color Of Money" Hong Kong match. GRRRRRR!!!! HaHaHa

That one commentator hated Earl Strickland jeez! Just murdering him on commentary

I don't think ever in my life I've seen Earl play that bad and he went up against a guy who had retired for 8 yrs damn

I've never "extrapulated" myself from a chair. I gotta try that!

Earl appears to be in some sort of physical pain; he doesn't want to be here. Despite a few flashes of his usual brilliance at the table, he's suffering from some condition that's keeping him out of the game.

50 demerits to the promoter for providing that Christmas Tree bridge stick. What an unusable piece of crap that thing was. Unbelievable.

that dudes spikey hair

3:11 the reason both players had many unforced errors.

What a crummy performance by Earl. He should have stayed at home. Looks like somebody went swimming!

Earls mental illness is one of the safest stories

Earl reminds me of me when I miss

Duh .2006 was the year this was filmed in .

The crew I was working with at CJs palace at the time worked on the tables for the million dollar runs .

This wasn’t to long after his divorce. I think Earls mind is somewhere else.

Earl is a great ambassador for pool. He did so much for the game and then dose this after people came out and paid there money to see him play it was a insult to the game and anybody that has invested in themself to play better, AS far as I am concered F Him there is no reason for this. IF things were so bad then he should forfite the match.

I’m a huge pool enthusiast. How have I never heard of CJ Wiley before? This guy is/was a killer. Before any unnecessary comments, I’ve watched hundreds of hours of pool, and I love old school games. Maybe he only played a few tournaments?

maybe DICKland can get his rack-boy job back. hahaha.

I am a big Strickland fan, but this was embarrassing. I hope Strickland watches this match every once in awhile and feels ashamed. As great as Strickland was, think about how great he could have been if he had his head on straight most of the time. In this match he embarrassed himself and showed no respect for the game. Shame on you Earl. Hopefully you have addressed your mental issues.

Earl wasn't happy being shown in 240p . . .

Damn, that lady Melissa is too distracting LOL.

Strickland was overated for 75% of his career

Strickland can be such a douchey weird o

Commentators are such haters on the jump cue. The game is evolving. Just accept it and don’t be stuck in the 60s.

@39:20 the Mother Cabrini Joke.. funny I live in Denver where Cabrini lived and did a lot of work, and visited her shrine in the mountains here

I don't care how bad Earl played or how dark his mental state was at (many) games, his explosive or some would say negative attitude... He is still one of the Greatest pool player that ever live, and watching him play is a luxury to the eyes, either he wins or loses, that smooth straight strokes and shots he made is just... I've never seen a better stroke. Nowadays maybe Jayson Shaw is closest to him when it's about pocketing balls, but Earl's stroke felt more "good" in my eyes, so satisfying to see him play.

OMG. MARK,… There is a way to present all what is happening in a much better fashion. (and) Did I just hear someone say D. Dilaberto was right there? Put him in ! He would salvage this commentary, and with humor. And…look, I don’t know what is going to happen but for you to present this as a done deal is just wrong. Either of these players are very capable of coming back from 7 : 2 with “ winners break “.

Only into rack 5 and I have to say terrible commentary! Their wording of (so far) every situation would be a turn off to anyone tuning in, and even me,a die hard Pool fan. Come on Jerry, I have always thought highly of you.

worse play earl has ever had......must have had something on his mind in those days

Enjoyed it.

Well done!.. it goes to show the mental aspects of the game.

Earl at 15 (poor) was so animated and emphatic on his gaining the world title's 🌎 happy to be shooting, his anguish after having accomplished this deed has got to be related not to his skills but to outside pressure.

That one announcer needs to be taken out back and "whooped" as my grandpa would say...heck he didn't even know what a Just-a-bridge was...and the way he kept downplaying jump cues was absurd! It was obvious Earl did NOT feel well.

Little insider trading

👍

Whatever Earl's mindset was during this match, it was a pleasure to NOT have to hear him blather on and bitch the whole time.

The commentator working with Billy should have been in a confessional booth so only one person could hear him.

Pool commentators are some of the snarkiest dickheads you’ll ever hear.

I feel like I could get in on this game and I suck!
