Earl talks to himself because sometimes he needs expert advice.

Earl had a mini heart attack on that winning 9 ball lol

Earl is and always will be a diva. He’s dramatic, he’s expressive, and sometimes he’s a bit obscene. It’s just part of his genius. Love him or hate him, he’s genuine and sincere.

4 legends of the game, all of them missing relatively easy shots at some point during this match.  Just goes to show that when the pressure is at its highest, even the best can fall victim to nerves and careless errors.

As a European I wish America still had players like Earl he gave so much charisma and made it so much more enjoyable because he genuinely was into it

Earl will be fun to watch in 2021 Mosconi cup. I wish I could be there to witness directly how he swears

I love Earl he’s a Gunfighter. I’ve met Efren and I’ve met Earl. Earl has always been approachable and willing to talk about the game. Efren is much more reserved, very quiet

I'm proud of Mika for keeping his cool after missing the 7ball.

I feel the pressure in Van Boening hands being partnered with the legend.

Even as a European fan, I miss watching Earl Strickland play. He makes pool watchable for the casual/semi fans as he is entertaining as well as a top, top player.

Love that Earl made the winning shot despite these "holier than thou" asshole commentators and sound crew did their best to kill the raw emotion involved. So  I say for Earl, FUCK YEAH!!!

The commentators are obsessed with Earl's antics, complaining that it's basically uncalled for, that it doesn't help him, etc. Reality check: Earl is one of the greatest pool players ever and he's always been like that. It's part of his personality. He can't switch it off. If he tried to suppress his emotions, he would probably lose. He needs to let off steam.

you guys have to give us a game listening to Earl cause that guy is funny to me. reminds me of me at my last job lol just pissed off all the time and cussing and whatnot lol

If I wanted to hang out with one of them, I'd pick Mika.  If I wanted to learn pool, I'd choose Earl.

Strickland is gonna be awesome in 2021 Mosconi Cup this time :)

Is this a family network channel?
This is pool, not I’m here to protect your children’s ears
I’d like to hear what Earl has to say, embrace it

Shane definitely turns his hearing down around earl💀

TV Producer: OK guys, this is the Mosconi Cup.  I expect you to pump up the testosterone to 11.  Pump your fists and jump up and down on the table when you win.  Earl, you just act normal.

Who says watching pool ain't entertaining. Holy cow.

Shane definitely looked up to Earl at one point when he was just an up and comer in the pool world, now he is playing by his side. Congrats Shane! Those who knew him when he was younger knew he would be competing with the best someday!
