I didn't think it would ever come to this, but I was finally forced to remove a post because of of someone going a bit too far with their comments. To this point, I have not thought it would be necessary to police everyone's comments before letting them hit the blog but I guess from now on I will have to select the option that allows me to review them first. It's ok to joke around, even to extremes if you ask me, but there have to be limits as to the degree that we take personal attacks. I don't want you guys to start holding back compared to the normal tone of comments but to whoever it was that decided to go that extra step in an effort to be cruel, that was definitely a bit too much, so please try to show some restraint going forward.
Back to the tennis, the discussion was about Alfonso Rodriguez probably taking 4.5 this year and whether or not Freeman would be putting together a 4.5 super-squad and if so will he finally start receiving the abuse that Green/Benson & other uber-captains receive on the Houston League Blog. And we now pick up where we left off.....

Yes, let's get back to trash talking about Foad's tennis game :) and Sarosh's thinking he's 4.5.
Yep someone hit a low blow and had a potty mouth.
Foad must have gotten one of those "I'm from Houston" seeds at the Coke. I couldn't believe he was seeded 1 because his tournmaent record is not very good. I noticed alot of Houston people got seeded much higher than they should have. Why is the Coke the only tournament that plays favorites?
I don't know if the thread was erased that included the comments that basically alluded to me being a bad sport, but the more I think about it, I retract my agreement. Yes, I do like to talk (alot) and yes I do tend to let every little thing bother me and I usually gladly share that fact with my opponents on and off the court (before, during, and after the match). However, I know for a fact that I am also too often overly generous when it comes to line calls (especially serves) and I usually tell my opponent something like "good shot", "nice" or "too good" every time they hit a winner, force an error, or whenever we have a good rally. That's more than I can say for most opponents who usually are much more likely to shout "COME ON" every f*cking time they hit a winner than they are to ever tell me (or any other opponent for that matter) anything complimentary when I (you) actually do something decent. Plus I probably have at some point told way too many opponents that they are just too good for me or that I know I don't have much of a chance before we even get on the court. So I don't see how someone can insinuate that I never give my opponent any credit for beating me and only give credit to every other factor. The only guys I can think of that rightfully can make a statement like that regarding matches we have played in tournaments would be JR Pogue, Kris Knutson, or Reggie Black (and I am not even sure I have a winning record against any of them as the anonymous postor stated). I do know they have all heard me bitch about a lot of things during matches where they beat me (some close matches, some not so close). I am pretty sure Tim Green, Joe Schornick, Thomas Reader, Mario Gloria, Dave Kaminsky, etc. cannot say that I have not given them the credit they deserve when they have thoroughly and repeatedly kicked my ass. So to anyone who feels I have disrespected them on the court, my apologies, it is not my intention to do so. And regarding the string incident this weekend, yeah, I am sure I went a bit overboard, I usually do, but I was on the court and not even party to the specific discussion that the postor found so amusing . And unfortunately, I am sure I will go overboard again sooner rather than later, that's my thing I guess. And when I do, I will "pussy-up" and apologize for that too. In case you can't tell, I hit the margaritas again at Los Cucos during dinner tonight. I am sure I will regret this post come the morning. But I guess I can always blame it on the wind or the net being too high, right?
The Coke doesnt play favs with it comes to seeding, they seeded based on points earned. If you feel like u should have been seeded, then take ur dumb ass around to different tournaments and accumulate some points. However, i do agree that some of the people that are being seeded do not deserve it.
Kallus who really cares. Dammn you sound so insecure telling everyone your sorry about stupid crap. Just go out and have fun playing. Next time you go play tennis try the following and perhaps you will have a breakthrough:
Stop complaining
Stop making excuses
Have fun
Remember it is just a GAME nothing more.
Kallus, that is classic, not only do you talk too much but now you write too much. I happen to think your a very funny guy, even if it is not always intentional. Keep it coming. Plus, and maybe I am crossing my own line here, you somehow managed to score yourself one hell of a wife from what I have seen of her, so you can't be all that bad a fellow.
Yep, his wife is a hottie.
Yeah whatever.
kallus, dont be like that.
I can't believe anyone that posts on this blog is married.
She looks kind of chunky to me, but then again I don't like round women.
Yeah, damn we need a tourney to talk about......
4.5 Level Tennis.....last time I checked..... Real Players are playing the Open Division.... Yet i am glad to see all of you jumping on Alfonsos bandwagon.. he is after all the top 4.5 bar anyone other than ...well, bar anyone. I taught that dude as a 10 yr old so I guess that's where he gets his stuff..... But seriously, all of the 4.5's, Alfonso included.....get a life.... and if you wanna talk crap.... jump up to Open and then beat players.... There...... Then your comments make more sense..... after all Tennis is supposed to be FUN..... I competed at 4.5 a few years back and had wins over top players but I never made comments or whatever.... I love to compete but not braga bout myself.... PEACE !!!!
Peace out brother.
Two things:
1) 4.5s, don't let Mr. Open Anonymous shut us up. If he wants more Open talk, let him start it. If 4.5 is where we are, then all of our comments are relative to that level of competition and we can say whatever we want regardless of whether or not we can hang at the open level.
2) To whoever it is that thinks it's cool to take negative shots at other players' wives, I assume you are walking around with a supermodel hanging off your arm. If not, please be polite and shut up.
likewise to the open player who posted. there are way too many open players who are in reality 4.0-5.0 level players.
isn't that the whole point to open? The open level is open to all players of any division. If someone is rated 4.5 or 5.0, but wants to play in a division where they can play the highest caliber of players to sharpen their own skills, then what is the harm? Over time, it could improve that player's game. I do not believe that someone playing open is necessarily saying that they are better than another 4.5 or a 5.0 player, they may just have a different goal.
Right on brother.
Yes, the ultimate goal of receiving double bagels for the right to claim that they are an "open" player.
If you are a 4.5 player and want to play open, then why don't you go and play a 3.0 player first to see how the other player feels. Does it feel competitive, or did you just pity the other player and wonder what the hell is wrong with him?
Then sign up and play open.
agreed, damn open players if you are that great, why couldn't you work a little harder and play on the atp tour.
Leave us USTA weekend warriors alone and leave your regrets about your lost career to your therapist.
The difference between a competative open player and a competative true 4.5 player is not nearly as great as the difference between a competative true 4.5 player a competative true 3.0 player, or even 3.5 player for that matter.
4.5 level tennis (or any ntrp level for that matter) merely exists so that a little "tennis glory" can be spread out through the tennis ranks to keep up the enthusiasm for the game. A successful open level player should and would beat a "true" 4.5 level player easily, probably on the order of 6-0, 6-1 on average. you cant do much better than that. by the same token, a true 4.5 should beat a true 3.0-3.5 by the same margin. re-read the first sentence of this post and it will all make sense to you.
So going by the earlier post and applying that to the Coke results, we possibly have this:
Evghenii Corduneanu def. Alfonso Rodriguez 6-1, 6-1
Alfonso Rodriguez def. Scott Alpard 6-0, 6-0
Are either of these scores competitive, or even fun to be a part of?
evgenii would beat alfonso rodriguez 6-0, 6-0 without a doubt, just as every open player in the quarterfinals and better. in fact, throw rodriguez in the 5.0 draw and he would probably see a couple of bagels as well. He is definitely a good 4.5. keep it real people.
Alfonso is definitely not a 4.5 player. Anyone who beats the number 1 player in the state that handily is playing the wrong level.
Wow. Didn't expect to see that type of wisdom coming from Dallas, but Corey is dead on, Alfonso is definitely above tournament 5.0 and probably would have beaten every player in 5.0 with the exception of Amit Garg, Brian Smith, and possibly Thomas Reader.
Alfonso split with Leo Solis, a guy who lost in straight sets to Brandom Halm at the Coke last year and now he can beat every 5.0? Haha, that's a joke.
From what I remember Solis was injured last at the coke last year. Why can't you admit that Alfonso is a strong player? No one is saying he is a strong OPEN player, but he would definitely hold his own at 5.0.
Come one guys, even in the Pro Tour they have levels of players. Therefore, it is not fair to compare an Open player with a 4.5 NTRP player. If you are playing 5.0 you might as well be playing Open because the caliber of play for both divisions is comparable. 4.5 NTRP players are the weekend warriors and former high school and college players that are still playing.
We accept the fact that Alfonso Rodriguez is a top level 4.5/5.0 tournament player, but lost in the argument is whether a mid level 4.5 player should play in the Open division.
Yes, the Open division is exactly that, open to ALL players. But there should also be an amount of respect for other players. If the 4.5 rated player feels compelled to play up, then play 5.0 where the other top 4.5 players play.
There are many examples of players playing at least 2 or more levels up. Do you hear respect for them from the other tournament players, or just contempt and ridicule? Is it worth it to open yourself up to that notoriety just to claim that you play in the Open division? If yes, then you need to visit the narsictic school of psychiatry.
I am surprised there are no major tournaments this month. Seems like we have to wait till May. So how many of you are going to brave the hurricane force winds to play Corpus?
You guys are freaking retarded to think any 4.5 players wouldn't get bageled by Evghenii Corduneanu (possibly with his off hand sitting in a wheel chair) or any player in open of that caliber.
Evghenii Corduneanu would beat all of us if he wanted to. The guy is a mindless animal!
Evghenii however, is definitely a bar above the rest of the players in this past coke. He took Colin Hoover 2,1 or something and Hoover was just cruising until that point. Yeah he would probably bagel every single 4.5 out there. He is far too quick and his shots are far too consistently heavy for any 4.5 player to handle. Even the league 4.5 players like Trent Broach or whatever.
I don't think there's anything wrong with 4.5 players playing Open if it's clear that they can at least somewhat hang (i.e. 3, 3 or so). You can definitely learn something from losing by that score, but double bagel I'm not so sure you can learn so much from except that the other guy is way better than you are...
Evghenii held his own very well in qualifying last year at both River Oaks and the US Clay Courts. No 4.5 player would have even won a game in either of those cases. I could be wrong on that though because Jochen Moser played qualifying at River Oaks last year along with his brother and I do not believe that Jochen was double bageled. Who knows who he played though, I know it was not Evgenii. A better proxy would be how a solid 4.5 player would fare against someone like Adrian Valdez, Sunday Jejede, or Elliot Lopez. Probably a solid butt-whoopin but I bet the 4.5 would win a couple of games.
i agree with that, if you can get to 3 and 3 and really be learning something and working on weaknesses, etc I think playing up is a great thing but getting destroyed can really mess with your game because you aren't learning how to work points you are just surviving and what fun is that.
"wisdom from dallas"
very funny houstonian
I like the note about "tennis glory" because we play USTA leagues and tourneys as a hobby because last time I checked their was no million dollar prize so yes these divisions are created to create more equal competition and I freaking love it!
Tennis may not be among the most popular sports at the pro level but as far as the adult program it just about stands alone.
Just to stir it up some more.
How would a solid 4.5 do against Bruna Colosio (winner of the women's open)?
I don't think he will get double bageled, but is he competitive?
Let's find some way to test it out.
What do we mean by solid 4.5? The top guys like Alfonso or Trautman or the true 4.5 guys like Corey Noel, Kallus, Halm, etc. By true 4.5, I mean they have decent success at 4.5 but they would not have winning records in 5.0. Alfonso & Trautman would both have winning records even if they played 5.0. As would Schmucker. Against true 4.5s, the open lady champion wins easily because she will be just way to consistent and hit penetrating loopy shots that keep the 4.5s pinned behind the baseline.
I feel that in the group of Jegede, Lopez and Valdez that Jegede is again a bar above those two. I'm quite certain that Jegede could take Lopez and Valdez on average any given day. I'd then put Valdez above Lopez just due to the sheer number of tournies Valdez plays.
I'm relatively certain Jegede could blank any 4.5 if he were in relatively good form given that he doesn't play that much these days.
I would hope that a good 4.5 player would be able to beat a 5.5 or 6.0 level female.
The competion in 5.0 sucks. Here is list of players that enter 5.0 tournament. Rodriguiz would kill all of them: Other Players
Ronnie Johnson Greg Schmucker
Ken Sjborg Pat Ashire
Richard Perras Herb Morton
Reggie Black Chris Leech
John Patch Curtis Sims
Alex Pacheco
Miguel Morales
All terrible
Alfonso Rodriguez is the same level as Sarosh and Reader. All of these matches would be a pickem.
All this talk by people about 4.5 not even comparing with Open and using Alfonso Rodriguez as the standard by 'assuming' he would not win more than a game or two against a top open level player would probably be very surprised to know he recently made it to the quarters of a wild-card draw for a satelite a couple months ago in Brownsville...Look it up yo's.
If A > B and B > C then A > C, right?
Alfonso beat Trautmann 6-1, 6-0, Trautman beat Reader by a similar score last year at the 4.5 masters tournament. So then wouldn't that mean Alfonso would...be more than a "pickem" against Reader???
Chris,
How cool. Now you have been called a "moron" too. Welcome to the club. Foad and I appreciate the company.
People don't get any better by playing up and getting their ass kicked. They simply waste other people's time. My guess is that at least 25% of any 5.0 draw probably would not win the 4.0 draw, much less 4.5 - but this is true at every level.
I know several people who call themselves 5.0s and I find it hard to keep a straight face. I imagine most of the bloggers here could list upwards of 10 names in each division that simply don't belong and would not be successful at the immediate lower level much less the level they sign up for.
Listen....it all depends on what level of play you are looking for and how you are hitting the ball on a given day. After I played college (DIV III) I entered a Futures Satellite Qualifying event when I was 23 and I lost 4 and 5 to a Croatian who I couldn't even pronounce his name (ranked 1005 or something) I weighed 165 pounds. Then I joined the military. Now I am 235 pounds and have good close matches in the 4.5.....things change in life
By the way....Kallus.....e-mail me your number so we can set a day/time for a match. We never got to meet in that tournament before the Coke. Bhalm2002@yahoo.com
lol @ that anonymous poster who has serious anger issues. Calm down dude, we get it, you play open and therefore are superior to all 5.0 and below level players in all facets of life. LOL.
Oh my God another idiot just ripped Chris Leach one of the nicest guys that plays tennis because Chris made a joke.
It was a joke.
Pull your head out next time and read between the lines.
Another tard strikes again.
LEACH said: "I would hope that a good 4.5 player would be able to beat a 5.5 or 6.0 level female."
You dumb-fuck Leach-Lover, does that above sound like a "joke" to you? This sounds like what he "hopes" is true. Not a joke dumb fuck.
Also, what does the fact that he is a nice guy have anything to do with the fact that he is damn wrong on how good he thinks men's 4.5 is relative to women's 5.5/6.0??
We need a tournament to talk about FAST, otherwise you guys are gonna tear each other up by comparing this and that with so and so.
HELP!
Yes, I have watched some of the aforementioned women, and I have routinely played 5.5 and Div 1 level women for practice. You are right, they are very strong. Just for the record, I really like women. A lot.
I think the point made about Chris being a nice guy has nothing to do with whether he was right or wrong but that maybe he deserved a little bit more courtesy instead of being called a FUCK. Does using as many cuss words as possible in a post make you feel like a badass or what?
I agree with Chris Leach, though surely I don't love women as much as he does. lol. I have seen solid 4.5's Ward Jannuzzi, Danny Vu and Ted Phoummarath beat one of the top girls around (a 5.5-6.0 type) on occasion when they play at the met.
You can determine my level of education based on four or five lines of text? You are truly gifted. I am pretty sure I can hold my own with you in a game of wits. At least when I am not too busy loving Chris Leach. Or perhaps you were trying to make a statement regarding the United States' overall educational system. In which case, please remove your most-likely french ass from our shores, thank you very much.
"your current state of education" is not rhetorically correct. As the following poster noted, it is "current level of eduction."
Good try though. Your use of swear words obviously makes up for your linguistic deficincies.
Mr. Leach,
With all do respect sir, the "beat-down" that you receive even in 4.5 level makes me think you are not fit to even carry the 5.5/college women's sweaty panties after they work-out much less be value-added playing w/ them.
What are these women gaining except watching an ugly face staring across the net?
Also, Leach-Lover, do you not realize you sound like a beeyyaaccchhh by protecting another Leach the way you do as though you were is wife? Are you?
Anonymous-
Thank you for the all due respect. I cant speak for the value that I have added to these womens' games but they have definately added value to mine. I enjoyed hitting with/playing them. I cant tell you that I would beat or be competitive with the womens' open finalists from the Coke because I havent played them.
Do you routinely play with this caliber of woman? How do you do against them?
Nah, I don't play against these women. I just like to talk a big game, be an asshole and cuss a lot, and of course give my weiner a good tug or two from time to time to make sure it's still there.
Which top 20 4.5 player do you think is having a bad year so far?
trautman
Trautman. Yeah, I guess. He has only won 1 major zone title so far this year and twice lost in finals by quitting against Sanchez. I, on the other hand, have only managed to win 1 main draw match in 3 major zones. That is pretty shitty.
Leach, nothing against you ... it is that Leach-lover ass kiss SoB that is a mess. Dude, stop kissing Leach's ASS! PLEASE be a man you kiss ass.
To answer your question, I have played against some of the top women including a Croatian girl with a full ride to Stanford . I think we ended up the Summer 3-1 me. She was a great player.
You guys are killing me. lol...
Get a grip on reality and stop posting crap on this blog. Damn do you have nothing better to do? I beat a Croatian girl 3-1 over the summer, but she didn't pull my weiner. Weiner who uses that term? I assume you are 9 years old.
Kallus seems like the year has been rough on you so far. How many of those tournaments did you play was the wind a factor?
LOL
Sorry I had to throw that out there.
Foad is also having a really bad year as well. I don't think Foad has made it out of the first round yet and Foad is always seeded 1.
I don't notice things like the wind. When I play, my focus is 100% on hitting the ball and all else is tuned out. I guess few people know that since I am always so tight-lipped and untalkative on the court.
(Damn. April Fools was yesterday, wasn't it?)
my focus is 100% on pulling my weiner
I'm done pulling my weiner. Now a quick cigarette and then ready for a nap.
Did I miss something or what does that have to do with tennis talk Jackass.
Sorry. Let me fix it. I am done pulling my weiner out on the tennis court. Now I will smoke a cigarette while watching the tape of my on court action and then get a bit of sleep so I am well rested for the next time I play. Is that better? Jackass.
I think you have to include Rothe and Hall as having a bad year. Look at their record. One win and that was over Kallus and his partner in three sets.
Who?
Kallus sets the bar for 4.5. if you beat him, then you below in 4.5. if you lose then you belong in 4.0.
Lets have some fun! Fill in the blanks:
- Who will be the rookie of the year in 4.5
- Who will be the most improved player in 4.5
- Who will be the over rated player in 4.5
- Who will be the sportsmanship player in 4.5
- Who will finish the year as No. 1 in 4.5
I would agree about Kallus based on the last couple of years but he has scored wins over guys like Jason Gound, Herb Morton, Tim Green, and almost beat Alfonso Rodriguez at Corpus once. Of course I think all of those matches were at least 3 or 4 years ago. In any case, I would say he is probably toward the upper end of the middle of the pack. Not quite a truly strong 4.5 but decent enough that to lose to him does not mean you are a 4.0 player. I have to think he must have other stuff going on that has taken his focus off tennis or maybe he has been injured or something. Whatever it is, based on results it would definitely seem his game has dropped off over the last year or so.
For a middle of the pack guy, Kallus gets too much talk on this blog. My guess is it is because he plays so many damn tournaments that everyone either knows him or at least has seen him enough to have an opinion. I actually win matches, even a major zone or two, yet I don't see anyone talking about me.

There goes FOAD...back to SAROSH!
You cares if it is Foad. Sarosh is a has been and will not be playing tournaments so why do people talk about him.
Here's one for you. What HOUSTON 4.5 tournament player is in the best shape/best endurance and what 4.5 tournament player is in the worst shape/least endurance?
How about the fatest players?
Unless you've played & beaten a player you have no right to talk trash about their ability. Period. Too many people on here write checks their egos can't cash. Players like Kallus & Leach are no easy wins. Players who have played them know this. Plus they are willing to put it on the line statewide, unlike many of you who only play locally so you can sleep in your own beds with your teddy bears & only dream about winning tournaments.
Well put to the previous poster.

Alfonso Rodriguez
You can talk about the players who play tournaments not being as good as league players all you want, but at least they are willing to travel 100s of miles, spend tons of their hard earned dough & risk playing the local ringer (who quite often only plays their local event to hide, and protect their precious rating for leagues). What's more, statewide tournament players play more often than not, banged up & less than 100% which oftentimes causes many of the unexpected losses to players who may be deemed "lesser" by the blogsperts. As far as I'm concerned,(and many others I know) unless you are willing put it on the line in foreign turf/conditions etc, your lame opinions are never going to be taken seriously (as if it mattered anyway) by the real players. Anyone can have one good tournament but try playing in the Corpus wind or the blazing heat of Waco & Tyler during the summer, or in the cold early in the year, against many different types of players, then you'll have my respect. No matter who a guy plays, it still takes a lot of quality play at the zones to maintain a high ranking year after year. (watch how many players who played the coke, suddenly vanish into thin air the rest of the year). All of you one hit wonders couldn't possibly understand this. Or maybe you do but are too afraid to put your precious reps on the line. Winning or doing well at the coke doesn't seal your rep as so many of you think. We all work so don't use that lame excuse either, as to why you don't travel.
I agree with the last post. When a person plays tournaments he faces so many different types of playing styles that it is really difficult to beat everyone you are "supposed to beat". Players like Zheng, very consistent will not blow anyone of the court but he has made 2 semi finals, he's not flashy but gets the job done. Casas another steady guy, great backhand, terrible forehand, outlasts everyone. It's a shame those league guys dont have what it takes to handle the what tournament players have to face.
You are right, the more you travel and the more money you spend the better player you are.
This is quite funny that Leach is getting knocked for saying what he said. It is not totally true or totally untrue. No 4.5 or 5.0 without a serve will beat the top women's open players but it IS a fact that a good number of the top 5.0s, if they have a big serve (in the order or 115 to 130mph) and/or good volleys and dependable ground strokes WILL definitely beat the top open women. That is a PROVEN FACT. So, chew on that, Mr profanity on every other word.
Actually, change that speed range to 100 to 130mph; let's not get too carried away.
You tourney players don't want us league players to play tourneys. Your precious little rankings would drop at least 30 spots, you would then lose interest in the sport and have to take up something like ballroom dancing to feel good about yourselves.
Yeah I am scared of league players in tournaments. NOT! None of you could hang in the Texas summer heat so give me a break. I would however enjoy watching you slowly whither and cramp up on the court.
Oh yeah in case you didn't know this tournaments are actually scored 2 out of 3 sets with no lame no ad or the pussy 10 point third set tiebreaker.
So please by all means play all the tournaments.
i like league tennis because it's once a week. However, the scoring system sucks. no-ads? third-set tie breaker? WTF?
yikes they play no ad in Houston, that is crappy. I am not a fan of the 3rd set tiebreak but the USTA keeps forcing it to stay so I guess we are stuck with it in league. That would be the one thing I like more about tourneys
Houston plays no-ad because their matches are on weeknights instead of the weekends. Some captains get together before a match and agree to play regular scoring, just depends on who is playing.
Just heard from a buddy who heard from a buddy that the Great S, The Sarosh, The Cock Roach himself, told him that he beats up on Schmucker every time they play! What's funny is the Great S also said not to tell anyone since Schmucker made him promise not to tell anyone that he beats up on him.
Schmuck, this is what you get for trusting the GREAT SaRoach!
May can't get here soon enough!
I don't know what is sadder Greg not wanting people to know the G-Sarosh kicks his butt in tennis everytime they play. Or G-Sarosh is proud of kicking Greg's butt.
Who is going to Corpus? I imagine the 4.5 final might be the same as the Gallery. Will Red go back down to Corpus? He made a nice run in singles last year.
Are there any decent places to stay down there? If so, where?
RAUL NINO will win Buc Days...Alfonso Rodriguez is overrated!!! He's not even the best 4.5 player in the Valley. Why don't you Houston guys just man up and play a Valley tournament...we're getting a little tired of winning your tournaments!!!
JUST IN!!! Ivan Leal, the best 4.5 player Texas has ever seen is making a comeback!!! He is my pick to finish the year at #1. BTW, he has NEVER lost to Alfonso Rodriguez in 10 meetings...last victory was 6-2, 6-0 in 48 minutes!!

Rodriguez is a great player, Leal is a great player, Casas is crafty and annoying, Kincer is solid and a nice guy, Nino couldn't even beat Kallus at the Coke a few years back so I assume his name being mentioned is 100% a joke. Real funny Valley, start your own blog so that you guys can spend all your time talking about how much you kick our asses.
It is really stupid to make a big thing out of practice matches. I hear from several people that if you play the Great S in a practice match, be fully aware that he will talk about the score to everyone and tell everyone how much better he is. Also, I heard that if you beat him, the Great S will still tell people that he has beaten you. I dont know this guy personally and have never seen him, but he is definitely infamous! They say fame lasts 15 minutes, but infamy last a life time. Good luck Great S with the reputation that you have created for yourself.
To the guy on the receiving side, Mr. Schmucker, I am sorry for you for trusting such a person to keep something private. Hopefully, you wont fall for it again.
What's worse? Bragging about winning a practice match or swearing people to secrecy about the result? Both pretty pathetic if u ask me
I have one word for Jacob Casas, CHEATER!!!! The guy is a good player, and pretty crafty, but if you have to cheat to win, you get no respect from me.
Now we are talking about a match that may or may not have taken place between Schmucker and Sarosh and a practice match at that. Who gives a Sh*T. Oh my God such in such lost to whomever. Damn some of you are really bored and looking for drama to be posting on this site. I don't see Sarosh or Schmucker commenting on this suppose match.
I bet neither of them even waste their time on this crappy blog.
Maybe someday some of you can move on from the negative crap.
Research Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and get back with me.
