That's hilarious. He and Johnny Archer came to San Antonio in September of 2008. He said "I'll shoot you full of holes." He was talking to the whole crowd and telling a story. Must be a favorite line of his. Anyway, he and Archer put on a good show. He signed my cueball and was very polite. I also got to take a picture with both of them. Earl is a monster on the table but at least from my experience, a gentleman while signing memorabilia and talking to fans. So was Archer by the way.

I believe the guy at the back was taking sarcasm to another extreme..

HE IS A GENIUS

In fact their medical condition is probably partly responsible for their success in the sport. As for Earl & this interview, the 5 or 6 times that I have had the chance to meet & talk to Earl, this was the way he treated me. If you talk to him like a human being he will respond in kind! Try going up & talking to Tiger Woods, IF you get past his Security! You'll get a "who are you" & "Why are you talking to me"!

Earl is a very colorfull personal and a great player when he is in the zone.

Go Earl ;-)

I love it. That's the Earl I want to see!

I love that

Just want to let all know that while we're waiting for BCn to upload new vid, check out Xeniumcool's channel. He has the 1996 Hong Kong challenge of Efren & Earl race to 120 for $100,000 loaded in its entirety. Also check out Phantomudd's channel, he has some complete matches of 9-ball & Straight pool, including Efrens very 1st 14.1 match. Thanks to both Xeniumcool & Phantomudd for the uploads.

earl is a good boy that day. The guy in the background can't believe what he hears.. lol

@fastballonly He looks like he's from Thanfranthizko

When you have won 5 US Opens, 6 World Titles & can break and run 11 consecutive racks of 9 Ball for $1 Million, then & only then can you run Earl down for his attitude & behavior. He has every right to be upset about the lack of respect he gets, considering his accomplishments in the sport! I've heard it mentioned before & his behavior shows signs of being "Bi-Polar", A condition that could easily be treated with medication. J. Archer shows signs of "OCD"

wtf is that guy doing in the background?

THE PEARL!!! THE KING!!!

@lemonite1 damn what kind of cigarette did u give him

This video is hilarious after watching Joe Rogan do Earl.

lol the child in the BG

@sixcues Not really, after he lost a match to Reyes, I was smoking outside and Earl Strickland came up and asked me for a cigarette. Anyways, he started going off how he got unlucky and his temper started to flare. I never said a word and he started to get mad at me for being Asian. He ended up saying some nasty things to me and all I did was give him a cigarette.

could it be Diliberto?

wow, an honest and happy earl... dont see that too often... nice to see that..

lol earl strickland is fucking insane.

That's not Strickland. Its his good twin.
