Earl Strickland The Story

I recently found a video on YouTube while searching for pool videos of Earl Strickland.  It's called Earl Strickland The Story The greatest ever.  The video is about 45 minutes long and it's a documentary on probably one of the greatest pool players ever and also probably one of the most misunderstood pool players ever.

If you are a fan of Earl Strickland or don't know much about him, you really should watch this video.  Before watching this, I had always thought Earl was just a whiner and liked causing controversy.  I thought maybe his "game" was antagonizing the other player to throw off his opponent's game.  After watching this video, I have a little better understanding of what makes him who he is.

It's a very excellent look at the fiery Earl Strickland.  There are some really good stories that Earl tells and some of the top pros talk about him also.  It's at times funny, at times inspiring, and at times really sad.

If you have about 45 minutes, take a look.  You might change your mind about Earl too.
