Cool, well here we are Mr. Hynes. Its going to happen in Colorado! Now you can find a little extra time while you're here to play me a challenge match. :) Ill bet you $500 dollars on it (help pay for your trip if you win). Now is an opportunity to play me on my turf at a great place, on a great table here at the rec center. We'll see who's pointing at the scoreboard afterwards. And you can reply publicly to my offer, so if i repeat that you declined this match proposal too, that you won't get all upset about it. Obviously not a last minute offer either, plenty of time, months and months in advance.
said: Also, I'm not sure why you are trying to bring Billy or Davis into this conversation... Those guys are 3 and 2 time world champions and I do not put you in the same category as them and I hope that you don't try to put yourself there either; unless of course, you try to put yourself in that group by playing and winning a world championship.
I really do hope that you can understand why I feel disrespected by your comments. I listed some of my greatest accomplishments in the sport cause I felt kind of like a running back that just scored a touchdown while being up 41-10 with a few seconds left in the game and some defensive back comes in your face and starts talks smack about what he is going to do to me the next time I carry the ball... Well that was me pointing at the scoreboard. So sorry if I came across as the "GOAT" like Billy pointed out. I had to ask him what that meant... Bottom line Mark, if you want to play me in Colorado, you should become Chris Lee's best friend and get a nationals there, then you will get your wish and we can talk with our mallets like civilized players!

No surprise there, ya yellow bellied sissy chicken.
That's fine. I put some generous offers out there for you.
Don't preach to me about "what's good for Airhockey" anymore when you're too scared to play.

| You are right about me being a yellow bellied sissy chicken. In fact, you are right about everything. What on earth was I thinking??? I apologize for ever thinking that I could preach to you, and will stop immediately. I now have come to realize and understand that you are superior to me in every way. No need to point to the scoreboard, I now understand and apologize if I have caused you sleepless nights concerning my ignorance. I will not waste any more of your time with my meaningless banter. I hope you have a long and prosperous life. Goodbye!!!

Okay so don't be mad then when I make predictions like how i did, when you won't even respond to my challenge, even after I've offered to pay your way here.

| OMG! I've been away from the forums for a month and I come back and this thread is STILL alive? Really? Ladies can we please move on. God gives us only so much mental energy. Go practice for Colorado because if you don't I'm gonna kick all your asses because I'm getting skinny and training to be the champ!

Thank you actually for re-igniting this thread once again, after nearly two weeks of complete silence. I'm glad to see you aren't being biased either, as i was expecting you to go into a rant, defending the yellow bellied sissy chicken. I'm a little confused about your future match postings.....are you playing yellow sissy chicken a match or Shoukry??? Regardless, good luck with all your Ass-pirations. :)

I'm genuinely disappointed i couldn't get this match here. In other sports, you have what's called "Away", and "Home" games. This is to give an equal playing advantage. I wanted to have mine for once against Danny. Even if i won the worlds, i highly doubt that he would come to Colorado to challenge me. Danny, I didn't think that Sharing the fact that you declined my offer Along with my personal and arrogant opinion of me winning more often than not, Would have gotten you so upset. Maybe calling you a "yellow bellied sissy chicken " would, but that was meant to be more comical than anything. I assure you that my real opinion of you is much worse. ;) (not).
I admit I am a very very competitive person in our sport. I hate to lose and I keep coming back for another fight. If I lived down in Houston, I'd probably be playing a challenge match every month, and playing Danny 3 times a year. Sometimes I let my very competitive ways get the best of me. So a large part of me really did not want this thread to get to wild and out of hand. My bad on that. Cummings can take a little credit though with that too. ;)
I do want rivalries and emotion in our sport, and some good jawing goes hand in hand with it, but to Danny, I really truly did not want you being real upset over this situation. For as controversial and competitive as me and my posts come off, I really do want unity in the sport with all its players, as we really are a family.

I think what we have here could be called "cognitive dissonance."  From Nizzi's point of view, he can beat Danny on the few tables in the world that will hold all his shots, and he can't understand why Danny doesn't seem to care one way or another about proving himself against Nizzi on Nizzi's chosen tables.
But from Danny's point of view, I'm guessing he's looking at a much bigger picture. Danny's in a position no other AH player has EVER been in: that is, he's tied for the most USAA Nationals victories ever, with an opportunity to win another one, set the record, and be likely considered the undisputed greatest AH player OF ALL TIME.
Danny's getting older. The Denver tournament will likely be the only Nationals of 2014. In 2015 Danny will be a year older. Danny's game depends on energy and intensity. He has only so much in the tank. His whole focus will be on winning the Worlds. So why would he risk diverting his focus on setting the record and cementing his legacy, in order to beat a guy who Danny figures he's proved over and over again that he can beat?
Everyone sees things from their own point of view. I see where Nizzi thinks Danny should beat him on his preferred turf, just like the Broncos might think the Seahawks haven't proven anything unless they beat the Broncos in Denver. But I also see that from Danny's viewpoint, Nizzi's challenge is barely a blip on the radar screen compared to the big picture of what Danny wants to accomplish in AH.

Robbins,
Instead of trying to analyze what i already explained, perhaps you could do some analyzing on the aspects of improving your gold standard tables. From all i heard, they didn't hold and perform well in the last world championships. This keeps up and several others may be finding themselves more selective about where and what they play on.

The tables in Chicago were broken in, but not broken in enough to hold some of the harder banks. Like any table, the rails get more broken in over time.
The Platonic ideal magical table would hold every shot, no matter how hard, without sacrificing speed and bounce. There's never been such a table. And very few tables in the world meet your approval. That includes the very broken-in Dynamo tables coming to the Denver Worlds.
Yes, I'm guilty of not building a perfect ideal table. But I will say honestly that the GSG table is the best one I've ever designed, and that includes the original Dynamos.
I was in my 30's, like you, when I took the basics of the Brunswick table and morphed it into the Dynamo table, which was an overall improvement. Then I took the best of the Brunswick and Dynamo tables, added some improvements, and morphed it into the Gold Standard.
Like me, you have a vision for what an AH table should be. I invite you and challenge you to design a better table. I will assist you to the extent I can, by providing you parts you need at a reasonable cost. If you're successful, you can license your design to me or the highest bidder. But no, I can't fund your quest for the perfect table or pay you to do it.

Well, if you say your gold standard is the best ever designed, i don't understand some of the feedback from Chicago on them then.

The rails weren't broken in enough, so the puck was flying off too much. I wasn't happy with that either. We also had some puck flips in the goal but that's been fixed on later models. Other than that, all I heard was positive: speed, bounce, goal design, overhead vs. Dynamo's overhead, centerline, faceoff circle, etc.
But back to the point of this thread: Nizzi vs. Hynes. I think my analysis was fair and accurate. You two guys have totally different priorities so you're not connecting.
Your first priority in AH these days seems to be beating Danny a challenge match. It appears much more important to you than winning the Worlds or even playing in the Worlds. Do you deny this? I'm not saying it's a BAD priority - beating the best player all-time in a challenge match is a noble goal. You've done it once and want to do it again.
Danny's priority in AH is completely different, IMO. Beating you another challenge match - on whatever table - just doesn't register. Danny's priority is being ready for Worlds, peaking at Worlds, and winning a record 12th title.

I was under the impression that the Brunswicks play had already been improved upon, so why go back to its design? Also I thought you said the rails there at that tourney had been switched with broken in ones to counter the problems of new rails not being broken in and played enough. So what about that?
As far as my quest on things, I've wanted to play for number 1, and surely not just Danny.

The Dynamo table improved on the durability and goal design of the Brunswick - no popouts, goals and rails tighter, legs stronger - but did not improve on the speed and rail bounce. In fact, the Dynamos were always a tad slower with less rail bounce than the Brunswicks. Ask anyone who started playing on Brunswicks about this.
Due to technical limitations at Dynamo I couldn't get the play to quite match the Brunswick. With the Gold Standard tables I was able to make those tweaks so they should play more like the Brunswicks - but with even more durability than the Dynamo (especially their current tables).
As for the rails in Chicago - some of the tables brought in were brand new, but the new rails were swapped for rails that had been broken in over a period of time at Brunswick Zone. Just not broken in enough.
