Never Wrong Gary Long and Paul Kretz - What a pair!

Paul Kretz feeling the pressure
Gary "Curly" Long and a close friend


Gary Long

1.    What are you most looking forward to in 2014?

Hopefully, all of our T & D teams (Div. 2 combined, 3 and 5) making it
      to the T & D finals at Cedar Springs

2.    Who would you want as your wingman on a night out and why?    

Nate because sometimes the girls come over to me with their phone number and ask if I’d make sure my son (who they think is Nate) gets it, then I take over from there making sure he’s set for the night…actually that makes me a wingman

3.    If you could replace one body part which one would it be and why?  

My hair because of that friar tuck look, with a close second, my gut because it keeps getting in the way of the steering wheel.

4.    What do you think Ray Coates is doing now?

Getting ready to board a flight back to Canada (see below, option “C”)

5.    The weekend of the Calcutta Byron will:
a)    Be too tired to play because of ovulation duties
b)    Miss a game due to recruiting responsibilities
c)    Hire Ray Coates to be a Byron clone for duties at home
d)    Forgo karaoke and shots for pizza and wings
e)    Win the Calcutta
Is this a trick question?  A, b, c, d  (not experienced enough for “E” but very experienced for a, b and d)

6.    What is the one team that you really want to beat in this year’s Calcutta.

Isn’t it  obvious and probably everybody else’s answer….”Mike Donnelly’s Team”

7.    Ok you’ve seen the post “Who’s your favourite and why?”  Please weigh in with your answer. 

The one with the easiest name to pronounce – Doug Trumper!

8.    Predict one team that will get knocked out in the first round?

Nate’s because that usually happens to him and his partner…oh, I may be confusing his Calcutta history with his Van Wely tournament history

9.    Who do you think will win it all?

Choices?  Bowder/Hurtubise (if Brent listens to his partner), Crook/Camacho (if they venture ahead of  the red line) and Clark/Jury (if Clark figures how to dig out those deep slow lobs on his backhand and Jury stays away from the tin)

10. What is something that not a lot of people know about you but you WISH more people COULD know? 

I’m a spy for the Chinese government gathering viable Canadian information while pretending to be a doubles squash player

11. How many times have you been naked in public? Feel free to elaborate.

In grade 12, a buddy and I streaked at a bridal shower and 30 minutes later we watched 2 of the girls at the shower streak through the old McDonalds on Lakeshore Rd. in Oakville.  Wow , what a view , especially when one of the girls (heading for the rear exit of the building) wiped out while trying to navigate a corner turn.

12. If you won a million dollars and needed to spend it in 3 months, how would you spend it?


Probably fixing up the house and with money left over, I’d  somehow try to turn the BFR club around  by trying to buy the squash portion of the club.


Paul Kretz

1.    What are you most looking forward to in 2014?

 Going away to the islands

2.    Who would you want as your wingman on a night out and why?  

Wingman would be Norm Gaudette because he can talk women into anything and make friends with the jealous husbands   

3.    If you could replace one body part which one would it be and why?  

My ears be deaf so I don’t have to listen to Pozzo anymore. (It helps to be deaf with Gary as your partner too.)

4.    What do you think Ray Coates is doing now?

Reading Gary Longs book on why I am never wrong!!  Sorry parnter

5.    The weekend of the Calcutta Byron will:

Trying out for Team Squash Canada

6.    What is the one team that you really want to beat in this year’s Calcutta.

All of them no preferences

7.    Ok you’ve seen the post “Who’s your favourite and why?”  Please weigh in with your answer. 

Shania Twain.  No one can top her (editor’s note:  here is an example of Kretzy living in the past.  Shania was one of the options last year.  Just like your run to the finals was last year.  Come on dude.  Wake up and smell the coffee.)

8.    Predict one team that will get knocked out in the first round?

VanWhaley and Smith (Exhibit B –who are these guys?)

9.    Who do you think will win it all? 

Long and Kretz

10. What is something that not a lot of people know about you but you WISH more people COULD know?   

I can lick my eyebrows!

11. How many times have you been naked in public? Feel free to elaborate. 

Do hot tubs count …too many and must not elaborate as too many players in tournament could be revealed

12. If you won a million dollars and needed to spend it in 3 months, how would you spend it? 

It would last about one night going to casino with Crook, so I would rent a jet and take 30 Friends and family golfing around the world.
