Generally not fun getting old but sometimes its good for a laugh like when I remember how resin was the cheater ball when it supplanted urethane as the go to ball.

Aren’t you old enough to remember soakers and bleeders and urethane’s first go round?

Boy, former and current pros are airing all the dirty laundry on Facebook. Word “integrity” getting thrown around a lot. From guys that were getting hummers in their cars between breaks while their pregnant wife was at home and in some cases in the bowling center.

I’m more interested in hearing this story and how it came about? Cheating on his wife and while pregnant?

Do we really need the sordid details?  I am sure there are many "indiscretions" going on not just in bowling but all professional sports.  It just makes me laugh that there are bowling groupies strolling around the bowling centers LOL [Although I have seen some of the "courting behavior" of the teens attending the local JBT tournaments, so maybe it isn't so hard to believe...]

Personally I always thought there was some "tension" between Belmonte and Kimberly Pressler.  Not sure why.  Maybe because he seems to enjoy his mic time with her more than anyone else during the pre-game and post-games interviews?

Belmonte likes to talk.  I don't care for him in interviews nor do I like his commentary or sideline reporting on the occasions he does that kind of work.  I think he and Kimberly are just acquaintances.  She appeared on Belmonte's blog/podcast he was doing during the pandemic.

Kimberly is OK, but she has a habit while interviewing people of allowing her eyes to noticeably scan up and down peoples faces while they are responding to her and it is kind of distracting.  It is like she is saying in her head "look at their mouth...look at their eyes...look at their mouth..look at their eyes..."  She is no Erin Andrews in terms of poise and overall quality of interviews.

True, she is no Erin Andrews, but she sure has a nicer set of....assets, yea that's it. :-)

Lets face it.  If she was anything close to Erin Andrews she would most likely not be on the PBA.  But back to the topic at hand.  Rash needs to be suspended for a lot longer than 1 tournament.  He has had multiple outbursts on TV while using profanity.  He blatantly stated he doesnt care about the fines that were about to be imposed.  At the end of the day....would anyone really miss him?  For trying to give off the persona he is such a tough guy; I cant remember anyone boohooing as much as he has in front of the cameras.  The only time I can think of where it made logical sense is when he first started on tour and a close friend of his tragically passed away.  I could be wrong though.
