faking an injury
« on: December 14, 2003, 10:43:47 AM »
Has anyone ever faked an injury 'cause they were bowling so bad? I was bowling a tournament yesterday with a 60' flat pattern and scored a 96. LOL! I started faking like my knee was hurting around the 8th frame. I was so embarrassed! Out of the 4 games my high game was 147. LOL! I left in a hurry after the tourney was done because everyone knows that I avg. 220 and were laughing that I bowled that poorly. I know other people must have faked an injury before please share your stories so I dont feel so bad.

KO

That a way komike !!!  Go win that tourny.  And when you win that money and you take that pail they give you with all the money in it you can go buy a shovel.  Then with the pail and the shovel you build yourself a nice big sandcastle you sandbagger.

By the way, you better kick down or I'm gonna report you.

Patrick, knock it off...you can mess with me all day, but not on something like this!!  That was a practice session, a casual get together...and I didn't FAKE an injury! It was a Clutch "let me spin this story so it's funny" trick!  Did I have to leave before everyone else was done ?? Yes, I did have to leave ,..after 6 games...prior commitment....everyone soon forgets that I was the only one there ON TIME and had 2 games in before everyone else got there, but ...."whatever"

I would never , and have NEVER done that in ANY competitive situation EVER in my life !

End of discussion......

No need to fake injuries, its not good for anybody. In my case, I bowl with injuries. Popped my back out of whack, shot 680 and couldnt move. Bowled again the next week after aout 6 visits to the chiropractor. Tried to avoid spilled water on the stairs, lost my balance, broke my foot and the start of the 2nd game. Finished the game by gimping up to the line and throwing the ball, shot 200. Was forced by my teammates and girlfriend to quit and go to the hospital. Bowled again the next week with it in an air cast. 2 bad knees, put the brace on and go for it. The list goes on and on.....but I would never fake an injury for any reason.....unless I had just won the lottery....

Jeff please tell the truth, you faked an injury to get out of a poor performance during a tournament.  You even admit that its a 6 gamer.  I remember when Nicanor was here for a BR get together and he strained his back and couldn't throw the ball during a 6 gamer.  6 gamer sound familiar?  Well unlike you, Nic tuffed it out and bowled all 6 games completing the tourney with a strained back.  I remember your post all too well.  You bowled 1 practice game and did well bowling a 256.  Then when the tourney started you did horrible so you faked the injury and left.  You didn't even stick around to hang with the boys.

well John.....no one would ever know ONE of the scores I shot that day but you.....

however,....I've bowled in 2 tournaments since Nov of 2001, both in the Spring/Summer of 2002, one at Cherry Hill Lanes in Dearborn Heights, MI, (missed qualifying by 40 pins) the other in July at MerriBowl in Livonia, MI.  (came in 7th out of 94, cashed, $250). Both sanctioned under the MidStates Masters Organization, now called the American Masters Bowling Assoc.

This so called "tournament" that you are referring to was at Wonderland lanes on a weekday afternoon....one of many that took place...casual BR get togethers....

Whatever pcheeclutchjohn ............

Others can vouch for me as well, so go on with your "stir the pot"....we'll all get a kick out if it!

LMAO!

KO,

You say they were all laughing because you bowled so poorly, but it could also be that they were laughing because they all saw right through your little "I'm injured" charade.  You went out of your way to make yourself into the laughing stock of the tournament.

Think about it.  You bowl 7 frames with no apparent injury, and everyone on your pair sees that you are fine, just bowling lousy.  You finished with a 96, so you probably had a score no higher than 72 through 7.  Suddenly, you develop an injury and start hobbling around.  Hahahahahahaha!  Who did you think you were fooling?  Not the people on your pair, that's for sure!

If you'd put as much effort into figuring out what to do to bowl better, as you did into your little performance, you might have managed to bowl a decent game or two.

you know...faking injury is not a good thing to do i don't think.  as it has been said everyone has bad nights..just deal with it.  just like blaming equipment, or lack of on a given night.  i don't care what rock you are throwing on what condition, you should almost always be able to get reletivly close to the hole, and at that point it is about spare should give you a decent score.  and if you have a bad night big deal.  but i don't think the guy should be ripped to shreads like he has been by a lot of the people on here, he was asking an honest question....why blow him apart?

If I remember correctly, the last time out we met at Thunderbowl during lunch and you had a toe injury.  You toughed it out and shot about 10-15 sticks less than me.  You faked the injury but you toughed it out so I give you credit.



Uh, no, we never bowled at Thunderbowl......

Too funny.  Check out Jeffrevs try to laugh it off to cover up his lameness.  Ouch my toe hurts I can't bowl.   Waaaaaaaaaaa!  JBOD can you hold my hand as I go to the bathroom?  Just admit it.  You bowled your 250 and thought that you were going to put on a show.  Then when the lights came on you chocked, faked an injury, then took you balls and went home.  Hey, should I tell everyone about the time that you faked a phone call from your wife so that you could leave when you were bowling poorly?  "Wife called something came up I have to go sorry I can finish bowling"  Now that is a hoot and a hollar!

Its kinda cool how the greatness that is clutch remembered the secretness that is my password when I told him that very secretment 2 years ago!  Too funny!
