Cranker-itis (rant inside)
« on: November 11, 2008, 10:48:20 AM »
What's up with the people on the forums here bashing on anyone who doesn't turn the hell outta the ball on TV?

Apparently, according to multiple sources, TV this week is going to be boring because there aren't enough "crankers" on TV.


(mind you, this was said before any of the spots for the TV show this week were decided...so by looking at the top 8, they decided...)

1. Parker Bohn is boring to watch
2. Bill O'Neill and Mike Wolf are not crankers
3. Pete Weber is boring to watch and not a cranker

What the heck do you guys want, TJ on the show every week so it's not "boring?"

There's a reason TJ isn't on the telecast weekly. Cranking the ball doesn't always work. You have to be versatile (I know TJ is versatile, I'm just using him as an example, because he's the favorite cranker of most of these geniuses who complain about the telecast being boring.).

If you think it's boring, go out and make TV, that way you don't have to watch it, you're on it! Or even better: DON'T WATCH. That'll teach the PBA! Their ratings will suck when TJ doesn't make the show, and then they'll build the shot just for him, YAY!

This backseat bowling (house-hacks instructing about what a good bowler is) is stupid as hell, and I'm hoping I'm not the only one sick of it.

And for the record Parker Bohn is fun to watch, lol.


Amen. Could not agree more. I think he's probably the most enjoyable for me to watch. Look at that form. I dare you to find anyone more textbook. He is bowling.
