Sean Rash is a breath of fresh air
« on: May 15, 2008, 04:15:31 AM »
It's so nice to see an athlete that's not afraid to talk smack and let everyone know just how good he is!  It's been too long since someone has stood out from the neutered PC crowd and displayed some personality!  When you win you have earned the right to stand up and scream "HELL YEAH!", you don't have to fall to your knees and bawl like a little girl.

I want Sean to know that it's OK to talk smack.  It's OK to get in your opponents face and tell him about the whoopin' you just handed him.  It's OK to have testicles.  It's OK because it's not BORING.  It creates friction, drama, and excitement. It shows emotion and passion for the game. Best of all, it drives the PC crowd nuts!

Good for you Sean!  Keep knocking them down and telling your opponents how it is!

Nice to see him cuss the lane guy out when he comes off of a bad set too. Witnessed that one personally. Class act he is....NOT!!!!!

Look at Parker and WRW and learn a little bit of class.

Need excitement, but not like that.  Hell TJ pumps the crowd up but doesn't act like a idiot.

Cmon. Kinda crap is this. Look at how many professional athletes act like azzes on TV or have criminal histories and are still getting huge sponsorships. As long as the audience likes the athlete, it doesn't matter. I agree with 9~ on this, its good to see something different than a bunch of bowlers with tampons up their butt. The reason I quit watching pro bowling is because it was always too "professional".


I think Sean Rash went overboard. He looked stupid. I'm not a fan of Sean Rash but this is the only time I had a problem with him doing something like this.

Don't change the subject. This isn't about the other athletes that act like an azz. This is about Rash. What he did was the equivalent to a CB tackling a WR short of the first down and jumping up and acting crazy while his team is 20 points down.

Just got home and watch this event and saw nothing wrong with Rash.  He didn't brush the guy off he was just excited that he now was that much closer to winning 50 grand.  It look like fun to me.  Just my 2cents

Really? That's a horrible analogy. Now I didn't watch the Clash, but to my understanding Rash won and was celebrating his win (or his strike that moved him on).

If anything, it's more like a CB landing a huge hit on a WR at the end of the game when their team was 20 points up.

This reminds me of everyone making a big fuss of Joba Chamberlain striking out David Delucci and "over-celebrating". Big freaking deal. They accomplished something and celebrated it the way they know how.

It takes  all kinds. Rash was within his rights. So what if he got crunk? So what if he was playing a yungsta. If the kid can't stand the heat he should not be in the kitchen.

And for all of you wussess that do'nt understand why there is a problem with Barnes, a woman, beating the dog pp out Rash, your man card is hereby REVOKED!

Anyone who's missing their front tooth should try and keep their mouth shut as much as possible, especially on national tv.

To me there is a big difference between being exciting and WAAAAAY overdoing it to the point of it becoming awkward and tacky.  Especially when you throw a couple strikes to advance in a gimmicky kind of one ball roll-off thingy.

I thought it was a great show however and I don't see what the big deal is about Rash losing to Barnes.  I guess revoke my man card.

Anyone can be beaten on any given day, man or woman.  To think that Rash is now less "manly" now that he lost to Barnes is just ignorant and stupid.  I would like to say that I competed against and almost beat one of the top bowlers in the US, if not the world in Lynda Barnes.  She earned the win, and deserves the accolades, end of story.

I thought it was cool because they mentioned the "advantage" of the revs but then her ball looked like it was hitting plenty hard enough.

It doesn't matter how many revs a ball can have through-out the lane what matters most is what kind of kick/finish it has on the backend, and Lynda's ball certainly has plenty as evidenced by last week's show and the Queens tournament a couple of weeks ago.

Your "man card" is intact.  Those that have a problem with seeing things as they are and have a problem admitting to the truth are the ones that never had a man card to begin with.

If striking someone out in a game in May and getting a strike in a gimmicked setting is an accomplishment we've lowered the bar.

What a whiny little azz.  I really hope the laneman gave it right back to him.  He's a professional and has no one to blame but himself if he didn't score well.

Personally I don't like Rash's attitude.  I have absolutely no problem getting pumpled up when you win a match or a title.  Do it in a respectful way.  There are lots of other guys out there that get pumped when they win and don't make themselves look completely classless the way Rash does.  Even Pete Weber, who we all know can  get pretty jacked up, is also one of the classiest competitors whether he wins or loses.  Anyone ever listen to the things he says to a guy he just finished bowling against?  In that respect, he is a true professional in every sense of the word.

If Rash would just watch some of the guys around him like Norm Duke, Parker Bohn, Wes Malott, Mika and many others....they show emotion and get pumped up when they win but they still manage to be completely professional and respectful about it.

His nickname definately fits.
