Thanks ESPN
« on: September 07, 2008, 05:04:54 AM »
I tuned in to watch the women bowl and instead there's some neck-car race.  Thanks, ESPN.  Oooo, a left turn!  Oooo, another left turn!  Don't know if I can stand the excitement.

The USBC website says the US Open will follow the current "show", whatever that is.

ESPN screws bowling yet again!
Where's Chris Schenkel and Beau Burton when you really need them.

Man....watching bowling on the first weekend of the NFL??

Go GIANTS!

How dare ESPN push a sport back with a few thousand viewers for one that will draw in millions.

What are they thinking /sarcasm

and I agree with luny....man card forfeit.

If you were participating, I'd understand. You're watching it. Any thrill you get is just vicarious - might as well be watching NASCAR and wait for the deaths to happen.

Watching the PWBA women bowl is appreciating an athlete executing prime athletic skills.

Pardon, you're making a minor mistake: 87 cars driving around in a circle for hours on a Sunday is not, AND NEVER WILL BE, a "sport". It's called mall shopping.

Due to weather issues the race was pushed back to Sunday. Live events will always trump tape delayed events. NASCAR brings in a heck of alot more money then women's bowling also.

I really don't give a rats behind about the NFL.  What, I can watch the Dolphins?  Puh-leeeese!  I don't need to conform to Neanderthal views of so called "manhood" to be confident in my masculinity. I guess you guys do.  Awww, too bad for you.  They never show my team down here, so I don't care. I guess nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public, so ESPN panders to lowlife inbreds that 20 of them would make a whole set of teeth.  Enjoy your race.  I'm off to the bookstore to do something intelligent with my time. Go brush your tooth.

True charlest....however let's see the Traber brothers handle the heat of a car for four hours.  That argument goes both ways

Hmmm, I think we're talking about 2 different things. I'm finishing off a ball rack while I'm watching the Jets beat the Dolphins yet again. boring. Why is Don Shula making diet commercials?

No one ever said or ever will say the Trabers were human, no less athletes! Heat endurance still doesn't make driving around in circles a sport.

Enough! It's a moot pointwhat's a sport and what's not. I don't really care enough to make a point by point comparison.

ESPN was supposed to show Bowling and it didn't. Even my online TV guide still shows bowling shows from 2 PM to 4:00 or so, Eastern time.

I know ESPN is soo messed up, I can't count the times that I was looking forward to watching a bowling show, then find that it was some stupid bull riding show or some dum nascar show that you go around in circles for 4 hours....Right now, I just looked at the tv guide and it shows a dum bull riding show, woopdy do.... Someone needs to do something, thats for sure.

If your going to bowl...bowl for fun or go home
