I try to watch the PBA whenever I'm not working, but apparently I missed some vital happenings. Why do some people dislike Dave Traber and Mike Scroggins? I've never heard anything pro or con on either guy until reading this board. Just curious as to what has happened...

Just like the words of Mike Scroogins using the term "leauge bowler". You know, i think that came back to bite him in the rear because the last 2 times hes been on TV hes looked ALOT like a "leauge bowler". Scroogings just might get more respect if he gave leauge bowlers more respect. You cant tell any one of us that hes never bowled leauge in his life. To make that comment, makes no sense. I for 1 will never forgive him on that comment. Kinda regret having his Autograpgh.

They are no different than any other cross section of people you don't really know. Tempers as well as personality run a random gambit.I have gone and met many many pro's over the years and for the most part all were nice the problem is that sometimes people approach them at inopportune times or when they have had a bad time of it. Admit it, many of us tend to be the same way and we are bowling for peanuts not livelihood. Funny some of the most liked pro's from the other thread I have witnessed have the biggest temper tantrums. Fun to watch but i can't hold it against them. Only one time I can remember that I would have and should have clocked someone. It was Marshall Holman at either the Tums classic or the Rochester Open. He was watching the "A" squad as he was bowling "B" Some 8-10 year old came up with a pin and a pen and asked for an autograph. Marshall ripped this kid up instead of just saying he was working or something. This kid looked like a kicked puppy dog. If i could have made my way across the full bleachers fast enough it would have been worth the night in jail. We did razz him as he missed the cut though and although childish it felt deserving for his poor behavior. As far as style making you dislike them thats tends to be a bit shallow. Many different styles and to me whatever wins is the correct one. Funny though most of the ragging comes on guys who throw straight. (oh yeah, lefty too, suprise! suprise!)
