Tribute to Dick Weber on show, opinions?
« on: February 20, 2005, 06:09:52 AM »
So, what did everyone here think of the tribute they gave the late Dick Weber on the show?

I liked how they interviewed Carmen Salvino and Johnny Petraglia. You could tell how hard they have been taking his death though. It really showed how appreciated Weber was.

I also enjoyed the video package they showed as well. He was simply amazing back in the 1960s. A real class act though. I thought it was a fitting tribute to a goliath of a man. He will be missed by many, but he certainly gave his all to the world. Rest in peace Dick.

If the PBA and ESPN really had class, they'd produce a special about Weber, Welu, Anthony, Johnson, and some of the other greats that are no longer with us.

The DW patches worn by the guys on the telecast were a nice touch.  Props to the person who came up with that idea.

Now the commissioner's exemption that was given to Dick Weber recently was even more special.. who knew that would be one of his last appearances on the bowling scene.......yeah, the patches worn on the sleeves were a nice touch.....

I thought the interview could have been even better if the interviewer was at least a little prepared.  That was the worst job of interviewing I have ever seen.  Carmen and Johnny rose above this amateur attempt and made the interview worth taping and watching again.

This was an interview that wrote itself and she blew it.  Let the pros talk.  Make your question short and let them run with it.

I got kinda choked up myself,you could tell how much they(Carmen and Johnny)loved Dick Weber.I never met him and I STILL understand what a GREAT ambassador he was to the game.I thought the interview was a nice touch,although you can't measure his magnitude in such a short interview....
