Some people can mix the two together others can't, Brad does it poorly. Super nice guy, great bowler definitely not acting material. I personally believe the same of Voss about 75% of the time. Its fun to watch passion for the game but the acting goes a little over the edge at times.
Sorry can't resist - The next time I hear "Thats what I'm talking about" I will throw up.

Post by: Garcia on December 13, 2004, 07:19:56 AM: I agree about Voss, hes probably the King of doing that! especially when he throws both his arms in the air like a douche. what a toe. hes too old for that.

Great comment and I totally agree.. Dave Traber on TV is an embarassment to the PBA and hope I don't have to watch that ever again..

Post by: Shoutout33 on December 13, 2004, 09:07:21 AM: Some of you guys are something else. You're mad at a guy, in the heat of battle, picking up a difficult split and he celebrates doint it. What gives? Now, if you don't like Angelo, for the sake of not liking him, ok fine. But to get mad a someone because he's pumped up from bowling?!?

Let me guess, if you made that split in leauge, you would've just said, "That was a good shot..." and calmly sat down huh? Oh yeah, I don't like Dave Traber myself, but last year, when he threw three strikes in the tenth frame to go into a roll off with Norm Duke, and he was pointing his finger at Norm like, "Yeah, what now Norm, RIGHT THERE!" I absolutely loved it!

Every sport has athletes that either get overly excited at one point and time when they compete, so why not bowling? Also, we need that in our sport, some passion, some added excitement...something, to promote our sport. Some don't think you can't get hyped about bowling. I hate that with a passion! Our sport is just as passionate and exciting as any other and it's about time we showed that. Listen people, we have better t.v. ratings than NHL hockey...HELLO!

When you've moved up, moved back, adjusted left and right, cupped, flattened out, have thrown everyting in your arsenal, and the pins still don't cooperate, just say, "Aw to HELL with it!", and throw the ball!

I did not call him an idiot because of the finger thing, I just don't like the guy. I have not personally met him, just like a alot of people on here have not met Chris Barnes, but he gets slammed on this forum all the time..

I guess calling him an idiot was a bit harsh and will edit that post, but I still don't like his attitude and will leave it at that..

Post by: The great one on December 13, 2004, 11:58:01 AM: finger up to the sky huh? I missed the show, and will catch a replay, is it kinda what pedro does after he's done pitching? Or what bonds does when he hits a home run? Never seen anyone bash these guys for it, but as i said, i haven't seen it so i might be wrong.

Ah man, finally someone understands that this is what we need for our game. I do not really like Traber, but the crap talking that he does is great, and makes the show better and more exciting. Sorry to all the old people, or the ones who want to never see bowling change and keep it where everyone is a great sportsman, and they sit down silently after a huge shot, but that is boring, and bowling is and definitely needs to evolve from that.

Well I have met Barnes, and I cannot stand the guy, a total as*. I love to see him lose now cause of that.

Angelo just points a finger to the sky like a pump fist. He doesn't look up as if he's giving thanks.

Post by: CharlieBrown on December 15, 2004, 07:55:36 AM: Hey Leftyhi-trak

Thats what I'm talking about

But seriously, just let them be, as long as they can back it up, they can say whatever they want. Do I like their antics? Maybe not all the time, but it does give me cheap laugh sometimes.

It makes the show fun when players like Couch scearming and barking, while the 'silent' guy just shuts up and shoots a 6 baggers.

Thats what I'm talking about, whooooo hoooooooooooo

It is what it is.

True the ratings for the PBA are higher than the NHL this year....because there IS NO NHL this year (unless something changed it the last 2 days and they finally agreed on something).

They were higher than hockey even when hockey was playing, I believe thats what he was talking about. Bowling had about a 4, hockey was at less than 2.
