Please tell me im not the only one who thinks
Dave Ryan has to go. The guy knows absolutely
nothing about the SPORT of bowling. He is more
concerned about advertising for ESPN then the
matchs. What ever happened to the pros pointers?
Why dont they show what balls the pros are using?
They really have to do something for us non pros
to learn from these guys. Dave Ryan is not the
answer.

If winners never quit and quitters
never win, then who came up with the saying,
quit while your ahead?

Yeh Yeh Yeh i know he reads off a telepromter.
But come on, every other shot they are talking
about stuff other then the match at hand. Im
glad im not Randy and have to work next to Dave
and work for ESPN when all they worry about is
advertising. I think Del Ballard would fit in
great. Randy does a superb job and hes a pro.
He knows bowling and the patterns and the
different styles of play. Del knows the game
as well.

I'm sure PBA signed a agreement with ESPN where ESPN appointed Dave Ryan the spot.

He doesn't bother me like he does the rest of you. Just as long as they have one guy up there that knows what hes talking about, i'm fine.

I agree Ryan should go. He makes some of the dumbest
statements. Usually one or more a show. Today he
was talking about how Barnes is in running for player
of the year. How dumb is that? To my way of thinking
Barnes isn't even in consideration. Yes, he has made
7 TV shows but what has he done after he got on. There
are at least 5 people more deserving than Barnes. I
don't know who ESPN could get to take his place but
surely there is a sportscaster out there that knows
understands bowling. Or at least one that can shut-up
once in a while and not make really stupid statements
every show.

And how great was the immortal Chris Schenkel when he first started doing bowling on ABC?  Give the man a little time.  I've been bowling since I was 5 (that'd be 20 years for you non math majors out there) and I don't know everthing there is to know.  Dave Ryan isn't the bowling expert, that's Randy's job, and a good job at that.  He's there to provide some balance so there is something else going on besides the ultra technical stuff.  They are trying to expand the fan base to the average, once a week bowler that buys 1 ball a year.  So cut Dave some slack.
