The show was a joke. Belmo put on a good face. How can you bowl in the rain on an uneven lane?

It's about fun...which is what they were having. It's great exposure for the PBA....which is what it desperately needs.
I can tell you for sure that talking about layouts on the show and being serious on morning shows is not going to attract new bowlers to the sport.

Are you seriously complaining? I saw them once with John Elway on and he was throwing footballs at gimmicky stuff?

Yeah, they where having fun but it didn't showcase his talent. If they filmed that segment inside a real bowling alley, the viewers would be able to really see what Belmonte can do with a bowling ball. If I was a non-bowler watching that I would think "no big deal" and change the channel.

It's just like the argument that people say they need to talk about surface prep and drillings on the telecast. The average viewer could give a crap. If someone saw Belmonte strike in a bowling alley but they don't understand the game it will mean nothing. It's just like them showcasing someone who does the luge...if they showed them going 60mph on a track I would think "hey that's great"...but I wouldn't be any more likely to watch than if they were just talking about it and having fun.
The more personable and friendly they make the pros the better. With how much of a joke the game has become from an integrity standpoint we arent' going to win back viewers with striking....people can walk into a bowling alley 7 nights a week and watch someone revving it up and shooting 270....
