Choke Artist Chris Choking Again LOL
« on: October 26, 2008, 05:13:56 AM »
Well last game he strikes solid to win the game by playing over the left gutter.  Now to play Norm Duke, he decides to move all the way to the right gutter.  He has 43 in the 3rd frame and missed the head pin in the 2nd frame LOL.

Even though I'm not a fan of Norm's game at all, still gotta respect someone that is as accurate and consist as he is.

No one was going to beat Norm playing that part of the lane.

Say what you want. If Chris continue to bowl like this he will be player of the year again. He will make more shows than anyone again this year. he will probably win 2+ titles. POY!

Chris Barnes is fascinating to watch on TV.  It makes the show interesting that's for sure.  I had to go for Norm on that one all the way.  I am kind of getting tired of Barnes' pouty or smug reactions to everything though.

Yeah, there was no reason to bowl on Norm's line unless he was trying to be an A-hole about it.  I loved how Norm bowled on Chris's line at the end far left and threw another strike.

IN YO FACE CHRIS!

That was a long time ago. Making that many shows for such a young guy was impressive. I think the best player ever (WRW) has more second than first, more TV shows than wins. You have to get there to have a chance at the titles record.
