That should be very interesting. I thought he was banned from competing in PBA Events.

He wasn't banned, think of it as more of a "suspension".

If I recall from over the summer didn't both him and his brother give up their PBA cards?

Its a longer story than just dropping cards. Fines, expletives, threats, etc. All in all, I think everything is civil now.

Funny - I remember how violent he was - I was talking with someone about it yesterday!
He asked me who I DIDN'T want to bowl with in the Calcutta - Chris Collin's name was FIRST!!!
The man is a menace.

It sounds like the kind of character the PBA doesn't need anywhere near the tour...

Interesting you mentioned that as two years ago the team he was on won the Calcutta pro am. And he was great to bowl with. I have seen both sides of him in person, and to be honest the times I have talked to him he has been great. But I know there is the other side too. I wish there was a way he could control that since it seems when he is bowling for himself is when he can't control it.

It's 'all good' when you're winning. It's a different story when you're losing.

When it's not about just him bowling for him, he is fine, win or lose.

That would be cool, Jeff. It certainly can get rowdy Saturday night but it's a lot of fun. Wish I was bowling in it too

Yea, I talked with his brother Chip yesterday and he said that he was going to bowl the PTQ in Medford, instead of bowling my tournament less than 1 hour away and only pay $ 120.00 at a chance to win $ 5,000.00 and get into 150 boards plus a squad. I remember last year his brother Chip probably walked out with over $ 1500.00 just in brackets that Saturday. Not sure why he decided to go to Medford but from what I am reading I am glad so he want spoil my tournament.
Hey Jeff wish your finger was good so you could come out to my tournament, I would be sure to draw a crowd with you there. I heard Brian Voss was coming and I know Rudy Kasimakis will be back defending his title from last year.
