Title: Parker Time?
Post by: Fluff E Bunnie on November 03, 2006, 10:36:36 PM

I have had to suffer through two TV events with no Parker.  This shouldn't happen.    Could it actually be Parker Time once more?

Parker is one of the all time best, but, it seems that watching Parker on TV is few and far between.
And for a good reason too, there a lot of great bowlers on the tour, and they have stepped up their games too compete week after week, sometimes I think ( and this is just my opinion) Parkers intensity isn't as on fire as it used to be.
Patker is a real nice guy, but, he needs to be more " not so nice" on his matches.

To me, watching Parker Bohn on TV is like watching paint dry, boring.. LOL.. Parker's good days on tour are over.. Too many young guns out there right now..

I hope Wes or Tony Reyes wins this Sunday..

One day when I grow up I hope to be able to throw the ball AND carry as good as g_thing!!

I couldn't agree anymore... IMHO, Parker is way over-rated. As soon as they changed the patterns with the new PBA, he has done nothing...

Parker has had to change his game somewhat and has not adapted very well or as fast as some and he would like. I think Randy Pedersen spoke on this very issue last year or year before but he sure hasn't looked good on tv the last few times and they have been far between

i would never count parker bohn III out when there is a title on the line. he's a great player and the second best lefty in history.

When Bob Learn, Jr. shot his big set on TV a few years back, PB3 was dialed in on a pattern not unlike what they've bowled on this week.  Didn't PB3 put up some sick numbers at a tour stop in a new facility in Texas last year?  Averaged nearly 250 for the week?  Doesn't sound like a guy that's struggling to adapt on this particular lane condition.  He may not have the multiple titles, lately, of a Tommy Jones or Patrick Allen, but he's still oozing with game.
