It really is time to stop criticizing small mistakes, and get out there and pass on our knowledge to bowlers. Since we're "so smart" to sit behind a keyboard and point out mistakes, why can't we use our knowledge to continue to explain the difference, without judging...

what I said was not meant in spite or as an attack against you. There are others, and I know you notice it, that do nothing but criticize anything and everything said on television..they portray these thoughts across the boards and argue with the same people who agree with them, just maybe not in the exact terms spoken.
I don't know or care about Randy's issues with Brunswick, I care about the advancement of the game and educating those who don't possess the knowledge we do.
Perhaps I should have first said, GREG HOPPE, I agree with what you are saying, then went on my rant, then we wouldn't have anything to be up in arms about. But the point behind my post is, there are many message boards for us to post on about what happens on tv, but is it really going to do anything if there are 3-4 topics about Randy making a mistake (or purposely) by giving the wrong information.
I wasn't trying to be hostile towards you, your original statement was the first thing I've read about the issue that wasn't attacking Randy on it. Maybe I responded in the wrong thread about my issue with people on the witch hunt week in and week out for mistakes, but I feel that instead of complaining about what he said, we can properly fix the mistakes..

If I read you correctly, it is alright for someone to say something, in reference to a topic or subject, incorrectly, as long as there are those that will make a point of correcting them to the masses, as long as it is remotely correct. We should applaud them for their efforts, no matter how wrong they may be.
This is the problem with our game, misinformation for the purpose of educating. There are too many that use numerous avenues such as TV, to convey a message and do not always take the time to check the information they may use. Their egos are such, that the masses will listen & believe and then contradict those that may actually know the correct info.
This is why their are those, such as Greg that make a point to correct these instances.
It is also somewhat comical that you are on Storm staff, as is Randy and you are coming to his defense.

he was just using small words for the less thans i.e. average house bowlers so they could understand, as their comprehension levels are so much lower than the touring pro's

Ric,
I am not saying it's okay to misinform, I am saying the opposite. I just feel that we can do more than complain about what one guy says and fix those problem properly. I don't agree with everyone pointing out everything that is wrong multiple times in 2-3 different threads, it's a little overkill. Greg made the right point, he did it in a classy way, unlike others here and in other places.
Like I said, I may have responded in the wrong thread with my frustration, and for that, I guess I apologize. However, I am not defending Randy, I am not the biggest Pederson fan by any f-in means. You're wrong there sir, so please don't accuse me of that, thanks. My loyalties are to a company, not a man's opinion.

it was in jest...I was implying the whole average bowlers v. pro's and thought about 'pro's work the inside of the ball...league hacks work the outside. THB comprehensive ability versus a PBA tour player comprehensive ability...
Maybe I should've just put lol after the first statement
