Randy Peterson as commentator.........
« on: February 08, 2004, 08:01:21 AM »
Randy Peterson should know that what Osku Palermaa from Finland was using for the his spare shots was a Power Diesel and not a plastic ball. He used it once for a strike and never used it again. This was a very lucky dude.

What the rest of the group thinks of him as a commentator.

I personally think they need to turn Randy loose. Give him more time commenting on the players and the players games and not just on the action. He is a great on air personality. He has that rare quality of being overly enthusiastic without sounding stupid. I like Brian Voss as a bowler but he doesn't have the personality of Randy. He needs to be the lead guy not the color guy more.

I like Randy!  Great bowler too!

This guy Dave Ryan seems to really enjoy it and is trying to learn all the time!

Sounds according to Randy like he was quite an athlete himself.

I think the show is really good!

Also I liked one of the guys that tried out with Randy two years ago and
Ron???  Thinning hair.  He was really good but he didn't make the cut!

REgards,

PS I could easily deal with a lot more Leslie Gudal also.  Like maybe between every shot!  I know, I know, she's married and having a baby!

Leftside,

One thing I learned is not to use his style in our oil patterns conditions. We learn from other peoples mistakes. All I said that he had a better chance of winning with his straight ball, laser beam throw, which was more accurate and stronger. In bowling I have learned that you need to work from different angles or moves so you can deal with the different conditions. I never try to slam anybodys style only their mental approach to not having a plan to win. They interview him and ask him how are you going to stay focus. He answer, "I don,t know."

By the way this has not been the first time I see this style. I have seen in my area about 2 guys that bowl the same way in tournaments.

Borincano,

Stop slamming bowlers who have styles different than yours. Hopefully someday you will learn.


All,

I think that Randy is great and has to be a very patient man to put up with Dave Ryan. The man really needs to learn more about bowling. Anyone catch the 13th arrow comment?

Anyway Randy is just what the show needs, spunk, knowledge, and enjoyable to listen to.

That is a wonderful idea, but it would never sell!

I bet they could get 5 minutes in the middle of the telecast though.

REgards,

PS Now if Lesley Gudal presented that, maybe 1/2 hour is a little short!
