Favs (retired): Mike Aulby, Steve Cook, Mark Baker (All 3 of these bowlers are amazingly gracious to the fans to the point of having even more respect for them afterwards!)
Least (retired): Earl Anthony (yeah, I'll never forget how he treated me like crap @ the 1984 Kessler Open...wouldn't sign my bowling pin and told my dad and I to "get lost." He shoudn't of been so bombed!) & Ernie Schlegel (Great intimidator on the lanes, but was a real jerk to my dad & I @ the same 1984 event: Dad told Ernie "you a***ole!" haha!)
Favs: Nathan Bohr (yet to make his mark...he's going to be the next Sean Rash but w/o the arrogance), Mika Koivuniemi (much respect), Eugene McCune (anyone who consistantly throws in WRW's face "This is my week" and beats him gets my vote!), Tony Reyes (a real class act), and Pete Weber (even in his wild years he was never rude to me...even remembered me @ an event a few years later [didn't believe him 'til he actually named the event and year] which floored me!)
Least: Randy Pederson (I liked him for a long time, but in person: What an a***ole! I'm glad you got housed 2 years/row @ the ToC and lost your card you ungrateful S.O.B.!), WRW (oh, I'm not the only one who knows how much of a f****ng p***ck you are to the fans! "Stupid Camera Man?" You idiot, we all heard you say that on TV when PA beat you in Reno...that'll win more "loyal" fans!), and Patrick Allen (anyone who publicly blasts Mike Aulby [2003 Cambridge Classic during the round of 16 vs. Mika. He said "Good thing Aulby's calling it quits: He's way past his peak. Yeah, with scores of 276, 259, and 246?] will have my "one-finger" salute every time I see him the classless MFer!)
