Not to mention, do you actually WANT the boring, lifeless, whispered commentary that you get from the Masters golf match used in bowling? I, for one, do not. Bowling should be energetic and fun! Rob Stone gets pumped when people start stringing strikes -- don't you? I know I get excited when somebody strings the first six or seven!

Exactly. The golf announcers are the worst of all sports and some people on here are actually preferring that to the PBA? LOL. You'd get laughed at by every sports fan of any sport - even golfers probably. I know if I was a golfer, I'd be embarrassed by the telecast of golfing events. They are all whispering like stuck up dorks.

"yes he is going for a birdie... and yes he makes it" - announcer 1

"nice put" - announcer 2

"nice put" - announcer 1

"yes nice put" - announcer 2

LOL! GOLF on TV = NAPTIME. (yeah I play golf too in case any golfers here get their panties in a bunch of get offended LOL)

It seems as if Rob and Randy would like to have sex with Wes.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Stone while I was in Medford a week and a half ago. One of the players I was talking with told me that the players really like him a lot better than Dave Ryan.
and I Quote "Don't get in Dave Ryan's way out of the parking lot after the telecast!".
Where Ryan didn't spend any time around the bowlers, Stone was in town Saturday night, having a beer with the players, and chatting with the fans. He is very much a people person.

Yeah that's why I like him. He is a people's person like me. Two pro-bowlers on the telecast equals torture i.e.: Barnes and Randy or Duke and Randy. LOL!

It was obvious Dave Ryan hated his job. Denny Shriner was good with Mike Durbin because he was actually a player at one point. He competed in Regionals.

Ron Stone just is not liked period. If you went to the soccer message boards, they hate him with a passion. Rob Stone would be better served being a gym teacher at a middle school, that is the extent of his sports knowledge.

The day I respect what soccer players say is when they change the game and allow for you to use your hands. I lost all respect for them when they claim that they have the hardest sport endurance wise and no timeouts like 'fruity' football as they say. They just walk like 80% of the game and run in spirts. But to them that is 90 minutes straight of running.

GOOD NEWS!!! ESPN IS HOLDING AUDITIONS TO REPLACE ROB STONE!!!!! AND 5 BALLREVIEWS MEMBERS WILL BE DECIDING THE WINNER!

HERE'S MY AUDITION:

*monotone voice*

Well, Randy. Wes Mallot threw the ball to a break point about 40 feet down the lane at the 10 board, then the ball's core sat up and the coverstock gave it nice continuation through the pin deck. My this is entertaining. Hey, look, he threw another strike in a "strikingly" similar fashion (please don't disqualify me for trying to make this exciting with a mediocre pun). I wonder if his opponent will be able to duplicate Wes's success.

Well would you look at that? There are still various pins standing on the deck. This is probably not good. I believe the pins are the 4-6-7-10. Some people call this the "Big Four", but I'm a traditionalist, and I don't like to use such unbelievably silly slang terms.

What do you guys think!!!!? EXCITING!?!?!

I just watched an older episode of and Earl Anthony show I think it was like 2004 or 05 anyway, Dave Ryan is much worse than Rob Stone. Rob shows excitement and enthusiasm. I don't care for some of his catch phrases but I do appreciate his attitude towards the game.

Danes07 · « **Reply #39 on:** February 03, 2009, 12:54:20 PM »

I, for one, appreciate Rob's enthusiasm. You could tell that when he first started he was out of his element and had a lot to learn. Well, he has learned and is continuing to learn. You can tell that he wants to get better at what he's doing and do the best job he can with what he's given.

He breathes some life into the show....his excitment and his goofy terms and the joking around he does with Randy can only mean good things. Its what our sport needs to get more people watching. If you go back to the old days with announcers that made watching paint dry seem more exciting, bowling would be off the air faster than people on here complain....its that simple.

Personally, I despised Dave Ryan. He never seemed to care anything about what he was doing, he didn't know anything about bowling and didn't try to learn anything more. He sounded like an idiot and I have heard around that not many of the bowlers cared much for him.

Whether you want to believe it or not, someone like Rob Stone is exactly what bowling needs if we want it to be shown on TV for much longer. We need and exciting, excitable, enthusiastic guy who wants to have fun and make the telecast fun for those of us that watch.

If you don't like him, mute the TV...or don't watch and see how fast bowling is no longer broadcast.

i appreciate robs enthusiasm generally dont have a problem with 99% of what he does.
What i DO have a problem with is his horrible gimmicky sayings hambone,back to back jacks, etc. if he would at least cut back on them, or at least try and come up with not such annoying ones. Other than that i have no problems with him.

Rob Stone is awesome. Hambone is awesome. Yahtzee is awesome. Back to Back Jacks is awesome. The only thing not awesome is all the whining from the purists who want bowling to immitate a funeral service. Hate to say it, but the kids love the hambone. Another awesome. Keep it up ROB!!!

If you want to listen to bowlers talk about bowlers bowling, sign up for Xtra Frame. You get in depth insights into their day to day activity, discussions of ball layouts and lane breakdown and all kinds of technical bowling jargon. Very un-entertaining.

i personally would like to see randy and marshall(holman) in the booth. i enjoyed the medford event when marshall joined the two guys in the booth. reminded me of the days when durbin and holman used to call the bowling tourneys back in the late 90s

Bring back Dave Ryan. I used to enjoy his commentating along side Randy Pedersen.
