strange fascinations
« on: February 05, 2010, 07:50:35 AM »
What is with USBC and now PBA with thier strange fascinations with the NBA and other sports like NFL. What''s with the drooling over Chris Paul? Is it too hard just to have a normal PBA tournament. Must I see a pro basketball player in every USBC magazine? Is there some sort of suck up job bowling feels it has to meet to have the respect of the USBC and PBA? Anyone else find this bizzare? Let''s cancel the Medford stop and keep a charity event. NO matter what the reason the charity and could be a good cause they could have had this in the summer while there isn''t a tour going on.

Greg,

Quite honestly I must respectfully disagree with your statement that this is detracting from exempt bowlers chance at a title.  The fact that bowling is having trouble attracting money paying sponsors is the reason why exempt bowlers are struggling to make a go of it.  Bowling must find a way to appeal to the masses not just those of us who are avid bowlers.  

I enjoyed the interaction during the show between the celebrities and the PBA pros, but my expectations were not that the celebs were going to be on par with the pros.

I bet you must REALLY hate the H-O-R-S-E contest and Dunk Contest the NBA will do during its All-Star weekend in a couple days...

Only a moron would criticize the PBA for giving back to charity.  He is not in the magazines because he is a NBA player.  He is in there because he is a USBC Spokesperson.  As far as the PBA is concerned, maybe they could try and extend the season a few more weeks and give the players more tournaments to bowl in.  But what alot of people fail to remember, is that the PBA bowlers go bowl in other stuff in the "off season" like the Weber Cup and other tournaments overseas to supplement their PBA Earnings.  If the PBA wanted to get creative, they could be more like the PGA TOUR and have the season more like 9 months as opposed to 6 entend the season to 25-30 stops a year as opposed to barely 20.  If they did 30 stops, that still gives the bowlers 22 weeks a year they are not out on Tour to do as they please.

Bowling is for bowlers not clowns who want to make a circus of our sport. We have enough trouble being accepted as a serious sport without these idiots.

Dudes - unless bowling is an enjoyable activity - why on Earth would you want to do it?

Enjoy, live long and prosper - take pleasure where you find it

Do you really want to be the bowlers nobody wants on their team because they have attitude issues? We all know bowlers that are good just not as good as they think they are, and with the fits they throw on the lanes just too high maintenance to be around.

Actually, I called you a MAROON, not a moron.....you have done a good enough job of showing that and calling yourself that, you don't need any help from me. This was held while the tour was off for the Holiday break...none of your precious stops were hurt by this. Since when is giving to charities a bad thing? Give it up dude, you are just making yourself look selfish and stupid everytime you post this BS. And as far as taking you on Mr. Internet Tough Guy.....from what I have heard the only thing that comes from Kansas City are steers and ....well you know the rest....and I doubt you have horns. My god, are you really as dumb as you come off in this post?!?

Here's my rebuttal on this subject:
Bah..I haven't watched all the event on my DVR. To be honest? I don't care who won. I'm going to delete it. I vomited after Mallott threw it in the gutter which sure looked like it was on purpose and was sick of watching f'n backup balls by a bowler that probably bowled 2 times in his entire life. Jesus...man...at least the celebrity golf tournament has some standards and some of them can actually play the game. Please inform me when the PBA decides to have a real tournament without gimmicks. I just hope to God the USBC Masters hasn't also been destroyed. Perhaps in the Masters we could make it a doubles matches with PBA players and top amateurs that had to go through a grooling tournament to get on tv and could pair them up with actors and actresses from the movie guild.

Well Jorge300 has done it again.

Gregg Hoppe a respected member of ballreviews for a long timehas been called names (of course the man used one letter different to hide behind ...(a cowardly action I believe) and insulted out here)

Gregg you continue to be well respected out here and admired by many as a class act and a very good bowler.

Jorge you continue to be identified out here as one of the biggest jerks on this site and maybe a good bowler.  But, with a personality like yours...how many even notice?

Regards,

Luckylefty

Figures you''d agree with him. And I used maroon because I meant maroon. And actually it''s two letters different, so I guess that makes you a moron. Now are you happy??? You sir are one of the biggest losers, idiots, and morons on this board and many people have seen through your facade. Don''t you have to cheat more old ladies out of their social security checks, oops I mean give them finacial advice? Time to up the meds again, Lefty.

I heard that Chris Paul had surgery before the All-Star game. Funny how he was bowling a week before...I'm just saying...how ironic.

Few days late but +1,000,000. If Greg's boy-toy WRW was on the show all would be well.

In a word, SUCCESS. The NBA and the NFL are thriving, the PBA is a marginal league at best for the general public.
