Everyone needs to get a grip on reality. The PBA needs a little celebrity hype to get other fan bases to start watching. Most importantly this was for charity to help the less fortunate.....if some of you folks on here had an ounce of good heart you would understand that there are good people out there that just want to help the less fortunate and those that need help because of medical reasons and such. I actually run a charity bowling tournament every year to help my wife''s charity that was created for her because of her medical issues. She was in need of a heart transplant for three years and finallly received it this past september. Some of you maroons on here couldnt even imagine the medical bills that pile up for such an illness. Now, do any of you maroons want to take a shot at me now too for wanting to help a good cause?

You could see it when they had the right camera angle. The ball would hit friction, start to turn, then flatten out badly and die.

I saw that too but I wasn't going to get into this detail because I saw what the problem was. Jason did move him right some and he started getting to the pocket area better in the final match. I think I saw chris pauls last 3-4 shot's roll over 2nd arrow. Either way that clearly showed people that the shot isn't that easy.

Why is there something wrong with that?
It seems because most of the "bowlers" on this site hate anything that is not bowling and feel bowling should not be associated with any other spots in any shape or form. Some people need to get over themselves and just enjoy the good press and publicity it brings to bowling instead of constantly harping on every tiny negative thing they can come up with.

those balls were rolling out as soon as they hit friction.. that is why Chris Paul's ball wasn't hooking like he said.. the ball went end over end as soon as hit the dry..
The invasion at what looked like a dull surface is probably way too much for that pattern... The ball companies just wanted to showcase their new equipment even if some guys were throwing it dead straight and not even trying to hook it..

You don''t think that if a basketball player like shaq, jordan, bryant, or lebron promoted bowling as much as Chris Paul .. and was actually really good at it that it wouldn''t bring tons of basketball fans to bowling???..
USBC and PBA is looking for their Tiger Woods (please no jokes
) to bring everyone and their mother to the sport..and that is really what bowling needs to gain popularity.. Tiger brings alot of viewers but he also brought a ton of people to playing the game of golf as well.. --------------------

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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???

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.

Don't thank me just crawl back into your hole and leave the rest of the civilized world alone.
And what have I done perchance? Called you out on your ignorance? That isn't hard, it permiates every post you make.
And you only think I am a jerk, because I caught you in a lie in the past and I won't allow you to spew your ignorance uncontested. There are many many people who 1) agree with me when it comes to you and 2) don't think I am a jerk at all. The ones who tend to think that are the one that I call out when they are doing the same things they rant against or fail to see they are politcally biased. So since I won't let them get away with it, just like I don't let you get away with it, to them I am a jerk. So to you, I guess I will always be a jerk. You started this with me, now you have to deal with the consequences. Or are you gonna threaten to sue me again? LOL
