Yes, Schlegel's reaction was pure garbage.

 

I'm all for emotion in sports but I'm also for showing some class.  I guess I was taught that there's a right way and a wrong way to act when winning. Also, in addition to that, I like honesty in my athletes - I don't want them to be robots. And I will admit, Shafer's reaction was honest in relation to how he was feeling.  Doesn't mean that I thought it was classy though...and I'm glad that he admitted it might have been a little over the top.

 

Just as an add-on, many people keep complaining about the PBA going down the toilet because of a lack of emotion/personality in the players.  When the PBA was at it's height, Earl Anthony was king and that man never reacted like Shafer did when he won...It's not the players bringing the PBA down.

how are you supposed to act when you win your first major.
Geez, give the guy a break.
the right lane was tough and he bowled well enough to win...
I - for one, like to see the tougher lane conditions, it does not make for good TV, but most of the people watching are bowlers anyways.
 So we aren't losing any more of the few people left watching.

What are you talking about? He didn't win crap yet, he just made the show. He didn't "win a major".

  That's a big part of the show, they never hardly mention what's at stake, and they CERTAINLY don't mention money. It just looks like 2 dudes bowling. Sucks.
