Title: TJ is a showman!
Post by: Hogsharley on March 23, 2008, 02:23:36 PM
I really haven't seen anyone come close to what Tommy Jones does on TV. 12 titles in 20 TV shows and that comes after he didn't do anything his 1st 4 shows. So if my math is correct, he has won 12 of the last 16 times he has been on TV. That's awesome numbers.

On the other hand, you got Chris Barnes. Yeah he makes alot of shows but has only 10 titles in 59 TV shows. OK, lets be fair. Since he didn't win on his first 2 shows, he is now 10 of his last 57. He also has won about 400 G's more than TJ too.

Who would you rather be TJ or Barnes?

My money is on TJ.

Chris Barnes by a mile. TJ is very very good, but IMO, Chris Barnes is the best bowler on the planet.

TJ in real life is super laid back and funny, great attitude and smart young man. TJ's talent will get him in the 20-30's in titles, his power game will catch up with him in about 7-8 years.

Barnes will be pushing 50 before he will retire if the tour lasts that long for either of them. I call barnes at 21 titles total but i am sure i will not be on here in 12 years, then again i have been around since 1999 lurking so maybe i will in some form.

TJ wasnt the fastest to a million but he was close...from pba.com:

Another Millionaire
Tommy Jones joins the ranks of PBA millionaires this week as he comes into the GEICO Classic just $912 shy of the $1 million mark. Jones will just have to get through most of the Round of 64 to pass the milestone.

Jones will become the PBA’s 39th millionaire and the fourth to pass the milestone this season, joining Patrick Allen, Mika Koivuniemi and Mike Scroggins. Most impressive is the fact that the 29-year-old Jones will tie Mike Aulby as the second-youngest player to reach the milestone, trailing only Pete Weber, who was just 26 when he became a millionaire. It took Jones just eight seasons, however, to reach the mark while it took Weber and Aulby 10 and 11 seasons, respectively, to go over $1 million.

The milestone will come in Jones’ 226th career event, just six events shy of Chris Barnes’ record of 220 events.

This just says that he isn't the youngest but i'm sure he was the fastest to a million
