Although I was pulling for Randy to win...I think he is trying to pawn the blame on the kid in the crowd. He made a good shot and it just didnt go. He needs to accept that and quit pushing the blame. It isnt like he pulled the shot or anything.
I dunno... I REALLY doubt Randy would just call someone ELSE (wasn't the kid) out after throwing a decent shot. He must have had a reason.
Post by: Jeffrevs on April 10, 2005, 01:09:41 PM
i was at the WC last Sunday and you can hear a pin drop in there and I'm not sure the mics will pick up EVERYTHING on TV....
I don't think Randy is the type to blame someone in the crowd.....it's not like he threw one in the gutter or something...it was a nice shot..
tough tough break!!! bottom line....they did'nt fall....it was just a tad light

He threw a good match, Duke made a nice spare pickup, and got some nice carries.
As for the guy saying something in the backswing, was it Bradley Bowl last year where PA absolutely went OFF on someone for coughing.

MANY people have had a situation where something distracts them and they should stop, but can't. Everyone has done it in some kind of activity in their life. Don't see where that comment came from.
You guys, Randy DID acknowledge that he pushed it and made a bad shot. He's not completely blaming the person, he's just still angry.

I thought Randy showed no class today in his match. I'm not saying he didn't have distractions (slight or large though they may be), but you can either handle those distractions with class or without class, and Randy handled them without class.
P.S. I know that Jabroni will probably go off on this comment, but for goodness sakes can we get someone besides Brian Voss in the booth for those times when Randy makes the show? Holy cow he's bad. It's like having two Dave Ryans in the booth!
Ryan: "Strike!"
Voss, simultaneously: "Strike!"
Ryan: "He needs this strike...AND HE GOT IT!"
Voss, simultaneously: "HE GOT IT!"
The woman who does the interviews now seems pretty sharp and also seems to know bowling. Put her in the booth instead of Voss! Heck, you can even put her in place of Randy.

As for after the match-- I understand he threw a bad shot, and I'm not really in a position to say whether or not the "cough" or "shout" or whatever affected him, but I'll tell you something-- If I'm in Randy's situation, where I'm SO close to something that's SO important to him, and someone disrupts his motion even in the slightest bit, I'd be pretty aggravated too. When someone sneezed during a golf tournament once, Tiger Woods had them removed from the gallery, and the announcers were going "Well, Tiger's a guy that needs perfect concentration to focus, he did what he had to do." No double-standards please. It's too bad if someone coughed by accident, it's too bad if they did it on purpose. But I can't sit here and call Randy Peterson classless because he got caught up in one of the most emotional tournaments in his life. I'm not going to ask every single bowler to walk back from the approach with a straight look on his face after every smash, tap, carry, or coversion, especially in big-time situations. It's sports, they're human. It's above all entertainment.
As for another person in the booth. I hate Ryan, he doesn't have a clue what he's talking about. The girl who does the interviews will never be in the booth, she's just doing PBA telecasts to move up the ranks to NFL or MLB someday. We need someone else who knows bowling on the telecast. Maybe open auditions from BR?

COUGH???
I was left with the impression that Randy was mincing words...what he described as a cough was probably more in the lines of an intentional attempt to distract and Randy wasn't going to go on the air and say "some guy in the upper deck insisted on being a jack-a-ss and I was unable to Barney balk."
Post by: Traumabill on April 10, 2005, 05:41:46 PM
foul judge. I heard a cough, he(the foul judge) didn't...The kid in the yellow shirt was in
the front row down towards the pin deck. After the event talking with security,
they ID'd the guy in the stands who made the 'intentional' sound. (he is supposed to have confessed to Arena Security and was removed from the event). FWIW
