Tony's a great guy and a good friend. He does a lot with Jr. programs and pro ams. He gives seminars constantly. He's one of the most helpful people on the pro tour.
He was fortunate that he gained his exemption (fairly) in a bowling experience allouted by the PBA. His father passed away, unexpectedly due to some accident. And with the exemption under his belt he allowed himself the time with his family we all hope we have when times come upon us.
I'm sorry if your favorite hasn't made it....yet. But bashing someone else that has, doesn't show a good side of you. If your player hasn't made it, then he needs to step up and do better. There's still time. Tony made his exemption the prior year on sheer points, not titles. So if he can do it, then I guess your favorite can too......right? I mean if Paul Flemmkng was twice the bowler (like you said) then he'd be in already due to sheer points. If not then hopefully he'll still make it and be around next year.
