Wow Another Boring Sunday Telecast Lined Up
« on: November 07, 2008, 12:53:42 PM »
I just ordered Xtra Frames today so I can watch bowlers I want who don't happen to show up on Sunday telecasts.  I could care less about scores.  I can find any local doofus put up high scores in any local tournament.  I want freak-like skill.

So Xtra Frames is good and all until it blacks out on you.  I much prefer watching them bowl in the rounds before the Sunday show.  They bowl like I bowl - roll, strike, switch lanes, roll again.

With TJ losing the 7th game, we got:

-Mike Scroggins-who reminds me of every left hand bowler I have ever seen in my life
-Bill O'Neill-who I never heard of
-Anthony LaCaze-who I never heard of
-WRW-zzz...zzz....zzz....

Well I guess my only complaint is Scroggins.  I have always complained about having new guys on the show and there are 2 this week.  But I really want to see Robert Smith or Tommy Jones make it to the show.

Geez, if you really want to see Robert Smith and Tommy Jones, go to your local house on league night and watch everybody crank the hell out of the ball.

How you could say seeing these guys going up against WRW will not lead to an interesting story?

I can see where WRW gets boring to watch.  Red ball up 5 isn't exciting.  It's nice to see people play lines different from their "norm".  Heck even Duke swings a little when he has too.


I thought it was last year or maybe the year before that where WRW was on TV hooking it while the rest of the field was lefties playing straight.

Wasn't that the Dick Weber open?  Maybe I am getting it confused.

Also red ball up 5 is interesting to watch because he seems to somehow beat everyone else.  It's also interesting for a similar player to watch and see what kind of adjustments he makes.  I know that style isn't trendy but it works...

Let's see a chance to see bowling on tv who cares who is on the show. Sit back and enjoy.

I'm tired of seeing this 'interesting story' and as much as I like WRW, IMO I don't think he could of won this many titles without the Exempt Tour.  Not taking anything away, but to me it is like Michael Jordan and the Bulls only having to play the playoffs from the Eastern Conference Finals to the Championship while everyone else has to go through all the other rounds.

Anyways... 15 minutes until showtime!!!

Leeeeeeeeeetttt'''''sssss GET READY to RUMmmmmmmmmmmmmBBLLLEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have never seen anyone put the revs that Robert Smith does.  So that is not possible hehe.

necromancer, mike scroggins reminds you of every other lefthander you've seen ? evidently you've never seen jason couch bowl, have you ?

you've never heard of bill o'neill ? a great collegian and he's bowled for a pba title. a great younger player.

i can see where you may not have heard of anthony lacaze.

walter ray puts you to sleep ? when you watch him you are watching history----the best to ever play the game. you wouldn't say that about tiger woods would you ?

I've seen Jason Couch bowl in person.  I was talking about how Scroggins has no power and is all finesse.  Tiger Woods is the best!

Except, oh wait, didn't WRW win a crapload of events before the exempt tour began?  You're so full of crap it's a miracle you can walk straight.

Maybe you should actually watch WRW for a change.  You might actually learn something about how to be a good bowler since he's one of the best ever.

Necro-romancer,

It's becoming glaringly and sadly apparent that you're clueless about bowling and bowlers, and seemingly everything else you post about.

If trying to get attention is your goal when you post, at least you're able to accomplish that, albeit not graciously or favorably.

By the way, the PBA has gone to an all-exempt field for about 5 seasons, and Walter Ray Williams Jr. had already amassed the majority of his titles, had earned several Player of The Year awards and had been regarded the greatest player on the planet for many years already.

Suggestion for you: think, research and ascertain before you post something.

You can do it.

I just post my opinion.  No I don't follow every single bowler that bowls in every tournament.  I don't take bowling as serious as some of you guys.  As for attention, I don't care what anyone thinks.  If I wanted attention I would have a lot more posts in the 7+ years I've been here.  I got like less than 1000 posts total.  For you math guys out there, that is less than 0.5 posts/day.  So yeah, I just need the attention... yeah right LOL.

I know more about bowling than most here, maybe not so much about bowlers, since I'd rather focus on bowling more hehe.  But since I don't bowl seriously anymore, I just have fun with bowling in leagues.

You really believe that if Walter had to bowl PTQs he wouldn't have as many titles? Really? He's already beating the exempt field, beating the lower level ptq qualifiers would be a lot easier.

WRW plays the outside because he probably feels like thats the best spot to score for him right?  We all know this!  The name of the game is knocking the pins down it doesn't matter how as long as they go down.  

Don't get me wrong its cool to see guys cover all the boards and the ball goes screaming back to the pocket!!

Just remember strike for show , spare for the doe!!!
