Rob Stone seemed a bit more...
« on: March 23, 2008, 06:51:57 AM »
...subdued on today's show.  He shyed away from using the term "hambone" on a couple of occasions, heck Randy had to coax him into saying it the first time lol.  He appears to be getting the message loud and clear.  I wonder if someone told him to let up on it or if he's been reading internet forums.

The "message" is that the phrase is drawing more people in than pushing people away. The vast majority of the audience likes it, it's become a staple on a lot of bowling leagues, etc.

I realize not everyone likes it but don't kid yourself; it's got buzz. I can understand that you personally might not like it but I can't understand why you feel that "he appears to be getting the message loud and clear." The anti-Hambone group isn't winning this debate.

What was the other phrase drop a nickel. I can't remember. I like the hambone or Drop and give me ten. It's all funny. Some show's in the past seem too quiet and boring. What's up Mike?

I have to agree with Jess. I don't care for it, as I also don't dislike it. It's a phrase and people have fun with it, enough said in my opinion.
Last Tuesday in our regular old mens league, I heard like 6 people quote the hambone, lol.

Mike,

"Old mens league"?  Not all of us are old, we're just older than you  

I agree, I really don't like it either, but I hear it in all my leagues, so at least it's getting people to watch the show, which is a good thing.

See ya tomorrow.

Just to be clear, I never actually said or even implied that I am anti-hambone.  By saying he was "getting the message loud and clear" I was referring to the negative comments on the internet (and what I've heard in person) by people who dislike the term.  I could go either way with the term, if it sticks great, if not, no big loss.  I should have worded my post to reflect that.

I do agree that if it's creating interest in the PBA, then more power to Rob and anyone else who's able to make it more exciting for the viewer.

I hear guys in my leauge saying hambone all he time. Personally, I could care less what they call four strikes in a row. I will say that I like Rob Stone better then I liked Dave Ryan. I think the best shows have been when they have had a third guy in the booth like Duke last year. Randy seems to be a little goofy too with some of his comments like that stupid gravy train thing he says and when they had Duke in there it was a better balance of that type stuff and actual information.

Hambone is certainly a million times better than the "gravy train with biscuit wheels" or "60 feet to success."  Ugh.
