Nothing Wrong with the Flop at all in my opinion. Machuga has waited a long time to Finally a PBA Tournament. He's entitled to Celebrate any way he wants to. Oneill is Awesome. What a game that kid has!!!

Seeing the flop on tape is one thing but seeing it live is something else. It caught all of us by surprize when it happen. I was sitting in B3 bowlers right behind the stats table. Good matches. Negitive part about it Traber wah wah and not being shown on TV- They got B2 and left side. and double rats

That was the funniest thing I've ever witnessed in bowling. I had never heard of "the flop", so I was completely stunned. My wife nearly peed her pants (from laughing) when I called her into the room for the replay!

as much as i'm glad to see mike machuga win and he did bowl well enough to earn the title his "flop" wasn't very "professional" looking.

Speaking of Big Wes' show of proffessionalism, did anybody notice that when Billy was warming up for the championship match there were 2 people in the pits takling with him. One was Chuck Gardner ( the columbia/track ball rep ) and the other was Wes ( the very person Bill had just defeated ). That shows an awful lot of class to lose to a guy in one match and then do whatever you can to help him win. Big props to Wes !!!

Bill & Mike are both class acts. He bowled with both of them & had a great time. My son & I spent a good part of the week watching the pros. Most of the pros are good people & then there are a hand full that are not. We sat behind Bill for the TV finals. He was very very nervous. He had a right to be.
Mike & Wes were both very loose & worked the crowd. To those of you who didn't like Mike's show I might suggest that next time he makes the finals turn your TV to another channel. I wouldn't want any one to get hurt.  Ya had to be there it was a great show.

There's a guy in Spokane that used to do the "flop" across about 6 approaches in IEBA tournaments (he would make sure he was the last person bowling).  If Bob Hanson reads this he can probably remember the name, but I think it was a guy named Jimmy Allen.  First time I saw it I completely cracked up.

I dont see how you guys can say that Mike lacked class after he did the flop.  What Patrick Allen did last year when he beat Mika lacked class.  Some of what Pete Weber does on tv, lacks class.  Somehow I have a feeling that Bill ONeill was not offended by the flop.  I believe it was a one-time thing and like someone else pointed out, Mike had been saying that he was going to do it if he ever won, so it wasn't like it came unexpected.  I thought it was pretty cool to see him do it.

Nothing wrong with the Flop at all. Do you think Oneill was offended by it? I doubt it. Also there was nothing wrong with what PA did last year against Mika. People celebrate winning in strange ways.
