Mike Edwards "backing into" an exemption
« on: April 04, 2009, 02:39:38 PM »
So what does everyone think of how he got his exemption?  Do you think he deserves it or is it BS?

Im being serious in saying you need some help....

Im pretty sure if you read my posts...and then read your responses you will see that you are the one that is crying and "spewing BS".

Seriously....you think Jason didn't earn his exemption when he had enough points to be in by pure PINS KNOCKED DOWN.  I think saying Edwards "EARNED" it more takes a really demented person.....(you).

You (once again) took my displeasure with a situation and started throwing insults at me and my "butt buddy" friend.  Not sure what I said in this thread that deserved your insults...but in your twisted little world you are the "protector" of all that is holy on these forums.

You're a sad, pathetic person that I hope is going to get help one day for your obvious serious emotional issues.

Good day....


ROFLMAOPIMP

You calling someone pathetic, saying someone needs help is the ultimate Pot and Kettle moment....if there was an award for that, you just won it. Based on the rules as written Sterner DIDN'T earn his spot, he fell one spot short. Now because of this at least deserving person will not get an exemption from the tour trials. But since you don't know them, that is ok. As long as your friends and you get what you want, the world is a happy place. Just like in your political posts, you're right, everyone else is wrong.

And I never said the Mike Edwards "earned" his exemption, all I said was, and was 100% accurate in doing so, was that the only reason you were complaining was because your "friend" is the one at the time lost out. If Sterner was in and Joe Ciccone was the guy that lost a spot, would you have been on here crying about it, I think not. Now grow up a little and stop acting like a whiny little brat.

And as far as being a "protector" the only things I protect are my wife and son, I have no personal stake in anyone on this board. But since you seem to have some personal vendetta against me, I do take some pleasure in pointing out how wrong you always are, even if it is too easy most of the time. And as I have told you on multiple occasions, there is nothing sad about my life, I have a beautiful wife who I love and who loves me, a great little 2 1/2 yr old boy who is smarter then you apparently, a good job at least for now, and I get to participate in the greatest sport in the world, bowling. It seems since you are the one who has to come on here and ridicule, degrade, and put down everyone who disagrees with you, that it is you who has issues in your life. Now I assume you will do your usually stunt and turn this around on me, just like you tried above....see even your usual tactics are becoming too easy to spot. Maybe it's really time for you to look in the mirror and grow up dude.

You're really sad...

Please show me where in this thread I ridiculed anyone or degraded anyone?

You came on here and insulted me...and my friend...just like you insulted my bowling ability...my job....after I just said you were being a moron and that you were wrong.

You need to go back and look at this thread..and show me anything that I said that remotely deserves your response.

Actually on edit Jorge Im done responding to you.  You're obviously a petty person with a grudge to hold against me.  Im not feeding your little obsession anymore..you can find someone else to egg into e-fights.

Good day

Just curious at to why if your a bowler on the "exemption bubble" why you would not be "in the building" on every stop down the stretch(especially the last one) just to make sure of where you stand because as the old  saying goes "if it can go wrong, it probably will".

Don't hold me to it but back when I bowled Regionals.
After qualifying they went down the line to each alternate and asked them if they wanted to be the stat's guy.
They were compensated for doing the work.
If you declined it moved on to the next guy.
Now if you were doing the stats and someone failed to show up or "WD" you could then bowl.

So i'm assuming this was the case with Mike Edwards.
He was there because his partner works for the PBA and while he's there he might as well earn some extra $$$.

You can respond or not, no skin off my nose, but thanks for being consistent at least. You get proven wrong, yet I'm the one with the "problem", your usual MO. And as I asked you before, how is stating the truth insulting you? I know your fragile psyche can't seem to accept that your are wrong 99% of the time, but how is that insulting you? And nice to see you don't consider calling someone a moron to be ridiculing or name-calling, must be nice to live in your little world. Maybe if you tried reality for once, you might actually earn some respect on here. Now off with you, be gone until you are ready to grow up and stop being a whiny little brat.

This thread is backwards its Sterner who backed into the exemption. Edwards bowled followed the rules and ended up in the cut number.  Sterner bowled ended up outside the cut number its unfortunate what happened but thats why we have preset rules. Yes its harsh but thats why there is a cut number why do we have it and a set of rules if there not going to be observed and followed. Now next year there is one less spot for every tournament with a PTQ and everyone in it whos trying to earn an exemption thank you Commissioner Schreyer and Jason Sterner. I wonder if that bowler who ends up the alternate in the PTQ can file a petition an say they should get in because there spot was given to Sterner.  

All this talk about he earned this he didn't earn that and deserves it is garbage everyone out there competing an following the rules earns it. All these bowlers are working there hardest. They spend there money there hearts and lives dedicated to bowling. Whether that time is a summer bowling 100games a week or if its a whole life time they all earn it. I see lots of rainy clouds an hills ahead for the PBA.

The last tournament of the year HAD NOT FINISHED YET!  The point list was not final, therefore Eddie got more points by where he finished in the tournament.  Plain and simple.  Giving Sterner any kind of exemption that has to be taken from somewhere else is wrong/not fair...

First off, let me say that I think the PBA did the right thing by giving Sterner and Edwards the exemption.

But I can't believe people are saying Edwards earned it.  I'm fine with him getting it, but he didn't earn it.  He would have earned it by qualifying high enough to make the top 24.  If not for 3 injuries, he would not be exempt.  He was lucky that he was in the building and that PDW withdrew.  And thats a fact.  Nothing earned, just a nice break for him.  

Now put yourself in Sterners position.  Wouldn't you feel robbed of your spot in the exempt field for 09-10?

Quite honestly they were fortunate to get the exemption.

I agree 100%. Atleast the PBA is doing the right thing and giving them both exemptions and also revising the rule to hopefully keep it from happening again.
