What is everyone’s favorite pba tv commentating duo? Mine is the espn duo of denny schreiner, and mike durbin from the 80’s and 90’s. No brainer for me. They told it like it was, didn’t play favorites, had great knowledge of the game, and also had a great sense of humor without over doing it. Just started giving this some thought with the new fox deal coming, and was wondering who will be doing the commentating for the fox shows.

In recent shows I've enjoyed listening to Marshall a lot. Just say no to Randy and Stone

I’m with you sv. Marshall use to commentate for cbs when they covered pba bowling late 90’s. and did a good job. Fox and pba need a fresh voice, clean start, so randy’s got to go. Randy has his head so far up belmo’s ass, enough already.

my favorites are any combo that doesn't include Randy Pederson or Rob Stone.  Can't stand watching a PBA event if either of those Tools are on the broadcast team.

Almost anyone not named Randy Pederson or Rob Stone(I say "almost" because, hard as it is to believe, there may, I say may, be some combination WORSE than those two).

Anyone other than Pederson, he is so bad and yet he keeps getting the jobs.  I think this really shows that either hardly anyone is watching, so networks don't care, or the networks don't have a clue about bowling and what makes a good bowling commentator.  For the PWBA, Kelly Kulick is pretty awful also.

Hambone Stone was a legend.

Recently watched the WPBA Queens match and the girls (led by Carolyn Dorin Ballard and Kelly Kulick)did a great job,
Explaining eklane transition, equipment, adjstments needed. Far more informative and entertaining for a bowling fan.

Looking forward to new FOX team, would welcome Holman back but I can’t wait for Peterson to be gone.   Tackett did a nice job on this week’s televised CBS show.

Durbin and Anthony were great as well. I just like Mike Durbin. Guy does both positions very well.
