It's so nice to see an athlete that's not afraid to talk smack and let everyone know just how good he is! It's been too long since someone has stood out from the neutered PC crowd and displayed some personality! When you win you have earned the right to stand up and scream "HELL YEAH!", you don't have to fall to your knees and bawl like a little girl.

I want Sean to know that it's OK to talk smack. It's OK to get in your opponents face and tell him about the whoopin' you just handed him. It's OK to have testicles. It's OK because it's not BORING. It creates friction, drama, and excitement. It shows emotion and passion for the game. Best of all, it drives the PC crowd nuts!

Good for you Sean! Keep knocking them down and telling your opponents how it is!

Jess,

Your words are especially poignant when you consider that many of the guys on Tour aren't exactly intimidating phsyical specimens. I mean, yeah, you have Big Wes and a couple of other bigger guys, but there really isn't anyone out there who strikes fear into the hearts of the tiny, but that's beside the point.

I just don't like it when people equate trash talking or moronic behavior with whether or not a person cares about what they are doing. I once had a person in another thread tell me that I must never have competed in my life because I thought it was wrong for a pro bowler to act in the manner we're discussing. Again, unfortunately, some people just think that the two go hand in hand. I disagree.

And let me say I don't think it's bad to show emotion. Tiger Woods shows a lot of emotion but I never feel like it's artificial in any way or that he's trying to show someone up -- or even showing them up by accident.

There's always a right and a wrong way to do something. Where some people in sports have gone wrong is that at one time, people cared about how they were perceived and would work on the nuances of their personality to ensure that even if they were being intense and emotional, they weren't coming across the wrong way. Now, you don't see that as much.

It's the inexperience of youth, in most cases. Some just haven't learned how to achieve balance yet. But others don't care to, and *those* are the ones that truly have an inner problem. Time will tell whether Rash is in Group A or Group B.

Yep, went through Mallott, didn't she? Whoever it was fouled two or three times in the game, really weird stuff.

I think Tommy Jones beat her in the finals.

YOU WANT SOME OF THIS!!!

That was some of the most fabricated emotion I have ever witnessed. It might as well have been a robot yelling cliches. Not exciting,not manly, not even real. If that is exciting to you then you need to get out more.

While I like Rash, I do think he's got a little growing up to do still.

It seems he likes to play head games. Even in the match against Lynda, at one point when he threw a strike that wasn't exactly solid, he said to Lynda as she was up on the approach, one for you and one for me, referring to a fortunate strike Lynda had also thrown in the match before him, obviously trying to rattle her a little. Didn't quite work, as she proceeded to throw more strikes.

As for losing to Lynda, it wasn't exactly as if he was lost, he made a pretty good first shot in the tenth frame, only not to carry the 10 pin had he carried it, who knows what woulda happened. In a one game match, when 2 really good bowlers face each other, anything can happen. No shame in such a loss. Kudos to Lynda for punching out.

Sean's young, and hopefully he'll adjust his attitude a little so that more people will enjoy watching his eye-pleasing game.

there is quite a thin line between getting amped up and acting like trash. tiger stays just shy of the line. rash just so happens to be a habitual line stepper. i mean, it's great to see someone have that burning desire to win. but class, class, class. i think sean will mature in the next few years, then he'll really be a force.

also, trying to rattle your opponent isn't really a bad thing, is it? he said it way before Lynda took her shot. now if he had said what he did during her approach/release, then we'd have some trouble.

Trying to rattle an opponent can have an adverse effect. That is, your opponent may get amped up, and you might end up getting flustered. Letting one's bowling do the talking is the way to go.

The thing I remember about PDW was he didn't errupted UNTIL he had a commanding lead. He didn't go crazy until he was +30 or +40 up in the match or if he had won it. If his opponent was keeping up with the strikes he would stay low.

If they are going to talk smack then start it up before the match! Telling your opposition you are going to crush them and then do it!! That's having balls NOT....I just won or I am going to win...NOW I can act like an AZZ!!!

The point many people, like 9, are forgetting. They're confusing emotion and passion with acting like a complete and utter azz.

Cmon. Kinda crap is this. Look at how many professional atheletes act like azzes on TV or have criminal histories and are still getting huge sponsorships. As long as the audience likes the athelete, it doesn't matter. I agree with 9~ on this, its good to see something different than a bunch of bowlers with tampons up their butt. The reason I quit watching pro bowling is because it was always too "professional".

I am HOPING that 9~ was showing his sarcastic side. At least that's how I read his post. I am also hoping that when Rash watched hisself later, he saw just how much of a dope he was acting like. That is what is wrong with the younger generation, they have no respect for anything.

All they know is ME ME ME ME ME. Some people need to learn some respect.

Lets not also forget that he was lucky to even be there considering he went through the nose and got 9 and also threw a brooklyn strike. Kind of reminds you of the Masters doesn't it?

So now he earns the nickname "diaper". I think he's trying to earn endorsements for Pampers or Huggies. Maybe it'll work. But I still think he's a d!@k.
