By your reply, I guess he won with his superior skills.    But, he still looked like a THB in his finals.    All of his "gifts" in his finals helped a bit also.    Anyhow, he did good for a THB.    But, he shouldn't give up his day job though.

All you holier than thou people really amaze me.  Since when is it against the frickin law to criticize the performance of a professional athlete?  No, I'm  not good enough to get where he got and I'm not afraid to admit it.  Doesn't mean I can't talk about his armswing or follow through or whatever.  None of you have ever talked about how Jay Cutler sucked or Carmelo Anthony sucked or Derek Jeter sucked I suppose either?  Give me a break.

Those that can do. Those that can't complain. Pimpin ain't easy, but it's mandatory.

Most things we like, we don't need. Most things we need, we don't like. Don't confuse your likes with your needs.

Thanks Russell.  I suppose I should have asked in a less ranting way.  Why do you feel professional bowlers should be off limits when it comes to criticism?  I know you feel strongly about it, because you immediately jump on anyone who does it.  We do it in every other sport, why not bowling?

 Just watched the show. Wiess's armswing was not consistent. Looked like be was worried about his ball hooking on the backend and not trusting it to come back. As a result at times he seemed to be trying to make the ball hook by coming over and around it. You could predict when he was going to hit the pocket. When his follow through was up the back he hit the pocket. When his follow through was to his left shoulder something bad followed. This was a mechanics problem that I have not seen from other bowlers that have made the shows.

Wiess is an excellent spare shooter. No doubt he bowled his arse off to get to the show. For sure the ugly girl has a right to go to the prom too.

Anybody who goes 5 frames in a championship match without hitting the pocket, chosing the wrong ball to play,  walks crooked, follow through all over the place.    What do we call him??

5 frames sure is a large sample size. Im sure youve never thrown it bad for 5 frames, ever. Am I right?
