The Beginning of the End of an Era
« on: March 17, 2021, 09:11:39 PM »

We knew it was coming, and now it's coming.

Both PDW and WRW have retired from the PBA, and have thrown their last shots on the main PBA tour.

The good thing is that while there isn't much more either of them really needed to do on the main tour that they haven't already done, they will still continue to bowl on the PBA50 tour. They will still be around, and still bowling.

Pete's last shot is here. I'll post WRW's last shot if I can find it.

And your point was? ??? ??

They may need to go to a delay seeing this is the second time this season that word was used during a telecast.

Backwards Hammer, No point, I was just surprised when I heard it. I was on the computer and just listening to the broadcast so I was not sure that I had heard that until I replayed it.



I thought that they would have had a 5 second delay to filter out that kind of stuff.

It may have been drowned out by the crowd, but I know they let the curse slip by with his 5th US Open win.. Some clips have it taken out, but live it was still in.
