What is with the Halo pose? Trying to recharge his sheilds or what?

what a whiner..embarrassing to say the least.
while there is no denying the mans talent, come on..really, now we have towel-gate

It's all about money... I really get the impression that the PBA does some of this stuff just to get people talking about bowling. The drama always seems to involve Belmo and someone else...

In "wrestling" you have the heel and the face... how was the show today any different?

The PBA better not try to make anything out of this "towelgate", that would be even more embarrassing...

Belmonte committed the "sin" of putting his tiny shammy towel on the ball rack (Even Pederson, Weber's good buddy, said it was a tiny towel). Pete kept telling the officials to tell Belmonte not to do that. PBA custom is for them not to put rosin bags or towels on ball racks, but it is not a rule. Belmonte was not putting his towel on Pete's bowling balls.

Pete was sticking on the right lane on strikes and slipping on spares; they should have cleaned the approach as others (like DeVaney) had a similar problem. PbA officials seemed to make no effort to clean the approach while I could see; maybe they cleaned it during the commercial break. The sticky approach caused Weber to leave a 2-10.

Are you sure Belmo didn't put his towel directly on top of one of PDWs Optimus'? They showed a shot of a towel (or shammy) on top of an Optimus and PDW said afterwards that he does not use a towel so it could not have been his. Unless Belmo had an Optimus on the rack.

Weber's behavior today was an embarrassment. Belmo was not breaking any rules. Randy stated that the players are asked to keep their rosin and towels off the ball rack, but there is no specific rule against it. Weber told the tournament director he didn't want Belmo's towel touching his ball, and didn't want whatever may be on Belmo's towel on his ball.

Out of habit, Belmo put his towel on the rack. Weber would pick the towel up and toss it on the floor like a spoiled child. Weber, in the 10th frame of the match, stood there and pointed to Belmo's towel and Belmo reacted like a scolded child to remove it. That was ridiculous for Weber to make Belmo feel like he was doing something wrong.

First Weber was bothered by the approaches (which the announcers said were cleaned during commercial), then bothered by the towel. Weber was definitely playing mind games with himself today and it did not make him come off very well at all for viewers at home.

Ima PDW fan but he should of not let that towel get to him. He just needed to show up like the u.s open wen he was distracted but still pull the clutch move on mike fagan. Although belmo is a lil rude for not listening to the great pdw he still bowled great. I had a feeling if either or made it aj Johnson gonna hand them the title.

Belmo doesn't have to listen to PDW. Belmo only has to answer to the tournament director. If anything, Weber owes Belmo an apology for insinuating the towel had anything at all to do with his poor performance.

PDW needs to curb his sense of entitlement and realize he should expect the same treatment as bowlers bowling their first tournament or their 1,000th tournament.

PDW seems to get distracted too easily and complains about the most petty stuff in some of these tournaments. I didn't see anything that Belmo was doing wrong as long as he wasn't placing the towel on top of Pete's ball. But PDW should have handled himself better than that. Like Randy Peterson said, it's just a consistent rountine that some of those bowlers do when placing their towel at a certain spot, drinking their water bottle or just even a pre-routine action right before they throw the ball.

i feel it was more of what belmo said in the locker area about bowling webber and beating him. Belmo talked the talk and backed it up

I didn't see that picture; must have blinked. Pederson said Bemonte was putting it on the rack. I accepted that statement.

As someone else said, I think Weber was looking to "get under Belmonte's skin" for throwing those 2 Brooklyns.
