Who watched the WSOB Cheetah on ESPN?
« on: December 15, 2014, 07:38:25 AM »
Seems like the PBA can't win for losing. If you go over to their Facebook page, there were people trashing the PBA because they opted for a one-hour format that has an eliminator match among three bowlers and then the championship match. (One post that had me laughing was comparison of the PBA being the only entity that cuts for commercials during the actual competition. Uh, let's see . . . golf does it. NASCAR does it . . . But they didn't acknowledge the championship match went uninterrupted.)

Personally, I thought the production of it had a very clean appearance to it. Probably its best ever in that respect. The other thing that also caught my attention was that it still evoked memories of the World Series of Poker. I think the PBA's biggest challenge is creating a relevant identity in an ever changing and competitive fight for viewership.

Those are 3 wonderful bowlers to watch!  Another favorite is the smooth lefty Female Shannon P!

Fortunate enough to find out as I occasionally watched the Silky smooth DD bowl in practice that we were neighbors.

That lead to this lucky hack got to practice semi regularly with him and spend some time with this pleasant man and champion,.  To me like hitting balls with a pleasant Sam Snead.

I consider myself blessed.  When around him I always felt I moved better on the lanes....much like they said about Snead in golf it would rub off!

Unfortunately for me.....it was not permanent!
But when I rubbed off for a few weeks and almost a year....very profitable!

I wouldn't compare Anthony Pepe to Dave Davis at all. A left-hander who comes to mind is Mike McGrath, a PBA Hall of Famer whose name gets lost in several conversations.


I was thinking more of the broken wrist that Steve Williams (I'm pretty sure it was Williams) had in the 90s, combined with the form of Brad Snell.

That stance at the end definitely reminds me of Snell.
