2024 PBA Scorpion Championship 🦂 | PBA on FOX

[@shawnmorgan7436]

Kevin and Packy hyping up the crowd was amazing!! Most bowlers are so serious about it and get mad when they hear a pin drop. This was AWESOME!! Love those guys!!

[@itsgazzer186]

Most bowlers are fine with noise as long as it’s a consistent noise. It’s when there’s a random loud noise in your back swing it becomes a problem

[@NathanMoist]

When you say a pin drop, are you referring to Belmo at the Masters?

[@dylanfry7978]

@@itsgazzer186Yeah but that’s exactly the point I feel like they were trying to make. It shouldn’t matter wether it’s quiet then noisy, or noisy then quiet, and anything in between. No other Sport does it matter when, where, how, or why it’s noisy/quiet. And it’s honestly kind of annoying when people get mad saying he “creaked his water bottle in my Backswing” or somebody sneezed at the wrong time.😂 Idk to me, stuff like that is just like..really? Focus on what your doing, it shouldn’t matter what people are saying, or doing. You can scream DONT MESS UP, right as I’m about to release the Ball, and it’s not going to affect me one way or the other. The same way it doesn’t affect a Batter, or someone shooting a Basketball. 🤷‍♂️

[@xSpartanzz]

@@dylanfry7978 Tennis...and golf... just off the top of my head. You can get thrown out of an event as a spectator if you are disrupting the athletes during play.

[@dylanfry7978]

@@xSpartanzz Exactly..Both stupid & foolish sports that have that kind of “rule” or expectation.. Again, if a Batter can be just fine regardless of people yelling “SWING” or “DONT MISS” at the last second when the ball is pitched. Or someone yelling whatever they want while a basketball player is at the Free Throw line I mean we could literally keep going forever.. Point being of it doesn’t affect them it shouldn’t affect anyone else. If you let it affect you then that’s a “You” problem. Not the fans or spectators fault. Sports like Bowling & as you mentioned Tennis & Golf have to evolve past that ridiculous nonsense. Because it’s no different in most any other sport..in fact those sports are probably a lot harder in those situations.. And this is coming from someone who absolutely loves Bowling, and was a Baseball Player all my life up through College. You can yell, name call, chant, or even just generally talk amongst themselves without being like “oh man everybody has to be deadly silent else the Bowlers get mad” or whatever else in my Backswing, my approach, or anything. The same way it’s not going to affect me Batting, catching a pop fly, or a grounder, it won’t affect me in Bowling.

[@MsEeyore14]

Packys grin half smile every shot is great😂

[@Frostecy]

I find it annoying af 😂 i still love Packy

[@brucethomas1520]

Good

[@victorbogen1558]

580 revs is nothing go look at young pba hof Robert Smith back in the day! his revs were 600

[@InfinityReptar]

Especially after 59:07 🤣

[@morganclare4704]

So 580 is nothing but 600 is great!?! cheers

[@Deadflush]

Packy vs Keven most fun match I've seen in a long time!

[@TheHouseBowling]

This match was exactly as much fun as it looks!!

[@wattah9299]

i know youuu!!

[@rtgirard]

Kudos to Fox for both sharing this so soon and for leaving in Packy's little slip of the tongue after his match with Kevin. It shows what a real moment it was for them. Great job!

[@sirbenwatson]

That was f***n' fun.

[@billfleming8281]

Packy and Keven are what we need more of on tour . So much fun to watch as they both got the crowd involved . To top it off they are best of friends, doesn’t get any better than that . Thanks guys ! Well done

[@DS-qz2gu]

As a fan of The House Bowling especially, Packy vs Keven was so entertaining.

[@TheHouseBowling]

We appreciate you following along!

[@AldenVision]

Packy vs Kevin...they remind everyone to have fun, even at the highest level of professional bowling!

[@CrimsonFangTV]

Absolutely one of the most entertaining shows I’ve seen. So alive with packy and kev hyping up the crowd. So fun to watch

[@74edmartin]

Packy looks like a villain on his approach gotta start calling him the riddler

[@arfadieaach7805]

Idk, but looks more like Shaggy to me 🤣🤣🤣

[@thatboydingus3353]

THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING HE ALWAYS LOOKS SO EVIL

[@dragonchr1s]

Packy and Keven showing everyone how bowling SHOULD BE. Fun for the crowd, fun for the players. Yes the stakes are high, but Jesus it doesn’t need to be a funeral. Make it FUN!

[@Eunoterpsia]

The crowd getting into it was awesome, packy and kevin bringing the life back, if it was more common it'd be better, crowd wouldnt be hesitant and bowling would be more enjoyable to watch, my opinion of course. Thanks for the entertainment.

[@rodennis418]

Packy and KW....thank you for one of the most fun AND competitive matches in a while. THAT was top level on so many scales!

[@bluegrasslightning]

I have been bowling lefty 2 handed for just about 3 months now because a friend needed a sub for his league and I'm just absolutely addicted to watching the pros to get better. These highlights are so incredible!!! I was rooting for everyone the whole time, I'm just in awe. Belmo is my hero because he is such a great person but Packy is the man!! Kevin and Jesper are great but I hadn't heard of Russo until now. So interesting about his recent thumb change! I enjoyed reading the comments here because you can't keep everyone happy at the same time but there are so many different opinions out there and also so many bowling styles. Shoutout to my lefty 2 handers and Belmo!

[@varox11]

Packy vs Keven, the best match I've seen in a while. This is the kind of passion bowling needs.

[@Nailv]

Packy and Kevin are one of the most entertainers bowlers in the sport

[@MrPhante]

This was such a good watch 👏 bringing the hype in the sport Packy and Keven! Congratulations to Matt for sure though

[@MMAdamMartin]

The match between Packy and Keven was amazing. Two of the nicest guys on the tour and also great friends. Awesome stuff.

[@bradcarr8392]

Got to watch 2 of my favorites, having such a great time!

Here before the Bowling Planet comment

[@Caladuun]

I've been waiting for Packy and Kevin. Win, lose...didn't matter it was great to see and great for them playin to the crowd!! THEY are the future

[@ront335]

Thanks, Fox, for doing this.

[@antmof94]

Whenever Packy rolls his face looks like hes been hustling everyone and can actually roll a strike every time

[@james3282]

Fox is doing a great job with showing these, all the tech upgrades and information 👏. I think it's better if the audience is cheering so you don't have to worry about a phone or baby or someone sneezing.

[@malecscanlon2583]

Randy back at it again 9:37

[@MrBobby765]

when packy smiles before his shot you now its good

[@Iowanasian]

Let’s gooo!!!! I’m a pool player but love watching bowling

[@drwisdom1]

I have been watching Mr. Svensson bowl for quite a few years and never thought this until now, but his new hairdo and big beard makes him look like the statue of Vulcan in Birmingham Alabama.

[@yankiwi8829]

Love the crowd getting involved. This is the way forward for the sport. With the hype, a sneeze or a cell phone doesn't matter. You just have to look to the dart world, who has risen somewhere from obscurity & it is because of viewer involvement.

[@GoodAMP]

we need more player like packy and kevin! absolutely entertaining 😄😄

[@henryleichey6]

19:41 I’m dying that ringtone 😭

[@reinnegroni8462]

That's going out to the annoying John Fanta & I sure wanted that ringtone, if Kyle Troup was there, I'm dying laughing at this. 😂

[@AdubsMMA]

I love how Packy has almost a cocky grin during his approach.

[@JordanBondar]

16:15 thru 30 seconds. Stand up for what you believe in, thanks Belmo. That takes guts-- and you have changed the sport.

[@ainelawlor5755]

So thankful for these up loads ❤

[@fabptitpom]

Most wholesome telecast I've seen in my life!

[@braydenmbve545]

An all two handed telecast for the first time in who knows how long

[@masonbowlin6792]

Probably won’t be too much longer tbh as more and more hit the scene

[@coz6345]

first time ever actually🥴🤷‍♂️

[@roccoleone146]

Great job as always. I love watching your videos. I would love to bowl with both of you and get some lessons.

[@theripoffchicago]

42:52 Probably the oddest telecast in history regarding the announcers. Randy is dying in the booth with John. John is terrible with ZERO bowling knowledge. When Randy points out your comment is weird on live TV you should be removed from the booth. Solid ten / Flat ten no clue. Only bowlers and their families watch these telecasts. You have to do better.

[@reinnegroni8462]

If you go to 43:50 & when John says “Oh, no!” & he doesn’t cheer on the 10 pin, you know John’s I.Q. level is a perfect zero.

[@mhwt565]

He was just making a joke lol

[@TD-sw3kv]

@@mhwt565 He's dreadful.

[@MrZzstop]

Agreed. They need to bring back Dave Lamont. The difference between him and Fanta is like night and day.

[@XCRiders]

[@boie946]

ice mans rpm is insane

[@ajdagenius808]

That shot clock rule I think is dumb, I get to make sure to be within the guidelines of the shows hour and a half but cmon to give them a 0 is crazy

[@cocaineinmyvein]

I get your point, but at the same time, they get a warning for the first violation. It's a part of a lot of sports that you don't hold up play.

[@91rus]

Thank you!

[@tyrincoles4713]

Packy and Kevin are great for bowling.

[@chasbari]

I vote for Dave Lamont.. Please just let John Fanta go do other things I am sure he is more qualified to do.. bowling commentary just isn't one of them. sure felt awkward between he and Randy. Oh, and congrats to Russo. Lots of good energy in those matches from all the young guys.

[@frothyshoes]

Good for you man. Great bowling

[@Mortimuss]

Way to go Packy and Kevin!! Great job!

[@JibeAndJelly]

[@ryanp4133]

A little tension between the commentators at 33:00 with ringing 7 vs flat 7….

[@andrewphillips2179]

Fox Sports, Thank you for uploading the Stepladder Finals of the Scorpion Championship. Also, Was this the 1st Time in Pba History that the Stepladder Finals featured all Two Handers?

[@reinnegroni8462]

Stupid comment! Diabolical trolling!

[@erikroy1425]

its very interesting how the banning of pitch black and purple hammer changed the transition

[@cameronmorgan0203]

Nothing at all was wrong with Keven pumping up the crowd, it’s just the fact that the 1 on 1 stepladder match shows are different where the crowd should be silent just while the bowler is on the approach. I definitely wish I could see Keven vs PDW cause PDW definitely would hate the crowd making noise and I wonder how it would be handled 😂

[@GaryGordon-wk3cq]

2 stone 9 pins OUCH😮

[@mham1330]

What is the date that this tournament was originally aired?🤔

[@maxvilsaint8680]

It bothered me a little when they said multiple times that Belmo started the two handed bowling trend. He wasn’t the first. It was Osku and I wish Osku got the credit he deserves! I love Belmo, but he wasn’t the first on tour or on TV to do it.

[@sirbenwatson]

That was fu**in fun.

[@jimmyjames6267]

So happy Svensson beat Belmonte, Everyone is a Belmonte fan, but he ain't perfect!

[@thebeyonder77777]

Dumbest comment on KZbin.

not only are they all left handers, they're all 2 handed left handers lmao

[@tyenottyler]

i keep hearing that jason belmonte is the greatest bowler of all time but all ive seen is him losing (im new to watching bowling)

[@reinnegroni8462]

Wrong that was the late, great Billy Welu, that was before Nelson “Bo” Burton went into commentary with Chris Schenkel back in 1976, two years after Billy passed away back in 1974.

[@thebestian]

kevin and packy hyping up the crowd more than anything, or anyone I've seen in awhile.

[@oskarwelin3535]

wasn´t Osku first with the two-handed style?

[@radinsyah1574]

Belmo should have moved his target right on the right lane, not his feet, to ensure getting the earlier dry area. Unless of course he did 😂

[@LouisCsanko]

Spoiler Alert. Please watch all of the matches before you read the comments.😎

I hate two handed bowling but it's here and you got to live with it doesn't mean I have to like it. I grew up throwing the ball conventional not this two handed stuff but it's here so congratulations to these bowlers.

[@cowboy7170]

The PBA can ban two-handed bowling but the two-handed bowlers can then start their own league and become the "major league of bowling". The PBA would become the "minor leagues".

[@yungsam64]

Fanta provides nothing but incel jokes about ten pins lol

[@sawyersimpkins9428]

The RNG of bowling is something i can't deal with. Same shot, same numbers, different result. What are you supposed to do.

[@DS-qz2gu]

That’s just false. There is no “RNG” in physics 😂 if you throw the same exact shot, you’ll get the same exact result.

[@c0rruptedhusky]

thinking that bowling involves rng shows you don't even average 180 lol

[@sawyersimpkins9428]

@DS-qz2gu That's true, but the rng can come from pin action and pin placement. There's no guarantee that the pins are in the exact same spot. The same shot with the same numbers (rev rate, speed, line) can give you a strike on one and a ring 10 on another. Not to mention the added hurdle of oil being pushed down the lane, but at least that can be taken into account.

[@sawyersimpkins9428]

Also, if you think I literally meant RNG thats on you. We all know there's no random number generator in bowling. It's pretty easy to infer I meant the uncontrollable changing elements of bowling - pin placement, pin action being the biggest.

[@sawyersimpkins9428]

@@c0rruptedhusky I wonder why they allow one re-rack per game. Hmmm

[@TheRagingRayn]

Why there is a shot clock in bowling is beyond me.

[@The77Game]

For tv there has to be. They have a schedule and they have to get enough commercials in. But i don't like the new rules. Things have to move too fast now for some.

[@DS-qz2gu]

They need to control the length of the broadcast for TV purposes. I don’t love it either, but it makes sense.

[@Asian_Import]

What a stark difference between Belmo and Packy/Keven. Belmo needs dead silence, complains about the shot clock rule, frustrated the entire time - the crowd is just dead. Then Packy comes out hyping the crowd up, has chants going during his approach, laughing with Keven the entire match - the crowd loves it. THAT is how you grow the sport of bowling, the next generation of the PBA is in good hands.

[@reinnegroni8462]

John has zero knowledge in bowling, he sits down like Chris Farley & looks like Peter Griffin, Dave LaMont does better commentary than Fred Flintstone, I guarantee it. Alongside Randy the urethane hater, they needs to stop yelling at bowlers like they did to Kyle Troup awhile back. They need to be moved regardless of who they're yelly at.
