Bowling’s Official Website Has Changed
And Boy, has it changed dramatically! At first, I was a little skeptical, as most people fear change. But after cruising around the site for a while, I must say it grew on me. The new layout is awesome, not too mention the ease of looking up my bowling league recap sheet is a few less steps. And there is a really cool forum that you can sign up for and find out all about bowling tournaments domestic and international. You can even post to the forum yourself anything that they deem appropriate. I must say despite my usual fear of change, this was change for the better. If you have not seen Bowling’s new official website, you must check it out:

Feel free to disagree with me and leave comments of what yo do not like about the site. I love constructive criticism.

Earl Anthony vs. Walter Ray Williams Jr: Who Is Better?
The debate continues on who is the greatest bowler of all time, and honestly, there is only one or two small things that need to be done to end it. I am a big fan of Walter Ray Williams Jr, but I believe the right choice was made to select Earl Anthony as the all time greatest bowler for two reasons.
1. Earl Anthony's winning percentage per event is much higher.
2. Earl Anthony has won 3 more majors than Walter. Enough said.
Bearing that in mind, however, if Walter could win a few more titles, especially a major or two, I do not think you could argue that what he has done is not better. He has dominated the sport for longer that Earl, and pending he stays healthy, many more years to come. I mean come on, do you know what the record is for the highest conversion rate of single pin spares is for a total season? You can bet that honor is held by Walter Ray with a 100% spare percentage. Yes folks, in one entire season on the PBA Tour, he did not miss one single pin spare. I find that to be quite amazing, and surely that is why they call him "Dear-Eye", also because he almost never throws a horseshoe without throwing a ringer.
The debate may continue, but I feel with Walter having a few more decent seasons, the debate will be over. Feel free to leave a comment!
