Now I catch it down here on ESPN 2 in Mexico.
Funny, I just realized, I can watch bowling over the Champion's Tour.
That conversation about "relating" to the players may be a true I guess.
I really would only recognize maybe 3-4 of the players on the Champions Tour.
Bowling though has changed for me. I was more interested when people like Earl Anthony were "rollin", but now it's "let's see if I can smash the pins through the back wall" throwing going on now.
