    Ouch. Sadly, the honest truth is probably instead of thinking "Oh NO I hope he is ok!!" His opponents were probably jumping for joy on the inside.

    I don't understand. Why didn't he just let go of the ball? What was he trying to accomplish there?

    I doubt his opponents were overly concerned about him winning as he was solidly (30+ pins) in last place in the 9th frame and was shooting at a split when everyone else had marked in that frame.

    Obviously pretending to fake **** like this when they already failing badly. Just like some NBA players who missed a dunk and than pretending to fake a little injury to save face. Yeah he was really in the hunt to win a million dollars.

    Yup. The guy is faking it. This is always the best excuse when you're down and out badly athletes will fake this kind of stuff. Thumb stuck my ass. Replaying that video the guy the other fingers are still holding onto the ball. Guessed all his fingers got stuck too.

    The comments on Yahoo were more rational than the ones on Clutchfans. Sign of the times.

    Nothing. I've seen enough of this kind of thing that people will pull especially in sports as an excuse to pull out of competition when one is already performing embarassingly. It's like you did something embarrassing so you pull a sympathy card so others will feel sorry for you. Been there and it's part of human behavior. Maybe you should take a good look at the 720p video to see my point.

    Well, my only logic here is thinking that I would rather bowl badly and have a few hundred people or thousand (if it's televised) know that than be slapped on youtube for millions to see me look like an idiot. lol.

    I don't the fail here. All I see is epic win.

    Notice in the last replay, the second he fell, that grandma in the audience raised her hand for a "Hallelujah!"
