Somebody please if you can do it, upload the show onto YouTube and please post it here. I would love to hear what Michael Wilbon said.
As for The Big Nasty giving him at least 55 pins, it's obvious that Wilbon's league average is about 150-160 or so, if my avg./handicap ratio is correct (90% of 200-210). Also, make it so that Wes Malott has to use a plastic ball (can't avoid it this time, now can you Wes???) while Michael Wilbon gets to use his reactive equipment and also gets his choice of what oil pattern they will compete on.
Even with that, he'll still need a little help in the form of either an open frame or a foul from Wes, (remember he fouled twice against Liz Johnson in their historic semi-final match in 2005, allowing Tommy Jones and Liz Johnson to have their epic and history-making title match) as well as some good-old-fashioned pin carry.

It looked like Wilbon simply was trying to laugh it off and not even take it seriously. Then once Kornhieser or however the hell you spell his name, started to call him out for calling out a professional athelete. After that, then Wilbon started listing off stimulations cause he knew he was in trouble.

Hey at least Wilbon is talking about bowling, who else in sports talk is even mentioning it? I am happy that Wilbon bowls and I think he was saying what we were all thinking "What are you afraid of, by not bowling?" Wes called him out on it, but in fairness, Wes Should have bowled, I understand the reasons he didn't, but he still should have sucked it up as a professional and did it.
Taking off the week of the plastic ball tournament is tantamount to me taking off every time we have to run loads of cable in a building. Just because it is hard work is no excuse for taking off.
He can call me out and I would be happy to bowl him, but I can't bowl so eat it big wussy!
