Was this the most bizarre ending to a championship match you’ve ever seen?
Thank you for the immediate post for those who did not add enough time on their DVR!!!
Totally
Forget championship. This is bizarre to see in league, let alone pros!
Who else cried.
@@robertcuratolo5339 yes I did and witnessed it live at Bayside
The fact that wes let duke throws the last shot. Brought tears to my eyes. The sportsmanship showcased by wes mallott.
Same here, but Wes has been his doubles partner for years which made it even cooler.
I'm not crying, you are.
Same. By far one of the most beautiful moments in sports.
The look Norm gave Wes when he had him up off the ground 😆
Tears? Lmao. Get some help.
The sporting world needs more people like Norm! Class act!
did he not retire? so much for that,
Stormin' Norman, The Wee Iceman, Norm Duke, what a career, what a legend. We love you!!!
So much respect for Kyle at the end with his comment regarding Arturo and MVP Trophy. Much respect. Great final. 🙏
What an amazing finish.
Norm Duke = Class and professionalism and legend .
Thank you Norm for 40 incredible years . DUKE DUKE DUKE👍❤️🙏👍👍👍👍
God I wish I watched this live. This is definitely one of the best PBA telecasts in my lifetime. So many things came together for an insane show.
I was in the crowd and the atmosphere in the building does not reflect how it looked on TV. It was LOUD and there were plenty of tears shed for Norm.
@@Bowler4Ever That’s so awesome, I need to go to Bayside Bowl one day
@@Bowler4Ever thats awesome, bayside is definitely on my travelers bucketlist
Bizarre. Strange. Unbelievable. Exciting. Emotional. Adjectives not usually used for the sport of bowling but all very appropriate for this championship match! What a crowd! What an atmosphere! And What a send off for Norm! And The Big Nasty let Norm throw the last shot……and of course Norm struck!
WOW!!
How can you not Love Norm. He's one of the good guys. Love ya Norm , thank you for all of the great memories.
This was one of the craziest endings since Belmonte's two 7-10s to lose to Simonsen in a major.
Crowd felt like I was watching wrestlemania or something. Awesome energy. No way I could bowl that hyped. 😂
Kris Prather missing that 9 pin is so unbelievable, I'd think it was scripted if I didn't know any better. But I do, and the pros always have trouble shooting spares with this crowd so I'm not surprised.
Also, I did tear up seeing Norm throw that last shot. He's my all-time favorite, sad to see him retire
Yeah...Duke is my fav of all the legends. The fact he can still throw such a beautiful ball at 58 is incredible.
PBA50 & 60 he is still going to tear it up!
Kris is a really good spare shooter, too. Makes it even more shocking
@@TopKirby8305 he completely retired from bowling, he isnt bowling the pba50 or the pba60 tour.
That last 4 frames was absolutely bananas.
I think it is probably safe to say we won't see an ending like THIS again.
Everything right with bowling happened here except an inconsolable Matt Ogle. Man I hope he bounces back. Can't wait to see Packy's vlog though
Hoping Ogle kills it in the All Star thing they have next weekend, or whatever it is where the top guy from each team competes for a win. Can't remember if it's the All Star Challenge or Strike Derby (pretty sure he's on both shows) but that will be redemption for him. As much as I felt bad for Duke, the pain for Ogle practically breaks my heart.
I did not love Tommy Jones' reaction to his brooklyn that won the first game. Brooklyn's are part of bowling man, you shouldn't be down on your own teammate when he seals the win in that game. Felt like Matt was trying to justify himself to TJ
@@elock i feel it was more toward Matt's reaction to it but yea that felt awkward just watching TJ's reaction
He made a good shot that should have struck. Missing the spare didn’t help but it most likely would not have made a difference.
Well Ogle almost pulled off the win for the Strike Derby haha.
Thank you, Norm! And Congrats to the Lumberjacks! What an amazing finish, and that ending was crazy!!!
Best finish of all. Farewell norm will be missed but never forgotten great watching you and congratulations to all the great bowlers
I met Norm Duke and had dinner with him at a Bowl Expo around 2008. What a GREAT Guy!
I'm a Grandma watching from New Zealand. Wow what a comp ending. Watched you over the years Norm. Thank you for the entertainment!
Excellent job of Fox Sports in compressing this competition. That made it very watchable and fast moving. The last half of the final match was unusual, embarrassing, and exciting. It was a masterpiece in choking.
Choking? I suppose you wouldn't do exactly the same thing.
@@TheMk1960 I don't whiff the 9 pin!
@@drwisdom1 Prove it.
@@TheMk1960 it was a “ choke” what would u call ?? Missing 1 pin spares is unexpected!!
Chris Prather hahahaha!!!! That’s a 99.9 shot!!
Then green haired guy whips 7 pin!!!!!!!
Spare me!!!
@@drwisdom1 I whiff the 7 like Matt Ogle did LOL.
Wow that ending was wild. The pressure got to the pros in the end....wow
Big thanks to Norm Duke! What a legend ❤️ you have had such an impact on everything that involves in and around bowling! You even got me on the other side of the pound to bowl again! Love u Norm! 😢❤
My two favorites of all time: Wes and Norm. Wonderful ending for me. Thanks for posting this!
I don’t want Norm Duke to be done. A joyous moment highlighting an incredible career as a bowler…..
We all love you Norm! And I just started bowling last year.
We're all going to miss you Norm, you are a true legend.
I was cutting onions when Norm threw that last shot. And what a class act the whole Portland team was, especially Wes and Tim...
i’ve never seen something more this sport needed than this
This has to be the greatest match in bowling history!
That was the best televised bowling event ever. From the pros turning into Joe's to Troup giving his mvp trophy away to Dukes last strike. Wow. Go Team house bowler Packy
ill give it 2nd place. 2012 US open is single handedly the best PBA TV cast of all time
The match was over so it didn’t matter, but Wes could nearly have opened the 10th with a pocket 7-10. Crazy game.
all i can say is wow! congrats to lumberjacks! and what a career for norm duke...i was a fan of his from the start back in the day!
The best thing besides norm and his legendary career was definitely Arturo and his energy through out the matches lol definitely made it more entertaining if it wasn’t already
I was really surprised he didn't get MVP
@@doomusrlc he got the trophy in the end
Man the agony of defeat......man this exciting from start to finish....one of the wildest endings. Indeed I shed a couple tears at the end....man what a series!!!!
Great way for Norm to go out! EPIC!
What an amazing crowd, what a crazy ending, and what a career for Norm Duke! Class act from start to finish. Nice of Wes to let Norm throw that last ball.
This is the part where I would normally write "I'm not crying you're crying"...But no not today...Today I am crying. Good ole Norm Duke
Huge props for the lumberjacks to let Duke throw that last strike for his retirement. Absolute true sportsmanship and im sad even to this day that he retired
WOW! What an ending! So exciting. Norm Duke, man it's sad we wont get to see him continue to bowl. What a legend. Thank you Norm.
That was a great Elias Cup Finals Showdown! Game 5 was crazy because there was some splits and missed spares! Congrats to the Portland Lumberjacks on 3 peat and also congrats to Norm Duke for closing out his legendary bowling career with a strike in the last frame! FOX Sports has a great bowling telecast and great announcers like Rob Stone, Dave Ryan, and the one and only Randy Pedersen! And of course the beautiful laneside reporter Kimberly Pressler! Great Job FOX Sports! 👏🎳
Norm Duke is a living legend, weber, pb3, wrwj absolute legends
The “we’ll keep on fighting til the end” line playing and Dave Ryan saying “bye bye Norm” all precisely as the ball hit the pocket was just beautiful 🥲😭 30:23
Legend in Norm retiring is very sad an amazing 40 years
Thank you Norm Duuuuuuuuuke. You are an inspiration to me and so many. God bless you on the second chapter of your career.
Thank you Norm ❤
What sportsmanship, duke is a legend of this sport and had an amazing career.
Norm Duke. Thank you for 40 years of entertainment on the lanes. One word to describe Norm Duke extraordinary. Awesome. Spectacular. You will be missed.
WTH just happended there. You couldn´t have written that script... Congrats to the Lumberjacks, and Good luck Norm, we´ll miss you - a true legend of the game. Hope you keep being the Dallas Strikers manager.
The best crowd and this bowling tournament was wild and insane 😳 👏!!
the lumberjacks team is so stacked like its crazy lol
Is there a bowler in PBA history that's more loved than Norm Duke? I can't think of anyone. He's been my idle since I was a kid. Great career Norm!
Congrats to the Lumberjacks on their win.
Honestly the craziest ending since Del Ballard guttered against Pete Weber
That ending was amazing.
28:19 Pretty much sums it up!😵💫
Isn’t this kind of crowd atmosphere way more fun than having them be golf course/tennis court quiet?
Larga vida a la leyenda viviente Norm Duke 🙏
That's the craziest ending in the PBA in a very, very, very long time!!
What an unbelievable ending!! 🤯🤯🤯 and to the legend Norm Duke we will truely miss you bowl on national tv.
This is the most insane match I've ever seen.
I was on the edge of my seat. Great match! UNBELIEVABLE ENDING!!
Nothing could have prepared me for the ending. Absolutely ridiculous breaks for both teams.
Can't wait to see the Brad and Kyle vlog on this given as how their cameraman was speechless at 28:25
why am i crying over norm duke :( I really only got into bowling seriously about a year ago at the age of 26. My mom has been bowling in house shot leagues since i was 16 and now that i do it I have made some great friends. I can only imagine as doubles partners as well how much that final shot to norm meant especially coming from his long time partner big nasty
Emotional scenes... farewell norm, you're gonna be missed!
Theres no doubting that was fun to watch! How Bout Duke, G.O.A.T. status huge heart/ambassador for bowling!
Like the format of alternating frames
Lesson of the day kids, make your spares. Never take a shot off. Every shot requires complete attention.
24:45 this is where the craziness started. Rollercoaster of a game.
Holy mother, do you think Arturo went home with that MVP trophy? - I mean he prolly did deserve it, and massive props to Troup for saying so!
Craziest finish I can remember since the title match at the 1986 King Louie Open!
WE LOVE YOU NORM
Youve got to be kidding me! What a match!!
Glad to have seen this live.
Congratulations Norm Duke!
Norm duke is class personified
Norm Duke..You ARE THE MAN
Totally should’ve been Arturo’s MVP. But congrats to Norm on an amazing career. We’ll miss you.
"i think this is supposed to go to arturo" lmao
that was absolutely crazy!
I knew Arturo Quintero was gonna throw a bad shot in the 7th when he spewed all that emotion yelling “esta mi casa” right before his shot. His ego got the best of him there.
That was crazy!!!!
I'm sad that I won't see him bowling anymore, but congratulations on his wonderful retirement
I didn't know Norm is Retiring I met him where I work years ago I believe in 2014 great guy great bowler
He retired from the tour a few months back and now retired from PBA league as well.
@@TheInsaneShecklador is he going to bowl on the PBA50 tour? I hope so.
In. Sane. Fox, thanks for getting us a great cut and not spoiling the in the title. Here's to Norm for a fantastic career! That ending was exactly what this sport needed!
I was there LIVE it was beyond nuts
Good grief... was there a 12 drink minimum for that crowd?? 🤣🤣🤣
The start was a bit wild with all those solid 10s...
This is so fun!
At 0:38 now we know who Wes Mallot handler was besides Carmen Salvino
Dang thought Wes just gonna make 5 pins on that last frame. Insane match though
Que final !!!!!!
There will never be a bowling match like this again.
I’m not crying, YOU’RE crying! 😢
What an ending
Love the energy from the crowd. It crazy. Get you pumped up
That was a crazy ending. I’m going to miss watching Norm.
最後のショット!カッコ良すぎ☆☆☆
Thank You Norm
Feel bad for Norm. He didn't do well the first 2 games but his team won, then they let him down in the end. But to their credit, the Lumberjacks roster is so stacked they really have no business losing two matches. Better across the board than every team by a good margin.
2:30 Integrity one day
Yeah I said it
I don't give a $*!t
How fitting Duke vs. his best bud and doubles partner Wes in the finals of Norms last pba league ride.
Kyle troop gave the mvp to Arturo, thats class...
