Bill Scheid Rants About Chris Barnes

Apparently Ebonite International president Bill Scheid is not very happy with how Columbia 300′s biggest name bowler, Chris Barnes, has been bowling once he makes the TV finals. As we all know, Barnes bowls well in almost every event, but has a history of not being able to finish out a tournament once he reaches the finals. Here is a video that someone made showing how Bill reacted to the situation. FYI – This is not a real video of Bill Scheid, but it is one of the funniest videos that I have seen in a long time.

Update (2/25/10): Unfortunately, this video has been removed from YouTube. (Possibly under pressure from Ebonite International, who knows…)

Update (2/28/10): The video has been re-posted. The video was edited to remove some parts that were seen as “very insulting.”
