Pete Weber classic get off my lawn guy
This comment is beautiful.
LOL, I was like what then I saw him at 3:38.
He's a dick. I was 13 when him and a bunch of pro's came to our alley and did a kid-pro bowl. He's the only one I didn't like. Respected him though, amazing bowler.
He should have congratulated the kid he was yelling at for motivating him.
@@TheChubbyKid yep, happened to me too, but it was Chris Barnes that was rude and cold to us. It was at a local Pro-Am meetup.
"Michael's got a great release. He reminds me of me." Lol! Classic Weber comment.
Yeah, egomaniac. :-P
my procrastination knows no limits...
I feel you
I went bowling *twice*
And I'm watchi g this like my life depends on it
Lol ur profile pick goes perfectly with this
@@squidfeet7278 oh yeah yeah
You read my book
@@5445jedi ur sad d
its 3 am
i basically know nothing about bowling
i basically dont give a damn about it
wtf am doing here??
btw congrats to pete
Yea... I feel u its 2 am here right now n I'm thinking the same
@@MegaUPMANYU 1am here doing the same
346 here
4 am right here lol
Im pretty sure its a universal constant that around 3 am you end up at the obscure side of youtube
Who do the 372 dislikes think they are?! Pete is!!!!
Underrated comment
@@anthonybuck1044 very underrated comment
Pete Weber is the reason I bowl. Ever since I was a kid I've been a fan. Love this guy.
He's the bad boy of bowling.
Same here
A classic match that ends with a classic triumphant exclamation! Pete Weber's a character. Love him or hate him - he's been great for the PBA!
is this the WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE- I AM!" guy???
24:48
Of course it is.
I met Pete years back at Sproul lanes Pa. We were talking college football the whole time he was practicing. He actually asked me what was my name and thanked me for my support.
Very cool to hear his comments and get the insight on what he was thinking and feeling during this match. He has a lot more class than some people think.
Love the whole Weber family. Dad was a legend..
This is unreasonably epic. I hate bowling, but watching this is incredibly cathartic. i felt my chest tightening every frame even though i knew who was going to win. This is incredible.
I just found out about this Pete Weber guy and he is such a good dude and even though people label him as a bad guy of bowling he clearly is just emotional and competitive. Wish he was younger so we could see more of him in the future
Plenty of videos online of him bowling starting when he was 19 in the finals.
Pete Weber is the last guy that should be lecturing anyone about "sportsmanship".
Amen
So true
@@alexhaxan I'll tell you what he did. Lost his cool. If a 50 year old “pro” can’t block a little kid’s cheering against him, then shame on the pro. Pete probably has the thinnest skin on the men’s or women’s circuit.
TonyTheCat1 that’s his competitive spirit. That’s who he is, that style got him to be one of the goats what you talkin bout
no u
I watched this live from start to finish. Been a PDW fan since I was in diapers. IMO, this is the greatest performance in PBA history. That last frame had me out of my seat. Unbelievable telecast.
"Who do you think you are, I am!!" Best celebration in sports history.
Oh, this is going to be good. Always wanted to hear his perspective of this show
I personally think people should be able to cheer and boo who they want. I mean, Pete said it himself in this video that if you root against him or make him mad that it just makes him bowl better...so I would’ve kept encouraging that kid to keep BOOing me.
Earl Anthony with blast both of those guys
Back in the day, when someone was up in their stance you're quiet, afterwards fine. I always wait till the person either to my rt or left is totally done before I make my run up.
I came here hoping to find out who pete was looking at
Juicy Gumball now that Pete said what he said, I think it's between that group of four kids in the first and second row. Pause at 4:27 and they are in the middle of the screen
Pause at 3:44 and look at that kid smirking that's who he's mad at lmao
No man it's that ball headed Bastard.
Mike Harkins I bet you must’ve been feeling amazing after bowling that 258 going into the last game
@William Nowacki III it was a child. The kid didn't know any better. Pete calling him out means that Pete is an absolute piece of shit, scumbag human being.
everyone in these comments are talking about how pete is so full of himself and blah blah blah but the title is literally called “players perspective”. he’s supposed to talk about himself and how he felt he did😂
Citizen Puppet you’re gonna have an ego when talking about yourself. that was the whole point of the video.
Exactly. Pete is a nice person. I met him when I was a junior in high school. He’s about 9 years older than me. I beat him in a junior/ pro tournament. After I won he sat down and talked to me for about 2 hours. He talked about bowling and life. We kept in touch all the way through my college years. He was a good mentor.
Ole Pete came off as a douchebag regarding the kid cheering against him, which I would expect from douchebag Pete.
Yeah of course. Plus when you're a legend in the thing you do, you're allowed to talk highly of yourself.
He’s so calm when he’s not on the lanes
I'm nearly 100% positive "the kid" is the one in the black shirt. He is in the 2nd row and is sitting right behind the kid in a hat. Watch Pete after his spare shot in the 2nd frame. At 4:06 Pete says "It's called sportsmanship pal." Then around 4:10 you'll see the kid in the hat. Look at the kid sitting right behind him and when Pete says "It's called sportsmanship pal" you'll see the kid turn to his friend almost as if to say "is he talking to me?" and he is the only one not clapping.
And if you STILL don't see him lmao he's easy to spot if you pause at 7:32. Look to left side of the screen. See the kid in the hat? He's sitting right behind him.
Calm, cool and collective.
Heard him say that twice. Maybe he's a helicopter pilot in his spare time.
Collected?
@@michaelconlee3925 I think the OP was simply quoting the man himself 24:05 . But I get why he mixed up collected and collective. That's because he's in a collective that collects the smiles of children ages 9-15
I loved listening to Pete talk about his emotions during what he described as the greatest game of his career!
My heart was racing..
Pete without question one of the greatest.
I had the pleasure of meeting Pete out in Reno. I was afraid to approach him and ask for an autograph, but he was the nicest, most humble bowler I’ve met. His fiery personality on the lanes is much different than his temperament off the lanes. So much respect for him.
Joshua Romero That “kid” was 15 at the time... hardly a kid, if he wants to talk shit to an adult then take what comes next.
Yeah he is really nice I met him st the 07 Masters it was an honor to meet him and his wife.. They are very nice people
This was such a great moment, not just for Pete but for bowling history. Great video. :D
What a dream! I could feel the pressure of Pete's last shot!
Congrats!
In the mind of a Legend, during the championship match of the U.S. Open when this was bowling on absolute dirt. This was absolutely the most difficult pattern the PBA used at the time. It was a brutal mental grind for these guys. To see Pete completely nut that shot in the 10th to win was amazing to see.
Quarantine has me watching all kinds of videos I never did before........ lol. That being said, I used to bowl on a league and this was fun to watch. And an incredibly close game. Nice work Pete.
Pete Weber is amazing. He's done such a great job adapting his game over the years. He started out as a pure cranker,, power bowler and now he's much more of a finesse guy. He's great at manipulating his hand and changing the type of rotation on the ball. He can come around the ball and hook it gutter to gutter or flatten his hand out and come up the back of the ball and go straight up the right gutter.
So glad to hear this one. For anyone who actually still thinks Weber is a jerk, show them this. He's one of the nicest guys ever.
pete is such a nice guy, met him at the open championships this year, was so nice to my sister and i, she had lost her phone, and we were trying to get her to stop crying, here comes pete, saying aw its going to be okay little one, and ended up giving her a dollar, she still talks about her "best friend" pete weber
Ndawg88 wow awesome story and super jealous. I remember when I first Pete on TV I thought we was rude. Only took another month before I realized otherwise. And years later I'm amazed so many people still think he's mean.
yeah for sure! he signed a bowling pin and took a picture with me, he always seems like a jerk on tv, but he is probably the furthest from a jerk!
it was so awesome though, we got to bowl right next to him the second day, it was just so cool to see him throw in person
He's still kind of just a bitch tho man
i would have clapped too like the kid not knowing that it was necessarily bad to leave 1 pin.
He sure does love talking highly about himself
He kinda earned it
i mean he is like realy good lol hes acomplished a lot ofc he can lol, just like how i can too id probs beat him tbh
no u
He’s actually a pretty nice guy. I bowled against him as a junior amateur a long time ago and beat him. After the game he sat with me for a couple hours talking about bowling and life. He was very down to earth. I kept in touch with him through college, then life happened. I wound up being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, so my bowling career never happened. He was very supportive and a good mentor for about 5 years.
Most douchebags do
Exudes confidence - borderline arrogant but it’s all confidence and he’s earned the right to speak at that level about himself and his fellow competitors
He may come off as kind of arrogant, but he isn’t. He wasn’t even when he was young. I bowled against him when I was 17 at a junior/pro tournament. At first I thought he was a jerk. Then, he spent two hours afterwards talking to me about bowling and life. He kept in touch with me through my college years.
Haven't followed for yrs,how does he stack up against his dad?
I appreciate this, seeing Pete from a different perspective is nice. He can come off a bit... well you know but hearing his side helps understand where he was coming from
This was really cool, i would love to see more of this
Great watch and commentary. You're the man, Pete
One of the greatest friends/family/roommates that I have ever had. Him and his wife! Total definition of "CLASS"! Don't judge him from what you see on television. He's at his place of business, so he means business on the lanes! Off lanes...one of the coolest you've ever met. Easy to approach and talk to. Just give him a few minutes after the block so he can wind down and get bowling out of his mind, and be a normal person like all of us. All pros are easy to talk to. Timing is everything.
After all these years, to find out it was a kid he was talking to. Just perfect.
I'd love to hear the kid's 'Perspective' and commentary for this video.
Probably a lot of swearing
@@Hyperion856 Maybe
letting one kid get that in on you... i would say you are the kid
nope.
@@squinqz8bp230 Wtf do you mean nope?
@@davidpiraten3976 nope.
Squinqz's Life If you let a single child get to you you really are a weakest person on earth. Plus the guy’s an asshole.
I agree but u gotta remember it's in the moment and he's probably pumped as he's won 3 or 4 (can't remember) games before this. Still agree with ya but that probably helped fuel him to win so I get it from his side cus he's bowling for a title but yeah a kid rooting against u ain't a big deal at the same time
I'm thankful for that vox video about lane oil patterns that helped me understand the lingo.
"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, I AM "
is the greatest quote in life. Nothing even biblical comes close.
who's my favorite bowler? oh Pete Weber for sure! watching this video actually wants me to get back into bowling!
He is by far my favorite bowler,the same age as I am. I will watch a couple videos before I head to the lanes to get me fired up,he is so competitive and all business when he hits the lanes!
I love how he is so into the game, feeling angry, glad and letting it show.
My favorite part about the thing with the kid is that nobody in the stands or even on TV knew who he was talking to or why he was talking to them but he still says that the kid knows who he is and deserved it.
I honestly and truly believe that every single kid in the stands probably thought it was them that he was yelling at. Even the announcers couldn’t figure out what the problem was.
I really wish I knew what was going on with the kid. It's fascinating and mysterious.
PDW ! PROBABLY THE GREATEST WIN OF HIS CAREER , ESPECIALLY SWEET I'M SURE AT AN OLDER AGE ! lOVE TO WATCH THIS GUY BOWL . i GREW UP WATCHING HIM BACK IN THE DAY ON ABC AND HOPE HE CONTINUES A BIT LONGER , SO ENTERTAINING !
when a little kid roots against you so you give him the super intimidating safety goggle stare down.
i get you don’t want your focus disturbed but there’s 100+ people around you god forbid a kid roots for the other competitor. i felt the second hand embarrassment and uncomfortable vibe for the rest of the game. let’s be real. what if the kid was rooting for him because he hit nine pins in that kids eyes that’s a good shot probably lost a fan and possibly put the kid off of bowling you never know he could have been your biggest fan. keeping your composure after a mistake makes you look far more superior when you succeed
Don't bring a kid to a huge event. As he said he doesn't care if you cheer for the other guy, just don't cheer against him on his turn to try and mess him up. Same thing would happen in golf etc
Moliminous
try and mess him up? he had finished that part of the frame completely. do you think everyone quiets down when a basketball players misses a free throw? no the stands erupt because they came to the event and are allowed to do that they paid money to cheer and boo competitors. pete continues to look like a weak little bitch winning or losing. ninety percent of people won’t remember his 5+ career titles or how stressful this title must have been with his father passing away, because i know for a fact when i think of pete weber i think of this exact moment where he destroyed his family name and dads reputation just to ruin a little kids day.
@@Chris-ty8iu everything about you just makes me puke up a little.
Weber was super somber throughout the first couple of frames. In my opinion he needed something to focus his energy on and for him to have a way to get some of his feelings out about this maybe being his fifth title and surpassing his father. He has said that everything he does he did for his dad. His family name isn't tarnished because of one moment, look at what both pete and dick have done throughout bowling's history. It puts it into perspective why he was so fired up throughout that game.
@@christop3147 you're wrong. This is the first time I've ever encountered the name Pete Weber, and in my honest opinion, he will forever be a piece of shit. Pardon my language, but if you're a grown man, you don't "bow" up to a child. It leaves everyone else thinking (or knowing) that you have some issues up in your head.
Pete Weber seems like such a cool guy, I'd really like to meet him one day
I would love to bowl him
Talk some wrestling and watch his eyes light up, you'll have a friend for life.
He's pretty nice. I met him at a pro am in '05. Poor guy was exhausted from match play that week too. He was still pretty nice. I'd like to meet him away from the tour
I got to play with him in a golf scramble in Cincy years ago. He is a nice guy, very competitive at golf as well, and high strung as fuck. Pete's Pete, leave him be.
Meet him you'll be happy you did he is really cool
I got to say Pete Weber has a ton of emotion when it comes to bowling. If I had Pete Weber on my fantasy bowling team that would be awesome.
Sun glasses & Supreme cofidence,dad taught him well.
the ball he swithces to thats green and orange is the storm Frantic. Amazing ball i use it today
Thanks man
Pete Weber is a total bad ass of the lanes. Real character, very fun to watch him proform.
He is much nicer than I expected
@3:45 Haha ok tough guy bowler.
miguelitosanchez who does that kid think he is? Pete is.
Pete and mike have the best looking swings in bowing
One thing I think they don't talk about enough is just how difficult the US Open oil pattern is. There is no room for error. Novices such as myself need not apply. I bowled on them once and I couldnt do much of anything. I am just a cosmic bowler though : )
Anyone notice he said he was “staring down a kid?” Classless
You had to understand what was going on. The kid was being a nuisance all afternoon. He heckled Weber after he missed a 10 pin in the first game of the stepladder that day, then kept makes noises while Weber was on the left-lane approach several other times. If I were in charge, I would have had the kid and his family moved to a different spot in the seats.
@@davidbiggy4650 an athlete swallows things like this. Better prove him wrong with your skills and not staring down a fucking Kid.
@@11vis56 actually.. most athletes are complete dicks...
@@11vis56 it's one thing is the kid only did it once. But the kids did it several times and made Noise to try and distract him while he was throwing. This is not wrestling or football or any other pro sport where you get to make noise at any moment and they just have to take it. This is pro bowling. At this kind of event unless the person is not getting ready to throw the ball you be quiet period. He has every right to say something to the kid if he wants and that kid has to learn that he can't get away with with whatever he wants just because he's a kid. And also since the guy won that tournament he most certainly proved it with his skills and did swallow the jeers. He just took it his own way and took that and used it as fuel to win instead of letting it make him lose.
@@davidbiggy4650 Both of you are some big fucking pussies for letting a child get into your head.
I wish I had been a bowling fan back then. He would have been my favorite guy!
pete weber looks like he borrowed the teeth from penguin off of the old batman
Those damn light mixers gotta love it
8 people left the towel on Pete's ball
IHasDandruff one of that is Jason right? Ahhahahh
I bowled vs his Dad back in the fifties, a real class act, not like junior who is a real jerk!
peter schmidt seriously? That’s cool, did you ever play with Pete when he was younger?
I can’t believe I’m watching bowling but this is lit 🔥
I like Pete. He’s very passionate about the game. Especially on the lanes. But he’s a super nice in person
Carmen’s look of disappointment when Pete was yelling at the kid. Fucking legend.
my dad use to bowl with this guy when he was younger the coolest story I've ever heard
17:59 I do believe I might've found our culprit. Front row, kid in the hat, the staredown while everybody else claps.
Of course the camera didn't exactly show it earlier so this is speculation.
Lmao the "I like bowling" sign
21:48 did anyone else notice scott the engineer from howard stern in the stands
I just watched the whole video, damn I love this guy!
i just noticed that at 3:43 the kid in the black shirt was sitting in the front row smirking at PDW, then at 4:10 you see the same kid has moved back into the 2nd row, and his mom is giving him "the look" lol. must have been that kid.
WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS !?!
xFLOPSHOOTERx you might be right. I was always thinking it was that kid in the front row with that blue/gray shirt on with a hat. He never clapped for Pete Weber, but did for everyone else.
xFLOPSHOOTERx I saw the kid at 3:43 who had a black hat, and was smiling big when Pete looked at me. But I don’t see him again in 4:10 ... maybe I’m just blind
@@octaviahall900 Above the Geico G you see a newly empty seat at 4:10. Next to that is a kid in a blue hat and black shirt guy is directly behind him. You can see Mom looking back from the first row. What a catch!
That kid was always in the second row.
That kid's mom was ready to smack him upside the head for behaving that way at a US Open on national television. What an embarrassment to a parent. That kid has to be 15 or 16 and knows better. I am sure mom told him he deserved what he got. At a PGA tournament they escort you right out if you are that close and jeer a player. They do not want any part of that at the competition.
You guys should do a player's perspective of the 2013 CP3 Invitational with Barnes, O'Neill, Hardwick, and Kevin Hart. It was a great championship match and the 2018 CP3 Invitational is coming up. Thanks for the great video!
In spite of the antics, this was one heckuva match. Both guys throwing hay makers.
The green and orange ball that Pete switched to from the marvel pearl is the Storm Frantic.
If the poor kid gave Weber the bird at the end that would have been as good as the win :)
3 fav swings to swatch: Anthony Pepe, Mike Fagan, and Wes Malot!
2:49 on the middle row left is that Scott the engineer from Howard Stern?
Yes. 😂 I saw him too. He loves bowling.
If Pete Weber only won five titles, but they were all US OPEN TITLES, he would still be a HALL OF FAMER! Great video!
I still love Pete weber I got to bowl with him
It looks like bowling is one of those sports where if you're not first, you're last.
It's so funny, I used to bowl in a triples scratch against Pete and his wife. People just would give him shit all the time, in a joking way of course. But it was funny to see him so quiet and personable and nice to talk to from what I saw on TV before I went to college down in St. Louis.
Loooool his wife almost filed for divorce after he yelled that shit!!!! Lool
Scott the engineer in the background from stern show
Love the perspective from PDW
My bowling coach played Ping Pong with Pete at a hotel where a PBA tournament was happening.
Michaels got the wild hairdo today, what a great competitor doesn’t really care.😂😂😂😂 that killed me pete is my idol
Who does Pete think he is? I AM !
Love PDW! is Michael Fagan still bowling on tour? Love PDW giving kudos to Mike Fagan..that's class!
David Talkington heard that he quit tour for education
2 different types on people in this comment section: those who don’t watch bowling and think Pete is a dick(I swear no pun intended) and the people who do watch bowling and just know this is how Pete is and is respected among pro bowlers.
Is that a golf glove he wears? I've seen it in multiple tournaments..just wondering because for me that would feel so weird on a bowling ball.
7:16 "You know... it's been 5 years since I've seen this..."
*has watched it weekly for the last 5 years
Where do you get tickets for this?!
Pete pured that last shot as only he can!
this was great
Btw Pete Weber’s my all time favorite then there’s Jesper Svensson and Tom Smallwood who alternate 2 and 3rd favorites
3:30 that's a Storm Frantic
Love bowling video
What's that green and orange ball PDW's using?
Anyone know what gloves he’s using and where to get one? That white leather is fire.
Bowling is in my family blood and I have memories with many past family members! To have an opportunity to watch any pro bowlers in competition; especially the great Pete Weber, and to be a dick and root against him is wrong! What has happened to respect and manners these days! Also, I really appreciate being to watch these videos because I always find something which will help my game.
No single-hander will ever be as great as PDW ever again. The real GOAT.
He definitely intimidates every bowler. He’s the best
except Walter Ray lol
Or Norm Duke.
Am sure is but his attitude is all wrong 😠
he weighs nothing. There is no way a larger bowler is intimidated
Definitely not.
