This week’s episode of PBA:39X60 features 2008-2009 PBA Player of the Year Wes Malott, who, despite finishing in the top 5 in just about every statistical category this past season, has said it was a “very disappointing year.”

Had Wes gotten a few breaks on TV (and during the position rounds in the Pepsi Red, White and Blue Open presented by USBC and the PBA Tournament of Champions…he just missed both of those telecasts), he very well could have repeated as PoY.

But leave it to Wes not to get his breeches all twisted in a wad about it. Heck, I even caught him yawning during one of his matches during the USBC Masters when he was about 100 up on Dave Wodka at the end of game 2.

As this week’s interview with Mike J. Laneside will attest, Wes off the lanes is more of a Big Softy than a Big Nasty…enjoying his time home in Texas with his wife and two sons and just being an all-around good guy to hang with.

You can watch the entire interview on Xtra Frame, plus the latest edition of The Bowling Show with P.B. Atkinson and another tip with The Most Important Chair in Bowling in which yours truly makes a special guest appearance.

So get ready for your holiday weekend with some PBA:39X60 today, and then come back Monday for LIVE Xtra Frame coverage of the finals of the PBA Regional Players Championship from Thunderbowl Lanes in Allen Park, Michigan.
