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👍❤️🙏👍👍👍👍

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!!

This was one of the craziest endings since Belmonte's two 7-10s to lose to Simonsen in a major.

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.

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

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

That last 4 frames was absolutely bananas. I think it is probably safe to say we won't see an ending like THIS again.

Wow that ending was wild. The pressure got to the pros in the end....wow

I met Norm Duke and had dinner with him at a Bowl Expo around 2008. What a GREAT Guy!

The match was over so it didn’t matter, but Wes could nearly have opened the 10th with a pocket 7-10. Crazy game.

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

This has to be the greatest match in bowling history!

i’ve never seen something more this sport needed than this

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.

I was cutting onions when Norm threw that last shot. And what a class act the whole Portland team was, especially Wes and Tim...

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.

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.

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

Isn’t this kind of crowd atmosphere way more fun than having them be golf course/tennis court quiet?

Honestly the craziest ending since Del Ballard guttered against Pete Weber

My two favorites of all time: Wes and Norm. Wonderful ending for me. Thanks for posting this!

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!

Thank you Norm ❤

The best crowd and this bowling tournament was wild and insane 😳 👏!!

Legend in Norm retiring is very sad an amazing 40 years

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.

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! 👏🎳

28:19 Pretty much sums it up!😵‍💫

That ending was amazing.

Lesson of the day kids, make your spares. Never take a shot off. Every shot requires complete attention.

Norm Duke is a living legend, weber, pb3, wrwj absolute legends

What sportsmanship, duke is a legend of this sport and had an amazing career.

Thank you Norm Duuuuuuuuuke. You are an inspiration to me and so many. God bless you on the second chapter of your career.

That's the craziest ending in the PBA in a very, very, very long time!!

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.

Nothing could have prepared me for the ending. Absolutely ridiculous breaks for both teams.

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.

Can't wait to see the Brad and Kyle vlog on this given as how their cameraman was speechless at 28:25

Larga vida a la leyenda viviente Norm Duke 🙏

I was on the edge of my seat. Great match! UNBELIEVABLE ENDING!!

Emotional scenes... farewell norm, you're gonna be missed!

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

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

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.

Youve got to be kidding me! What a match!!

Like the format of alternating frames

That was crazy!!!!

Glad to have seen this live.

Theres no doubting that was fun to watch! How Bout Duke, G.O.A.T. status huge heart/ambassador for bowling!

24:45 this is where the craziness started. Rollercoaster of a game.

Congratulations Norm Duke!

Craziest finish I can remember since the title match at the 1986 King Louie Open!

that was absolutely crazy!

Norm Duke..You ARE THE MAN

This is so fun!

I was there LIVE it was beyond nuts

Norm duke is class personified

I'm sad that I won't see him bowling anymore, but congratulations on his wonderful retirement

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!

I didn't know Norm is Retiring I met him where I work years ago I believe in 2014 great guy great bowler

What an ending

it was alson let norm duke thru last ball of tourment thank evething your did for pba

Thank You Norm

"i think this is supposed to go to arturo" lmao

That was a crazy ending. I’m going to miss watching Norm.

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

Juegazo!!!!!

That ending was insane! I mean after they tied for 2 points, i was hoping that the Dallas Strikers would win, if Norm didn’t miss the split in the 1st frame, Santuu with the 2-10 split and Matt missing the 7 pin, man

I’m not crying, YOU’RE crying! 😢

Que final !!!!!!

OMG I'm sorry norm but this is why i love bowling.

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.

There will never be a bowling match like this again.

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!

How fitting Duke vs. his best bud and doubles partner Wes in the finals of Norms last pba league ride.
