"Shaun Phillips bowls like a linebacker. He is reckless abandon in rented shoes, a guy who grabs the first ball he finds and commences firing without so much as a practice frame. The 13-pound "Xtreme Smart Ball" he selects looks like the runner-up in a knife fight. Its color, according to the catalog, is "lemon," but it has lived the hard life of a house ball, acquiring scuffs and shedding chips in strenuous service to Poway Fun Bowl. Phillips figures a house ball trims 40 points from his score, but his own ball was unavailable Wednesday afternoon and his competitive spirit was keen. "Keeps the playing field even," the Chargers' outside linebacker said. "With this (house ball), I'll probably bowl 160. With my own ball, 200." Phillips has agreed to demonstrate his kegling prowess to help promote tonight's bowling benefit at the East Village Tavern and Bowl. The event benefits the After-School All-Stars, a nonprofit program that brings afternoon structure to 15 local elementary and middle schools." http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/may/06/a-roll-down-memory-lane-chargers/
