Living The Dream: Professional Pinball Player

Wow....

Pinball Wizard...

sweeet. im gonna do that when i retire


and, DAMN!! THAT DUDE GAIN SOME WEIGHT!!!!

He's a pinball wizard. Sure plays a mean pinball.

ZOMG DUDE IS FROM WINNIPEG TOO <3

holy crap he lives in an arcade

Wonder how his eyes are doing these days.  That tall with lame feet, better keep both eyes on the ball while they're still sticking.

I want to be a pinball wizard when I grow up.

Professional Pinball...? That exists? Cool!

lol

WHOA!  WHOOOOOA!!!

"Pinball Wizard..."

I've never liked pinball...

That's pretty awesome.

...sluuuuurrrrppp.... Mmm, yes, Canadian slurpees are the greatest.
That's one thing that's going to annoy me living in Japan.  I absolutely have to order my own slurpee machine.

Wicked vid, thanks GB/ESPN.  (I don't see what the CSI tag is about, though.  I think we need a wiki entry for Fireball Pinball now.)

Dude has a slurpee machine in his house.  He has arrived.

dude drinks slurpees from a glass. BAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNN

Great to see he's doing what he loves and obviously having some success at it, but dude, put some of that hard earned cash toward a little workout time!

i want that to be my future

He was great at UW, a shame about the genetic disorder.  Glad he found something he loves though.

Look at what pinball does to you, must be very taxing and stressful.

SHO PLAYS A MEAN PINBALL indeed.

We don't get basketball in the UK and I've never been into sports, but dude seems pretty cool. It's pretty nice he's doing something he enjoys just as much.

This guy is way too into pinball.

He's playing a CSI pinball game?! AWESOME!

I'm pretty sure he's Jeff's evil pinball twin. Or is Jeff the evil twin?

I love this interview because they took it seriosuly, at no point did I ever feel like they were snigering "pinball...big kid" or anything. 

I keep expecting Christopher Guest to come into shot.

Love how it's filed under CSI.

"Look at what pinball does to you, must be very taxing and stressful." - Nice.

My hero... Going from being some boring athlete to an 'awesome' wannabe nerd!  now THATS impressive. But iin all seriousness, this dude is pretty good. And yes, he needs to wok a bit more on keeping in shape. For a pro-athlete he's shockingly out of it.

I was wondering how he got so fat, that is until I saw the slurpee machine.

I definitely see a little Jeff in this guy's fire. This was a surprisingly well done piece. My only question is, how is a US slush different than in Canada?

Dude lives in an arcade and owns a Slurpee machine...now THAT'S what I call relaxing at home.

That's how you live it up, you don't need a NBA championship if you got 35 million and a hobby you love and a slurpee machine.

Be cool if that was open to the public >.> *ferries over and sneaks in*

damn what's with all that weight, guess he can't train anymore because of his foot problems

thats exactly the kind of thing i would do if i had 35 million dollars and no work to do. 

Somehow he talks and sounds like Jeff, but taller... alot taller.

Ahh man, I wish I could play pinball all day. Ah wait... no, not really. Anyway good to see he's enjoying his life. :)

I would like to see this story in full documentary movie King of Kong style. The man just needs a nemesis now.

TILTTILTTILTTILTTILTTILTTILTTILTTILTTILTTILTTILTTILT

dude what?

Can't wait to see what he's up to in 10 years.

Oh, right.  He'll be dead in 3.

There's a reason you don't see many obese 7 foot tall 40-year-olds.

RIP Porky!

Dude should try a stool or something. :/

dude, that's awesome.  I hope I can get rich and have enough money to retire and do this shit.

Professional pinball... sounds pretty cool.
