Warning: Video contains coarse language
After more than four decades on the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) Tour, Pete Weber is calling it a career.
The 58-year-old bowling legend announced his retirement from the PBA Tour on Wednesday following the 2021 PBA Scorpion Championship. He plans to continue competing on the PBA50 Tour and PBA Regional Tour.
"It's hard to grasp that I'm done on the National Tour," Weber told his fellow competitors after being eliminated, according to Jef Goodger of PBA.com. "In 41 years out here, it's been awesome. I can still hit the pocket with you guys, but I can't strike like you guys. It's been an honor and a privilege to bowl each and every one of you out here."

Weber made sure to go out with a bang, dropping an F-bomb and recounting his memorable "Who do you think you are? I am!" speech in an interview with FS1.
