2009 PBR Season
Late last year I got hooked on the Professional Bull Riders Series. This year I have watched all of the rodeos so far. The majority of the rodeos are on Versus but sometimes they air on NBC. I hope to get to be able to attend some rodeos in the near future. The cowboys that do this for a living are crazy and they sustain a lot of injuries. Last week Brian Herman broke his ankle when he was bucked off a bull. A couple of weeks ago Ednei Caminhas broke his collarbone when a bull stepped on him. These guys also get a lot of concussions and suffer broken bones quite frequently. I’ve seen the bulls go after the cowboys and stomp all over them after they’ve been bucked off. These guys get paid well for only having to stay on a bull for eight (8) seconds but boy do their bodies take a lot of punishment. I also love the bull fighters. They are always there to help when a cowboy gets bucked off and the bull is trying to go after the cowboy they are there to take a lot of the shots that are met for the cowboy. They also distract the bull when the cowboys get bucked off so that the cowboy can get away. Some of favorite cowboys are: JB Mauney who is currently leading the standings. A couple a weeks ago he rode Bones and won $20,000 just for riding one bull. Bones had never been ridden before. Bones was also voted bull of the year last year. The owner of the bull put up $20,000 because he didn’t think the bull could be ridden. I also like Chris Shivers, Wiley Petersen, Ryan Dirteater, and Brendon Clark. My favorite bulls are Chicken on a Chain which is partially owned by Larry the Cable Guy. He also owns a couple of other bulls. I also like Bones, Copperhead Slinger, and Troubadour.
