BULLS-PBR

BY JOHN MASTALIR jmastalir@yahoo.com

Professional Bull Riders finals 10 days in November at the Thomas and Mack Center, Las Vegas.

What a first class deal this is.....starts on time....lots of horns and whistles....the worlds best cowboys trying to ride the worlds best bulls for 8 seconds ! Why would anybody want to do that ? The dancers last night were big....the cowboys (bullriders) small all 5-9ish and 169 pounds....don't know what this means but I do know this is 8 (or less) seconds of hellish excitement and danger.

This goes here in December prior to the National Finals Rodeo but not like this....this is all bulls, no bullshit.....terrifically organized with sponsers, production and great entertainment. Friday night it was bulls 14 cowboys 2 when I left for the ballet....imagine Ballet and Bulls on the same night !

Big production pre game to this and so well done....lots of noise here like everywhere and the T & M audio could be better....along with the announcing....I like play by play for events I need history on....not hollering.....what ever happened to Jack Buck and Red Barber ?

Class crowd....thousands go.....three days more....I want more !

A+ 100
