Hey Guys! I was really excited to see the PBR on this weekend. I thought it was an awesome event. It seemed like there were more wrecks than normal. And you all know that I was on the edge of my seat when Ross got stomped on. Thank goodness he only broke a couple of ribs. It looked like it could have been much worse if that hoof had not missed his head by inches. As for Paulo, that cut above his eye looked awful and even though blood was running down the side of his face he still got up to dance. The rides were awesome last night. There were quite a few more 90+ rides than usual. That is always good to see. I was glad that Matt Bohon did so well. And congrats to Adriano for winning the event!! And what about that Tater Porter. He can on strong. Maybe he can keep it up.

I too felt like the televised event was a let down. I like the two or three day format a lot better. We have all waited so long for the PBR to return to tv and then when it does it is a "highlight" show? (in my opinion) You'd think they would want to get people excited about the PBR, especially this close to the finals. Maybe next time will be better, let's hope so. We have to wait until the 17th now to find out. Let's also hope they get it together before then and not have another "highlight" show! I want to see everybody on the televised events, every cowboy, every ride! Fingers crossed for the 17th televised event. Waiting patiently in OK for the next event! >:(

Unless it is a live event we will never see all the rides. Even at live events they have a hard time showing all the rides. I agree changes need to be made but do we really think that the pbr will change for us the fan.
I am seriously ready to BOYCOTT the pbr and there coverage on tv. It was not an enjoyable event to watch and like i have said it will only get worse.

First, let me say that I was very happy we had an event to watch this past weekend. I was goin through withdrawel! ;D However, I never really care for those 1-day events. There's no build-up to the excitement for me because its just one long round and then the short round. Also if a rider doesn't cover his bull in the long round, then he doesn't get another chance for that event. I guess we can be glad that the PBR doesn't have too many of those one-day events! I just KNEW Tater was gonna ride Dobber. I thought that was an ideal match-up. Way to go Tater! I just love that guy and am really glad to see him back and riding so well. Not being a huge fan of Adriano (ever since he broke his hand punching the arena sign!), I was a little disappointed to see him win the event, but I do gotta say that he rode the crap outa that short round bull!

Call me crazy, but I didn't see many problems with the telecast. I guess I just see the glass half full instead of half empty most of the time.
I was just thankful to see any PBR action. I mean, at least we get to see the event the same weekend it occurs, unlike any other bull riding action on TV.
The coverage wasn't great, but I honestly could care less as long as I get to see some good rides along the way.
I thought the bulls were really awesome overall, and I thought the riders stepped it up as well.
The only negative I have is not showing Allan Moraes in the short-go. He did place 4th in the event, so that deserves something I would think.
Other than that, I was happy to see the PBR on TV.
I think boycotting the PBR is pretty silly to be honest. What else are you going to watch? The PRCA XTreme Bulls 3 or 4 months after it happens?
Come on people, this is still the BEST bull riding coverage on TV, hands down! That's all I'm saying about this..

I will start going to more events Cody. As long as the ratings are down they will try to get back the people by bringing in the people that brought us fans to them. It took along time to get the following back that loved Donnie Gay, who i still think is the best in the buisness and could never be replaced thats why i watch the mesquite rodeo he is the best and i love it.
So please Cody dont be so ignorant to the fact that if you stop viewing that they will not make changes. They will and we all know that. Oh wait they probably won't they have a new sport called hockey and unless they change channels or make improvements i will not watch. I have had it with OLN and the pbr. The riders are great the bulls are great and the fans are great but I can get my fill watching espn months after the fact rather than watch the bull s h i t that they call tv now.
I am rather stubborn that way Cody I dont ride the fence and give stupid excuses for the bs that goes on.

It was one really bad event. I happen to know that the powers-that-be were not pleased with the telecast and phone calls started being made before it was over. Whether you want to believe it or not, the PBR does not have to the final say so on what the content is on a show. There was a new director there this weekend and the telecast sucked. The PBR made their displeasure known. Todd, you may not give excuses, but you sure don't try to find out all the facts before you start making rash judgements and decisions. For every one of you that decide to "boycott", there are 4 more new viewers that get hooked and will watch again. Enjoy ESPN while you can!

Todd, quit moaning and groaning over something so stupid. It's freakin TV for crying out loud. This isn't life or death.
I swear, the glass is always half empty from where you stand. I've never seen anyone gripe so much about dumb little things.
What are you going to do, travel to all the BFTS stops? That is funny stuff.
Calling me ignorant is pretty mature here as well. Seriously, I didn't take up for the coverage whatsoever in my post, I just said I was thankful to even see any PBR.
You should be thankful for what you get instead of constantly wanting more. It would never stop with you. If they showed all 45 long go rides and all 15 short go rides, you would find something to moan about.
Like I said, the coverage is still the best in the world for bull riding, and that's all that matters to me.
Maybe you are just a better fan than me Todd, but I highly doubt that by reading your posts..
And like pbrbigfan said, get all the facts straight before you start pointing the finger.
It sure seems like you are a happier person when the PBR is on break than when they are back in action. You have problems..

First off if you read my post in pbr on oln you would have seen that long before that pbr person said that they had a new director i had already known that the original director is working on the hockey side i said that, maybe communicate with your wife she replied to it. Secondly, i know the pbr has nothing to do with it ok but what i also know is that no i do not have to watch it on oln i can go to at least 5 events Kansa city, st louis, oklohoma city, and then challenger tour events all around me close to me so why worry about it. I go to bristol every year to watch the Sharpie 500 and i might watch 3 events a year on nascar so please dont say what i can and cant do.
I was not the only one, matter of fact i didn't say anything until they started and i just let themn know why, there were many more. I was the one that made the bigger deal about it. PBR on OLN will not be the same period. They have something bigger and better now and from here on out it will be Hockey Then PBR and what ever floats down to pbr will work the events ok that is a fact rather you like it or not.
Well if there were four new viewers on sunday night they are gone plus there friends also. so please dont test my chracter i am stating the truth it has been ongoing thing all year that is why McKee is gone,Sugar coat it all you want by saying he was in washington that was a lie too, they do not want to pay for a new contract he will finish out his contract and then be gone just like tuff ok i am a realist that does know a little more than you guys give me credit for.
Go look at my other post since pbrfan and cody are wanting to degrate me and you will see i said that all before you bandwaggoners decided to bash me. Maybe you should read everything then call me names and tell me i dont know what i am talking about.
Also Please tell me you did not compare OLN to ESPN you are an idiot if you think oln could ever compete with ESPN LM AO Now that is some funny S H I T right there. I guess there are some sharper knives in the drawer other than me LOL

Well i Loved the event because i was at it so it was great for me!!!i havn't seen it on TV yet but the whole event was great and very action packed and exciting i think better then when they came to colorado springs. i got to meet mike again so that was a plus. the only thing that wasn't as great was clay the clown was gone and the guy that filled in wasn't as good and barely did anything. alot of the bulls didn't want to leave the arena either and that was funny. Ross Colemen's reck was so scary i thought he was hit in the head and was so scared like i really was on the edge of my seat. paulo's reck was scary when he was running/ crawling away. the event was a very long one and it started at 8pm and didn't finish until 11:30 so that also might of been why they had to cut some of it out.

Since everything Todd speaks is the truth right? Haha!
And I would say degrating would be calling someone ignorant. And I'm pretty sure that was you that said that, not me.
Todd, your opinions aren't always the truth. You have a hard time understanding that for some reason.
Just leave it alone. You have said your piece, now move on to something else. I don't want 15 posts in here saying the same thing over and over. Just PM me if you have anything else degrating or non-degrating.
By the way, if you weren't so close-minded, you would see that pbrbigfan was referring to ESPN's coverage of the XTreme Bulls events and rodeo to OLN's coverage of the PBR.
Everyone knows ESPN is the more successful network, but not when it comes to bull riding/rodeo. That's what that statement was all about. So the egg is on your face there buddy... You always tell people to read your stuff before jumping to the wrong conclusions. Well, don't be a hypocrite and do the same..

ESPN's events are ran pretty well, but there arent enough of them. I heard it costs upwards of $300,000 to air events in ESPN, so I guess thats why the PRCA isnt broadcast more. Pueblo sucked. I love the 1 day shows because it gives guys an opportunity to make more money even if they didnt draw a 22 pointer. A guy can get in on an 84 point ride in the long go and cut a nice check, even win if he rides in the short go.
pbrbigfan, you have a connection to the PBR, but what is it? Send me a PM.

CSB is right. What most people don't realize is that PBR and PRCA have to pay for television coverage, just like the infomercial people. Why do you think NBC has no qualms about cutting off telecasts in the middle of the short round. PBR bought a certain amount of time and that's all they get.
