i dont follow PBR, but are you talking about bulls?
Yes mam---Big Dutch was an awesome bull that sustained a leg injury Saturday and had to be put down that night. Pearl Harbor was leading the race for bull of the year, and Chad Berger (his owner) noticed either late last week or over the weekend that he was holding his neck funny. I believe it was diagnosed as a neck strain, but he died Tuesday from a blood clot near his brain. I love the bulls, and Pearl was my favorite. . . I was so upset when I read about it tonight, I cried. To lose those two great athletes in one week is unthinkable. Sean and I would sit each telecast talking about "my" bull (Pearl) vs "his" bull (Bruiser) because they were like .25 points difference in the champion bull race. Maybe it's weird being so emotional but I feel like I know them from being at the events live or watching them every weekend on tv. Truly they were both special animals. . . |

Location: Kansas | I have always followed and loved the PBR......until the imbalance of Brazilian bull riders over American bull riders The Brazilians are incredibly hard on these great bulls and aren't happy until they've agitated them to death in the chutes to take the fight out of them. Remember Stone Sober and Air Time. They are only a memory. I don't know how the stock contractors keep from strangling these Brazilians who just keep coming.
I didn't know about Pearl Harbor. That breaks my heart. What a great bull. |

Location: High heels in the air... | Frodo, Brazilian riders have nothing to do with hurting bulls...they are rules for all riders hence the chute timer and Spurs and ropes that are measured to a standard. The ground in front of the chutes has a tendency to get hard and fast thus injuring more bulls and riders. Air Time was retired early because of his high leaps and size landing on that ground. Stock contractors do not hate Brazilians. You are only as good as your competition. I am sorry you hate my Brazilian family... |

No its not weird at all to be emotional about these bulls you love watching, we all have something we are emotional about.. I dont like watching horse racing because I get so upset seeing a horse break down on the track, it dont happen very offten but I have seen a few so cant watch anymore.. |

In the past we went to Oaklawn to the races every year. And every year at least one horse broke down each day we were there. The last time we went two horses broke down in the backstretch right in front of us in one race, and I told my friends I just couldn't keep going. I loved watching them but it just hurt my heart to see it. |

As a contractor we hate when most of the Brazilians get our bulls
How funny that one if the best contractors Chad Berger, is such good friends with a lot of the Brazilians, maybe it's just that people from up north don't stick their nose quite as far up in the air as some of those from the south! I get so sick of listening to people cuss the Brazilians. I'm a fan of bull RIDING, so love a great ride, no matter who makes it! |

I doubt the contractors have much choice but to accept Brazilian bull riders if they want to make a living hauling their bulls to PBR events. Why do you think, by the way, the use of the timer clock came about. I've heard these bulls bellowing in misery in the chutes while Silvano and Marchi purposely wait for the clock to come up and then wind down to one second before they call for the gate. It was the only way they could ride Stone Sober. Instead of bucking he hobby horsed around in circles.....that way they got their reride. |

That's my question---why do so many of them take SO long in the chute? Is it to wear the bulls down? It sure as crap irritates them. It's like the same ones make a practice of it weekly. And a few of them get disqualified because they don't even get out before the clock runs down. I don't get it. We saw one of the Brazilians (in LR) just get off when the clock got down to around 5 seconds. Another one (can't remember for the life of me which one) got mad and as the clock ran down he raked the bull across the head with his spur and stormed off. THAT didn't make it to the telecast, imagine. . . . |

It's a method and all the announcers from time to time make reference to it as does Shorty Gorham. Why sit there and aggravate when the bull is standing like a statue. I have an idea why these Brazilians are invading the PBR but that's a whole new subject. When I saw the standings for PBR yesterday evening and saw all the Brazilian flags I changed channels.  |

| Fabiano rode our bull this weekend to win the short go didn’t have a problem with him. Cheered him on. Again it’s not all but their are some the try to get an advantage over the bull by taking so long in the chute or having 3 guys pulling the rope. Our chiropractor knows when we have certain Brazilian riders on our bull without even telling her.

Justin will quite often say "I don't know what more he wants from the bull". . . . And Shorty said something about it on this weekend's show also. |

Maybe go to Brazil or Mexico and witness the struggles of a people trying to better their lives, be it soccer or bull riding or some other sport. The American dream is real and I support those dreams. Many of the guys love America so much, they have become permanent residents.
The guys respect/love the bulls and the sport. They train 2-4 hours a day, rope, ride, their work ethic is beyond comparison. Many hold jobs. They pay taxes and don't commit crimes. When I go to Brazil, there are 20-30 more great riders wanting to come to America...

I have never heard a stock contractor say, "jee wiz, do I hope to draw a Brazillian who will soak my bull in the box until they're too worn out to buck to their full potential!" Hence, why the PBR has the timer now. The Brazillians have never had a good name with the stock contractors. And I'm not from the south  I don't think anyone has anything against them personally, just their riding style, I guess you would say. |

OMG  People don't dislike the Brazilians because they are from Brazil... the contractors don't like them because of how they treat the bulls. Pulling your rope as tight as you can and tying it off while the bull is still in the alley, and then pulling it tighter and sitting in the box as long as possible squeezing the air out of the thing is something I think everyone can agree on is ridiculous. |

Thank you so much. . . . Like I said, I just feel quite a connection with these bulls. And Pearl was special to me. With his white face and socks, I just loved him. And we watched Big Dutch win LR last year. I felt so sorry for Mr Berger when the camera panned to him in Columbus--you could see how sad he was. It has to be comparable to walking past an empty stall of one of your horses when he walks past Pearl's empty lot. . . . |

Very patriotic. You should lobby a new name for PBR. Pro Brazilian Bull Riders. PBBR. You don't think many young American bull riders come from poor backgrounds and work hard to be good at what they do?

Even when asked nicely .... you just don't give up do you ???
Regarding the loss of those two great bulls, it is a sad day for the owners AND the cowboys that were lucky enough to get to ride them. They have a lot of time and money invested in those animals! |

Location: west of East Texas | I am right now watching PBR recorded on my brother's TV. Can't say I've ever watched it before. So, ignorance here, but... why is desirable to have so many bulls that are ridden so few times? I'm guessing that the level of skill in the bullriders has greatly increased, not just the bull's skill. Why wouldn't it be kind of more balanced in favor of having bulls that could actually get covered and the fans actually see a score? I'm not saying 100% rideable but more than what I am seeing in this episode? |

Location: Kansas | chasendacash - 2018-05-03 11:24 PM I am right now watching PBR recorded on my brother's TV. Can't say I've ever watched it before. So, ignorance here, but... why is desirable to have so many bulls that are ridden so few times? I'm guessing that the level of skill in the bullriders has greatly increased, not just the bull's skill. Why wouldn't it be kind of more balanced in favor of having bulls that could actually get covered and the fans actually see a score? I'm not saying 100% rideable but more than what I am seeing in this episode?
There are a lot of monetary incentives for the higher caliber bulls in the PBR. You'll find those more rider friendly bulls in the PRCA. I wonder too if PBR spectators aren't just as much intrigued with the bulls (the badder the better) as they are their favorite bull riders. Bulls like the retired Bushwhacker and Pearl Harbor were like movie stars.  |

Cody Lambert compared Pearl to Bushwhacker when he passed away. Said he didn't have to win a world championship to prove what a champion he was (something along those lines I think). Those old school bulls were amazing. Much different styles than the current bulls. But then one of today's bulls will come out of the chute with a belly roll and it's reminiscent of those old greats! I love old and new! I have to admit I'm probably guilty of what Frodo said---I may be more of a bull fan than a true bull rider fan. . . . . Not to say I don't appreciate Jess, Derek, JB, Cody, Chase, etc tho!!!! |

And yeah Bodacious was awesome. I thought we'd see some of his babies wow bullriding but I don't think there were any.

I do remember Mickey Mouse; Chandler used to have the figurines of all the older bulls. There were some legends that sure are missed. I don't usually know which of the younger bulls belong to which daddy bull (!!) unless their name reflects the connection. (I did hear Cody Lambert say that he has high hopes for Sky Harbor, one of Pearl Harbor's sons.) I wish I knew more of "baby daddy" info as I'm watching these younger bulls!!! |
