Location: Oklahoma City OK | Hmmm- seems I heard Joe and Suzanne talk about Barrel Racing in the pre-show - but I'm getting mixed up whether I'm watching a pre-recorded perf or the current one...sleep deprived. Love Joe Beaver and he has sensible commentary re: all the events he covers. I would like to hear more definition about the rule infractions that cause no times...esp. in the roping events. Love that Jeff Medders made up his own word about strategy - I think I heard STRATEGERY or something like that. Love their mostly good ol boy commentary though I started counting the number of times I heard ABSOLUTELY from, I think, Steven Peebles. Come up with another word please. I can't say I miss Donnie Gay's whiny twang - his voice is like fingernails on a chalk board to me, though his commentary was always colorful. I'm grateful for the coverage!!

Location: MN | I have to say....I do miss Don Gay. It isnt the same without him there. He gave so much back story about the bulls/rider and what not. Yes - he's goofy but he made you chuckle at least  |

| Am I the only one that enjoys watching on TV better than in person? For some reason I don't like the annoucers very much at the NFR. Ive been to circuit rodeos where the annoucers hyped up the audience more. The ones at the NFR seem kind of monotoned and just not as lively. Just my opinion. I enjoy it better listening to Butch and the Bev.

Totally agree about more explanation for the infractions---I got a touch confused about Shane's no time in the tie down the other night til someone finally said he had backed up after riding forward to keep the calf from getting up. I believe that's what they said anyway! I may still be confused  |

I don't care for the announcers here at the T&M but I hate missing so much action on TV. The grand entry is cool. And my favorite part if watching the calf roping and steer wrestling is really watching the horse. The TV camera guys zoom in on the tie so much you can't see the horse work at all. And I love watching the steer wrestling horse do their antics. Only downfall to being here live is you don't get a good view of the barrel horses in the alley. |

Now I realize Steven Peebles is saying absolutely a lot!

Location: Southeast Louisiana | I used the wrong term. I haven’t actually been watching the preview show or pre-show, I saw tonight that it’s a different show that comes on right before the NFR coverage. I was talking about the actual broadcast, where they talk about each event. They were skipping over barrels. Finally mentioned it tonight, but it was in reference to the Top Gun award, since the top two right now are barrel racers. |

Location: Northeast SD | Some of the shots the camera operators are taking like zooming in on the tie and not showing the horse stopping in calf roping is due to them not wanting to show the calf possibly being jerked back etc. due to PETA issues and all that. |

Location: TN | The ProRodeoLive commentary with Jolee Lauteret (sp) is great in my opinion. She is very knowledgable about the contestants and their horses giving a little background information on each during the runs when she can. I haven't heard her say anything even remotely negative about them or the horses other than "he shouldered, shut down, etc.". She's been giving lots of praise to Tammy for helping Taci, and really sounds disappointed for Kelly when her horse runs up the fence. She does a great job with the other events as well. Wish they had her as one of the tv announcers. |
