Location: Paradise , tx | I think that Cole should be honored for telling the truth, and those that were dishonest are the ones that should be on everyones black list, but the way society is now a days, what is good is bad, and what is bad is good. SMH

They said that payment was stopped on the check so are they suing for the money and prizes that Tuf Cooper received? Was their any type of official charges filed against them for breaking any laws? Since there was no gambling involved I'm not sure what else it could fall under.. And I would think that this maybe tough to prove unless they had some type of written agreement between them. Otherwise it would be one's word against the other right? I'm sure there is much more to this than being reported. It should be interesting to see it play out however it would be a shame for those involved to have their reputations blemished if it were untrue.. It is my understanding that RFD does have the testimony of at least one other roper who was asked to participate in the scheme and declined. I just read an article that named the person they approached and declined. He's from Oklahoma, can't remember his name off the top of my head. Hats off to him for having the integrity to say no and let RFD know what was going on. Cole Bailey
You think someone can rat out the super looper's baby boy and return to his social circle on the rodeo circuit like nothing ever happened?
I agree....Cole is not some Little calf roper from the sticks....apparently most of you have not met his dad. Cole lost his mom at a very young age. This guy has always been so respectful and he was raised with some morals and class! I have been around the baileys for years. I was a HUGE fan of Tuff! Thought he was such a good honest young man.....always took his hat off and said a prayer and pointed to the heavens.....made my heart so full that he would thank the Lord....now it makes my heart sad that he would cheat, and sit on that horse, and give thanks to God! I am sorry if I offended anyone but this is just horrible! Kuddos to Cole....he is a class act!

| No need to worry about Cole. Just Google Bailey Okmulgee, OK. You will find car dealerships, former/present attorneys, multiple property owners, & rodeo cowboys. Many a NFR contestant has purchased a new truck from Cole's dad. Cole has a far and wide support system I am sure. I am glad he didn't participate in this deal. I would be offended that those two ropers would think or infer the only way I could win would be for them to rope poorly. That is just rude and arrogant. Cole can rope and rope well. On any given day those other two can be beat. If all that has been reported is true, then good for Cole for speaking up!! When something or someone is dishonest, people should say something. Good for him!

| All of this just goes to show that people aren't always what they seem and that just because a person is winning doesn't make them the greatest person ever no matter what they want you to think. |

Location: Where I am happiest | I have lost alot of respect for these 2. I hope it effects their sponsorships, and I hope they are banned from EVER competing at The American again! Very sad they had to take a great venue, the biggest opportunity for the sport of rodeo and cast such a shadow of doubt on the sport of rodeo. My hat is off to Cole Bailey and how cool would it be if RFD-TV gave him a large sum of reward money for being honest and coming forward. |

I believe he had some A-Rod style advantages in his day and wasn't all that bashful about discussing it.

Location: Oklahoma | Cole didn't snitch. He refused to participate, but never said anything. Anyone that was by the roping chutes heard the deal go down. It wasn't just a conversation limited to the 4 in the finals.  |

This was in the Fox article ...... Considered a "Snitch" or not....kudos to Cole for being honest!
Gregory Shamoun, said by phone that Cole Bailey refused to participate in the scheme and later brought it to the attention of RFD-TV |

Well if you are talking about me, I never called anyone a liar just said it was all hear say. Lots of judges on here. I for one think it's a sad day for our sport. On the other hand hopefully these young men learned a lesson. Last time this was posted someone said something about one of the accused should have the cross ripped off his shirt. As a Christian I believe he needs faith more than anything now and forgiveness for what he has done. Everyone makes mistakes. Although it still sounds like hear say and not sure what a court will do with that. Time will tell. |

Location: MS | I traveled from MS to the Baileys dealership three years ago to buy my truck. Cole did my paperwork and it was a pleasure to work with such nice down to earth people. So many young ropers looked up to the guys involved it definitely gives people a sour taste. |
