I agree-funny they would do an article on rodeo. I guess you could say the ERA is drawing more publicity for rodeo

I can't imagine regular New York Times readers would care one thing about rodeo, but I could be wrong. I base my opinion on all the people I know in Oklahoma of all places who don't give one flip about rodeo.

I still don't know how I feel about it but at least I understand it better.

I wonder who managed to get that done. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/11/sports/elite-rodeo-athletes-pro-rodeo-cowboys-association.html?_r=0 I'm not totally surprised -- figured they may have had this planned to coincide with the NFR and the timing of the December 29th hearing. ERA's attorneys have a New York office with one of them having it as his primary office. I'm sure they have friends at the Times like most bigger firms do (or at least contacts to get them in).

Hungarian Midget Woman Location: Midwest	The NY Times does special interest pieces like this from time to time. They do a few stories on horses every year... this one always stuck in my memory! http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/28/us/ponys-death-draws-notice-to-drugs-in-show-ring.html?_r=0

Fun guy to be around. He was flamboyant in the arena (some would maybe say arrogant) before too many ever were. He blew kisses to the crowd, waved, threw his hat, and wore bright colored shirts when others weren't. He got the crowd wound up. He didn't lack for confidence.

He was a true showman. Flamboyant is certainly the most accurate term for his rodeo career. I didn't meet him until years later when he was in the car business in Arizona. Really fun guy to be around. Edited by TXBO 2015-12-12 1:45 PM

Saint Stacey	I remember when he was traveling with Lane Frost and Tuff Hedemen. Now there was a trio, lol! Prior to Bobby, Casey Tibbs was the flamboyant guy in rodeo.

10D Crack Champion	I wonder how well they are all getting along out there. Are the PRCA people and the ERA contestants working together with no conflicts?
