Buy Playboy for the Articles

July 15, 2008 by Mark Anthony

Yes, you can now say you bought it for the articles and mean it!!

“It” being Playboy.  That magazine of adolescent boys dreams has a short two page spread on the PBR.  You will love their PBR definitions

==========

The average American does not have a reason to don country fashions every day like Professional Bull Riders (PBR) Guilherme Marchi (Leme, SP, Brazil) and J.B. Mauney (Mooresville, N.C.), but that doesn’t mean they can’t look cowboy-cool in a sports coat with jeans. In Playboy magazine’s August issue (on newsstands and at http://www.playboydigital.com/ Friday, July 18) Fashion Director Joseph DeAcetis dresses Marchi and Mauney in jackets by Haspel ($525) and Isaia ($3,995) paired with their PBR jeans by Wrangler ($40) in the fashion pictorial dubbed “Cowboy Up”.

Marchi has been the runner-up to the PBR World Champion the last three years. He is currently sitting #1 in the PBR’s Built Ford Tough Series presented by Wrangler (BFTS) standings and has won three event titles so far in 2008. Fan favorite Mauney was the 2006 PBR Daisy Rookie of the Year and has won almost $900,000 after riding professional for only three short years. The 21-year-old is currently sitting #4 in the 2008 BFTS standings.

2008 PBR Team Shootout Teams Announced!

July 8, 2008 by Mark Anthony

PUEBLO, Colo. (July 8, 2008) – The teams for the PBR Team Shootout were confirmed on the exclusive PBR Primetime Radio show which aired tonight, Tuesday, July 8. The first two riders to make their selection came as no surprise as Sean Willingham (Summerville, Ga.) chose two-time and reigning PBR World Champion Justin McBride (Elk City, Okla.) and 2004 World Champion Mike Lee (Decatur, Texas) decided close friend, Wiley Petersen (Fort Hall, Idaho), would be the perfect teammate. After those two choices, it was anybody’s guess on who would make up the remaining eighteen teams.

One team that will no doubt be a fan favorite is captained by PBR veteran Ross Coleman (Molalla, Ore.) who selected Matt Bohon (Cole Camp, Mo.) as his Shootout partner. “I’ll go with Matt Bohon,” Coleman said. “He’s a stud, everybody knows him. Somebody said he’s winning Calgary right now…so I think he can make a come back.”

The only thing that was clear at the end of the show was that the PBR Team Shootout will definitely be a family affair. Three-time World Champion and PBR legend Adriano Moraes (Cachoeira Paulista, SP, Brazil) picked his younger brother, Allan Moraes (Cachoeira Paulista, SP, Brazil) while current world no. 1 bull rider Guilherme Marchi, (Leme, SP, Brazil) chose his brother, Juliano Marchi (Barari, SP, Brazil); and a team of cousins was formed as L.J. Jenkins (Texico, N.M.) selected Austin Meier (Kinta, Okla.).

Country loyalties were observed as 2008 World Cup Australian teammates, Brendon Clark (Morpeth, AUS) and Jared Farley (Kempsey, AUS) paired up, and Brazilians Renato Nunes (Buritama, SP, Brazil) and Sinovaldo Correia (Lobato, Parana, Brazil) will be competing for the winner-take-all purse. A home state alliance was also created as bull riders, 2000 & 2003 PBR World Champion Chris Shivers (Jonesville, La.) teamed up with Nick Landreneau (Sulphur, La.) to try and take the championship money back home to Louisiana.

The final team formed was captained by Nebraska bull rider and 2004 PRCA Bull Riding World Champion Dustin Elliott (North Platte, Neb.) who chose PBR card holder and 2007 PRCA World Champion Wesley Silcox (Santaquin, Utah). “I called Wes Silcox, another former PRCA world champ, and he and I are going to team up. He’s kinda going on the same route as me. He’s accomplished his goals in the PRCA and now he’s moving towards the PBR and is going to take it by storm.”

Each team will compete at two of the following stops: Del Mar, Calif., Pose Robles, Calif., Molalla, Ore., or Guthrie, Okla., with the top ten teams from the first four events competing at the Finals in Pueblo, Colo., which will be aired Sunday, September 14, 2008 at 3:00 p.m. EST. The team that wins the 2008 PBR Team Shootout title will take home the entire championship purse and bragging rights for a year!
