My Bulls Are Better Than Yours!

The 2008 regular season has come to a close, but the stock contractors of the Professional Bull Riders Inc. (PBR) are hard at work preparing for the 2008 PBR World Finals Bull Team Challenge. Twenty-two teams were formed, each providing $50,000 for the opportunity to win their share of the $1.1 million total competition purse through the 2008 season. With over half a million dollars up for grabs at the World Finals, 13 teams will be competing for their share of the prize money, but most importantly will be the bragging rights of the “put up or shut up” challenge.

McBride retires at 29

Can you Believe it?? When most folks are just settling into their careers, two time world champion Justin Mcbride is calling it quits… Not that he doesn’t deserve it.

As he stated in the press conference that he has achieved and exceeded his goals and that it’s time to move on to another part of his life. He is proud of his records and is anxious to see what ones will stand the test of time.

Justin came into the sport at its infancy. Being that he has been riding professionally for 10 years and the PBR is celebrating its 15th anniversary. He has seen the dramatic changes and glad to have been part of them. He is looking forward to being an ambassador of sorts for the sport. Helping the new generation coming into it and exposing the sport to new fans the world over.

He said the reason he made the announcement a week prior to the start of the World Finals, is to put the subject to rest now so everyone can concentrate on the Finals and not on the fact that this will be his last time competing for that title.

For you newcomers to the sport, you get used to that politeness. Putting the focus on the sport rather than the person. This sport breeds competition and sportsmanship while it lacks ego. Justin will make a great ambassador.
