SEEING OTHER PEOPLE: EDSBS GOES TO THE PBR
We swear this isn’t mission creep. Or infidelity, really. You see, college football, you’re just not around enough to fulfill all of our needs. Really, how do you expect us to sit here, like some kind of wireless-addicted Penelope, awaiting your return with bated breath without getting any on the side? While you’re off practicing, wooing 18 year olds with lurid promises, and gallivating around fundraising and doing everything BUT putting on football games for our viewing pleasure?
Who do you think we are? Chris Berman’s wife?
It’s time we made an arrangement. From time to time, we’ll see other people. We won’t be all downlow about it, but we won’t be asking them to move in with the two of us. And we’ll also promise this: we’ll have had to see the whole thing in person, since we’re hands-on like that.
We’re calling it Seeing Other People, and this week our first “healthy diversion” comes to us from a sport no one in their right mind could miss seeing at least once: Professional Bull Riding. We covered the event for Professional Bull Riding Monthly. As improbable as the notion of actually climbing onto the back of a one-ton bull seems on television, it’s infinitely more hackbrained when you see it happening right in front of you in the chutes.
That guy’s about the size of Regis Phibin, just to make the whole endeavor look twice as cracked ballsy as it seemed before you knew that.
Since we’re busy with unavoidable real-life stuff today, please take the following pics as our apologies. Be back on Tuesday AM. (more…)
