As many of you know, I am one of the biggest fans of the PBR (Professional Bull Riders, not the beverage). Jake and I have been to the World Finals in Vegas and to Vegas last May for one of their events at Mandalay Bay. Needless to say, if they're in Phoenix or close by, I'm at the arena for all events. I love it and it is truly my guilty pleasure. Fingers crossed that the hockey schedule allows us to go to the World Finals again this October in Vegas!

It's amazing to me what true athletes these bull riders are and what they go through for a mere 8 seconds in hopes to be the best in the world and to win millions. To ride an animal that is completely unpredictable is mind blowing to me and I am truly fascinated by the sport.

J.B. Mauney (for those of you not familiar with the sport, he won the World Finals title last year) won the two day event in Phoenix. He had three qualified rides (stayed on for 8 seconds per ride) but had some fierce competition from some of the younger guys and Canadians. Bushwacker (top ranked bull in the world) also made his final appearance as he will be retiring from the sport after this year.
