He hasn't gained any weight back and he's just not physically fit to make a big push at Finals this year. I hope he rests up, has a great break and comes back with more muscle tone. And oh yeah, a HELMET.<BR/><BR/>I kind of feel the same way about Herman. Ross Coleman is okay in my book because he took up the helmet this year and it seems like it hasn't bothered his riding one bit. I do think he's got one more year, but after that he's done. And now that Ednei has made the Finals, maybe he'll go ahead and retire? Here's hoping, because he's still in good shape and was so enthusiastic about his plans post retirement. <BR/><BR/>Mike Lee's concussions worry me most of all. His speech patterns already remind me of Muhammad Ali, and I don't need to tell anybody what kind of shape that gentleman is in (do I?) He's won a World Championship, provided for his family and can still do so if he leaves the sport now. If he suffers another concussion, can he say the same thing? I fear not.<BR/><BR/>So you can conclude from what I'm said above that I'm a HUGE advocate of helmets for all the riders. I've read all the arguements about why they shouldn't be mandatory and I just don't buy a word of it. Sure it messes with the cowboy image. Doesn't lying on the ground unconcious mess with the cowboy image, too? Do some riders claim that they can't make the adjustment and I can't possibly understand that because I've never ridden a bull? Yeah, but sorry, I don't believe that someone who rides bulls for a living, with the kind of balance and core control that they're supposed to have, can't make that kind of adjustment. Give Doc Tandy of the famously fine butt the leverage he needs, and some of these riders may solidly enjoy their health--and their families-- a lot longer. <BR/><BR/>With that said on my soapbox, viva the bulls and bring on Vegas.

Helmet or no, he's been hit in the head so many times that (as I've said to Shannon on many an occasion) someone should break both his legs in multiple places. As for Ross? Meh. I can take or leave him. <BR/> Tantrums? Agreed again. I understand that they feel pretty strongly about making the ride or not. But there's defiently something to be said for grace under pressure. Also? Someone should ask Shannon about her favorite "almost but not quite a temper tantrum" moment. Makes me laugh every time I think about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866947503973668447.post-13867591705358000202008-10-21T12:06:00.000-07:002008-10-21T12:06:00.000-07:00Welcome to the board, Lisa!Great read, SQ, as alwa...Welcome to the board, Lisa!<BR/><BR/>Great read, SQ, as always. I so appreciate you taking the time to write down your thoughts, most of which I agree with. The Mike Lee issue? I've been going on about him since I started watching and that was only when he had a young wife to stay healthy for. Now, he's got the babies, too. I hear that his personality has changed a lot since the beginning and I've heard it attributed to the head injuries. I just find it sad. Other, older riders (not all, but some) have learned that there's a time to step back and let yourself have the proper time to heal. I wish someone could get him to understand that. <BR/><BR/>As for the tantrums, how about Clayton Foltyn almost swearing at the camera man? I think he actually hit the camera, too, because I saw the hand come out and heard a light "thud". So unnecessary. I've always thought it was awful for cameras to follow them so far behind the chutes, but that's the way it is, so, imo, they should learn to deal with it. <BR/><BR/>I hope that all of the riders are able to heal both physically and mentally during their break.shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06917315124069408543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866947503973668447.post-24127518497345541822008-10-21T11:59:00.000-07:002008-10-21T11:59:00.000-07:00Welcome, Lisa!

Ross needs to quit because I'm tired of him taking up space.

They are both good at what they do and hopefully neither is close to retirement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
