I stumbled across this write-up on the Calgary Stampede. I take what this writer sees for granted, and get wrapped up in who won and how. He explores the why (which I still haven’t figured out entirely) and it’s obviously well-written. What’s refreshing to see is he treats rodeo cowboys as the professional athletes they are. Anyway, thanks to Sam Eifling for shedding a little national spotlight on this sport we love. Also, good work Kelly Timberman and Shane Hanchey for representing your sport so well.
