Mamas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up and Be Cowboys

Real Sports just did a thing on bull riding and 1) I knew those guys were crazy, but 1 out of every 15 rides ends in serious injury? They had a paralyzed guy tell them that yeah, he'd get back on one more bull if he could! 2) I totally cannot watch that. I mean, it's awesome when they're on the bull, but I don't want to see some guy die. And watch enough bull riding, there's a good chance you WILL.

It does make me pretty amazed at the resilience of the human body, though! Oh, oh! The PBR commercial they showed was totally the best part, though. It pretty much called all other athletes pussies for wearing helmets instead of awesome hats like bull riders.
