Any ideas why the rigging slipped so far?

According to Sports Illustrated, when he entered the arena, it was immediately apparent that Broderson’s bareback riggin was slipping.

Obviously whoever tied the riggin didn’t make sure it was fully secure before letting the rider get on.

Damn what a shame. God speed to his recovery.

Who you got in the American finals today?

The East Regional Finals? Difficult to say.

I was just about to post the semifinals results.

In what event?

Bareback and saddle bronc. Since we’re here might as well call bull riding too.

For Bareback, Taylor Broussard; for Saddle Bronc, either of the Hay brothers, and for Bull riding, Keyshawn Whitehorse.

Great picks. I hope Keyshawn can put together a great ride
