NFL Legend Junior Seau joined PBR's Dickies Durabullfighters in the arena on Saturday Night for the Built Ford Tough Series event in Ontario. In case you missed his bullfighting debut on VERSUS (or Sports Center!) he got run over pretty good on Friday night but bounced back up and was ready to go again with nothing more than a face full of dirt to show for his close encounter.

Shared PBR veteran bullfighter Shorty Gorham,"We only had about five minutes to actually practice before the event. But after a section he told us he understood our 'plays' and was ready to go in. Now that guy is tough!"

Black PearlIt's been a rapid ride into the final chapter of arguably the most page turning season in ABBI Classic history. With each passing
event, stand-outs seem more competent and a new-comer or two cracks into the top 15.

There're only 44 Classic qualifier spots, including Wild Card Qualifiers, up for grabs this year since the rider number was cut to
the top 40 bull riders for the World Finals. With 5 less positions available, it looks like the fight is fixin' to get downright furious.

Jerry Lindley & Lyndal HurstMost industry insiders understand why having some "Heat in that Meat" is important. When it comes to breeding and raising superstar buckers, let’s face it, duds and hand-lickers don’t generally go on to be electric and rank. Sure, there are exceptions like Red Rock and Little Yellow Jacket who were gentle later in their lives, but for the most part, big-leaguers don’t start out that way.
