I love watching the pbr live sometimes and I think Flint is very funny although I would rather be there in person. Otherwise I prefer watching it in HI-DEF on Versus TV.

July 18, 2010I like PBR-TV because you can see what Flint is doing. It seems that no matter what the PBR does people want to omplain instead of enjoying the show. Flint is VERY MUCH a BIG part of the show!!! If someone doesn't like the PBR-TV, then I have a suggestion. DON'T WATCH IT!!! -

July 18, 2010BullGal: I think Zack, like many others, has a home address and then another address for bull riding convenience. I think his other address use to be in CA, or west coast anyway but I think the announcer last night said TX was home base.
My solution to the yammering, I KNOW the announcers and Flint have to follow a script but it does get old when you've been to the live show or listen to the shows before, I turn the sound off until they start showing the cowboy in the chutes. ;-) -

July 18, 2010I am in agreement about the poor choice of camera shots. I am tired of watching these bimbos instead of rides. And does anyone else want to scream SHUT UP at the constant and meaningless chatter of the in-house announcers? As annoyng as they can be attending an event, at least when you are there you can focus on other things going on. When sitting in front of a computer, you don't have that option.
Regardless of the poor PBRTV quality, congratulations to Zack for coming back strong. (And Zack's home town is listed as Hawaii -- did he move back there???) -

July 18, 2010Kasey made a good recovery during his ride last night. Zack is looking as strong and confident as he did last year, and I enjoyed watching the rides by Silvano, Cody N., Wiley, and Valdiron!
I too wish that the camera wouldn't ogle the girls giving out prizes -- or Flint when he's...um...shaking it. -

July 18, 2010Yes, lots of bumps and bruises last night. Man, these bulls mean business. Couldn't be happier for Zack. It's been tough going for him for awhile, but he's managed to figure things out. Good for him!:-)
I too got kind of tired of seeing all the busty babes in shorts last night running around--prefer boyz and bulls! -

July 18, 2010I was sorry to hear about Ben Jones's getting hurt, but then we never got to see it or his ride because the stupid camera man insisted on filming a few sexy girls instead. That is shotty and inexcusable, I am watching to see the rides. He was obviously thinking with the brain between his legs.
