Weekend Closing Thoughts
On a weekend when two new media partners – FOX Nation and The CW – began carrying PBR Teams games, Freedom Days was a showcase of power, precision, and grit. The way Brady Fielder conquered Eyes On Me with a 90.25-point ride—the highest of the weekend—had everyone buzzing. After winning a thriller on Friday night over host Florida, Arizona’s commanding wins over Texas and Carolina kept their momentum scorching, while Texas ended the weekend reminded the world why they’re a force to be reckoned with. Kansas City pressed on without their superstar but couldn’t find rescue. The posture of playoff positioning is tightening—those first-round byes in Las Vegas are within reach, but third or fourth might just circumvent the cold opener curse.
Next stop: Nashville. Can the Stampede, shut out in Florida, rebound for their faithful home crowd, or will the current powerhouses keep rolling? Time will tell. Off the dirt, the PBR’s newest broadcast partnerships ensure the sport’s reach is broader than ever. And beyond the arena, initiatives like the MOA Foundation are pushing the spirit of outdoor freedom to those who need it most—people facing mobility challenges.
