Excited to make an official announcement regarding my announcing journey, promising you that this is NOT an April Fools joke. I have finalized the opportunity to announce the first game of the season for the Minnesota Minx Football professional women's tackle football team.

September 11, 2001 will always live in everyone's minds as we remember those that lost their lives on that fateful day in New York, Washington D.C, and in the field of Pensylvania. The world of professional rodeo and bullriding had brought many great people into my life, a few I wanted to share with you on this day of remembrance. The PBR celebrates America on Saturday night of the PBR World Finals a few years ago. I was able to put together a few of those folks in a video tribute. I hope you will take the time to watch it all the way through as we end the video talking with Retired NYPD Detective Rich Miller who recounts his story of the day that changed his life, the time he spent at Ground Zero, and the stories he shares of that day. Let us never forget those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country, not matter what uniform they wore! With Ryan Weaver, Rich Miller, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection

Interested on hearing from all of you on your honest thoughts regarding decisions made that directly impacted this year's RFD-TV's The American. I will keep my opinions to myself as I want unbiased thoughts from all of you...

1. Bull rider Coy Thorson making a qualified ride only to be drawn out of the rounds at AT&T Stadium DURING the contestant meeting after receiving his back tag number.

2. The last minute change regarding today's final rounds to not make it qn aggregate but instead changing the rules last minute to a sudden death style format.

I am interested into seeing what everyone thinks of everything that has happened and see all of the healthy conversation that we can all have regarding the above implications.
