The Professional Bull Rider tour makes a stop in Dallas this weekend at the AAC. I was checking out the site, hoping to find a local rider to root for, when I got sidetracked by the Injury Reports. Surprisingly, only a half dozen riders are on it, including Mike White:
Mike White is out with a possible fractured jaw sustained when he was pulled down on the bull’s head during his ride in Fresno. He is undergoing x-rays at home and is questionable for Dallas. He also sustained a lacerated chin that was sutured in the training room.
Ow.

Cool. Apparently he has an X-ray machine in his house. Wonder if it’s in the garage?
Probably got a deal on one from Circuit City…
Oddly enough, we were flipping channels Saturday and watched this happen as well as the interview post stitches. He could hardly talk or move his jaw. When asked if he would wear the optional helmet and face guard in the future he said probably not. He said he had tried wearing one before and it interfered with his riding. This is one tough sport!
