Rodeo Announcer Mike Labelle joined us on the show to wrap up the season

And as we chatted, we said goodbye to Scott Byrne who retires as a bullfighter after 20 years.  He put on his first "uniform" from 20 years ago for his final time.  We appreciate all he has done and the countless times he's helped to save cowboys lives.  He is a true gentleman, incredible person and hero.  You will be missed!

We also said goodbye to another great of the sport.  Black Diamond Bullrider Tyler Thomson announced his retirement earlier in the year with #CFR42 being his last rodeo. And in true TNT style he went out with a bang!

 Next up is the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas in December.  Mike Labelle will be updating us twice daily as we celebrate 6 Canadians vying for a world title.
