Casey Who?

Casey Tibbs deserved better than this shallow retrospective. If the intent was to highlight the person most responsible for the success of the RCA, National Finals Rodeo, and eventually the PRCA then the producers should have followed the script. Instead they focused on Casey's warts, everyone has them. The producer's jobs were to elevate Casey to the lofty peak he earned, and to create a role model that every budding cowboy wanted to grow up and become.
