Well, the Ford Invasion trip from Oklahoma City to Baltimore was good. Brendon (Clark) got pulled over, which was kind of a comical deal. We were driving along, a cop pulls up beside us, looks over and recognizes us. He pulled in behind us and pulled us over just to say hi. It was actually pretty cool. We were in Oklahoma and the guy knew J.W. and Cody Hart. He grew up with them. We visited with him on the side of the road for awhile, signed some autographs for his kids, then we jumped back in and took off.

Other than that, it was pretty easy. We hit some storms, and we had about two hours of sitting dead still right as we got here, but overall, the truck performed like it always does. It was a nice easy ride.

Looking back to the 15/15 Bucking Battle from last week, it was one of the best bull ridings I've seen in a long time. I thought the guys really rose to the occasion. The bulls were outstanding. We had seven rides out of 15 - when you're talking about the best bulls in the world, that's impressive. And to get five 90s on top of it, that was pretty cool.

For fantasy picks this week, I'm liking Valdiron de Oliveira right now in Tier A. In the middle tier, I'm going to go with Kody Lostroh and J.B. Mauney. I think Mauney has his mojo figured back out. He's got that cockiness back that he always has when he's riding well. I think Lostroh is kind of just being quiet and doing his thing. He's making those same little old adjustments that are hidden from people that earned him the world title. They better watch him. He's going to come in the back door pretty sneakily.

It's piled up in Tier C. It's hard pickings there. Just pick your favorites and go. I can tell you from last year to this year, that Tier C - it used to be hard to pick a guy you thought could stay on one, and now it's hard to pick a guy that can't stay on one. When they drop five more guys out, that's going to get even better. It might be a good year. There are so many guys in Tier C that you can't count out.

I've been schooling Brendon Clark these past few days while driving across the country, so you might consider picking him in Tier C. I've been getting in his head and getting him right. He's going to spur one in the neck this weekend.

Dakota Beck (Tier C) has a few little fundamental things to iron out, but I admire his effort. To me, you can compare his effort to Austin Meier. He has a little ways to go, but to see a young kid come in and try that hard impresses me.

I'm just glad to be in Baltimore and be done driving. That truck went from Sacramento to Baltimore - 44 hours of driving, trouble-free.
