...same broncs and bulls the men are," says top Bareback Rider Benjie Prudom. "There's no reason we shouldn't get paid the same." Indeed, Prudom, a criminal-justice major at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas, trains as hard as any cowboy, lifting weights (she bench-presses 140 lbs.), doing push-ups and riding.

On this occasion, he is just taking it out for a little airing on behalf of Hollywood's favorite team...
...Colts as an assistant offensive coach in 1959, succeeded tough-talking Don Shula as head coach in 1970 and guided the team to a Super Bowl victory in his first season. Less than two years later, he was dismissed by Colts General Manager Joe Thomas-ostensibly for refusing to bench Aging Star Quarterback Johnny Unitas (TIME, Aug. 5)-and signed on with the Lions in January...
