“You got got one angry motherfucker here, Eaton.”
The handsome cowboy on the back of a huge bull scoffs and
shifts his hand around the rope before him. His dark eyes twinkle
on the screen, all the hard lines of his face peeking through the cage of his
helmet. “The harder they buck, the happier I am.”
I can barely hear what they’re saying over the din of the crowd in the
vast arena with music blaring in the background, but the subtitles at the
bottom of the screen clear up anything that might otherwise get missed.
The young man leaning over the pen chuckles and shakes his head.
“Must be all that milk you drink. No broken bones for the world-famous
Rhett Eaton.”
The easily recognizable cowboy grins behind the cage over his face, a
flash of white teeth and the wink of an amber eye from beneath the black
helmet. A charming grin I know from spending hours staring at a glossy,
still version of it.
“Beat it, Theo. You know I fuckin’ hate milk.”
A teasing grin touches Theo’s lips as he speaks with a lightly accented
voice. “You look cute in those ads with it painted above your lip though.
Cute for an old guy.”
The younger man winks and the two men share a friendly laugh as Rhett
rubs a hand up the rope methodically.
“I’d rather get bucked off a bull every damn day than drink that shit.”
Their laughter is all I hear as my father pauses the video on the large
flatscreen, redness creeping up his neck and onto his face.
“Okay . . .” I venture cautiously, trying to piece together why that
exchange requires this impromptu meeting with the two newest full-time
hires at Hamilton Elite.
“No. Not okay. This guy is the face of professional bull riding, and he
just skewered his biggest sponsors. But it gets worse. Keep watching.”
He hits play again, aggressively, like the button did something wrong in
this whole affair, and the screen flashes to a different scene. Rhett is
walking outside of an arena, through the parking lot with a duffel bag slung
over his shoulder. The helmet is now replaced by a cowboy hat and a slim
man in dark baggy clothes is taking quick strides to keep up with his target
while the cameraman follows and runs tape.
I don’t think the paparazzi usually follow bull riders, but Rhett Eaton
has become something of a household name over the years. Not a paragon
of purity by any stretch, but a symbol of rough and tumble, rugged country
men.
The reporter takes a little skip step to get far enough ahead that he can
line his microphone up with Rhett’s mouth.
“Rhett, can you comment on the video that’s been circulating this
weekend? Any apologies you’d like to make?”
The cowboy’s lips thin, and he tries to hide his face behind the brim of
his hat. A muscle in his jaw flexes, and his toned body goes taut. Tension
lines every limb.
“No comment,” he bites out through gritted teeth.
“Come on, man, give me something.” The slender guy reaches out and
presses the microphone against Rhett’s cheek. Forcing it on him even
though he declined to comment. “Your fans deserve an explanation,” the
reporter demands.
