I once ran with the bulls in my younger days. Long story, but it all started out with a youthful trip across Europe after college. I diverted to Pamplona on a whim and wound up enjoying some wine outside a small cafe on a side-street. Suddenly, I heard a commotion on the other side of the dumpster. I crawled out to see who the F was messin' with me when I was tryin' to get my drunk on and low and behold, I seen the biggest pissed off bull I had ever seen. Then it looked like every one of Chef Boyardee's cousins came running past whoopin' and hollerin' so I joined in and ran along with them for a couple of blocks askin' where everybody was going in such big rush. Then I climbed over one of those security fences and puked.

Thought I would bump this thread as we are just days away from the 2014 version of the Running of the Bulls and this year we can watch it!!

When they originally announced this it said it would be LIVE now its Live with a delay! :bad:

Esquire Network will go live with the Running of the Bulls from Pamplona, Spain

Esquire Network will go live with the Running of the Bulls from Pamplona, Spain
U.S. network to air eight days of Spanish coverage of celebrated event, with tape-delay precaution


It’ll be gore-geous — or gruesome, depending on the point of view.

The Esquire Network will offer the first-ever live coverage of the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain, starting Monday, July 7.

For eight bleary-eyed 2 a.m. telecasts, the fledgling network will carry a live feed from a Spain-based network, with 25 cameras capturing every dangerous twist on the streets as people flee from the stampede of doomed angry bulls.

The telecast will be in English, but the actual runs — each one lasts less than five minutes — will be in Spanish.

“It’s an important cultural event in Spain,” says Laura Civiello, vice president of development at Esquire. “And over there it gets broad national coverage.”

The eight telecasts will include the daily runs, which feature different breeds of bulls that run at different speeds and in different formations, along with interviews with runners.

Expected runners include Joe Distler, the infamous “Iron Man of Pamplona,” who has run every year since 1967, and John Hemingway, the grandson of Ernest Hemingway, who famously wrote about the Running of the Bulls in his novels — and on the pages of Esquire.

In the event a bull manages to catch and gore a person, Civiello says the Esquire coverage will have a delay that will give them several seconds to “do the right thing” and cut away, if necessary.

“We will make decisions as we need to, based on what we’re seeing in the footage,” Civiello says.

Civiello gave the network’s position to possible criticism from animal rights activists for airing the event.

“This event is going to happen whether or not we put it on the air,” says Civiello. “There will be YouTube clips the next day regardless. We’re going to put context around it and let our audience make their own decisions about how they feel about it.”

I've done it and made it through without a scratch but the old man behind me got flipped on his head and taken off in a stretcher. It's brutal but one of the most fun things I've ever done. I'd do it again.

My position exactly. However, I would like to choose a few of the participants who run the bulls. And I would cheer for the bulls.

I have Time Warner and never venture out of non HD. It's 990 on my tv, shouldn't be different scheduling though. I see brew dogs at 2-3 Saturday, but running of the bulls monday-Monday at that time.

Edit: yes I'm on esquire
