It’s kind of understated, but is he or isn’t he about to get BULLDOZED by that horse?

H/T to Your Scrumhalf Connection for posting the preview. Check back tomorrow for possibly some intelligently crafted thoughts on a show I actually watched – like the Teen Wolf episode of How I Met Your Mother.

After the battle salsa (note: that’s actually what this is callled – except the rope tugging at the end, that was called servin’) this is essentially what happens…
