I found this out to be very interesting while googling for Bobby Bradley.
http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:-rgdr8AeMTYJ:vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1030197/index.htm+bobby+bradley:+roller+pigeons&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=3&gl=us
"Bobby Bradley, GOODLETTSVILLE, TENN.
Roller Pigeons
Bradley, 71, a retired autoworker, won a fall regional fly in this sport, in which kits of 15 to 20 pigeons are judged by rolls and turns they perform, and by time in the air. Earlier this year Bradley's kit set a world record at the World Cup regional fly."
This article was in Oct. 23, 2003 and I was just wondering if anyone knew about it being in Sports Illustrated because I didn't.
Just wanted to share.

I guess it's true what they say:
====> "You learn something new every day."
Bobby Bradley was 71 it says. I hope I'm not that old when I win.

I met Bobby Bradley at the St. Louis all-breed show several years ago. He was a gentelman indeed and a class act representing the roller breed. Bobby will never be forgotten for the things he accomplished in the roller breed. God bless! Ray Sanchez.

Bobby was delighted to promote the hobby in a good way. Not too long after that interview, he release the World Famous Roller Single. In which became a over night hit. I think all this began after he scored that 1000 or was that 2000 plus point.
