Weekend and JR

Stud(s) of the weekend.
Fred Lewis. Giants called him up for two weeks while Dave Roberts is on the DL. In his 1st game up this season he hit for the cycle. on mothers day!
Baron Davis and his Sick dunk over Kirilenko. (www.youtube.com is all over it.)

Dud(S) of the weekend
The Orioles. Blowing a 5 run lead in the bottom of the 9th. I watched almost no TV this weekend and only saw the highlites(more on that later) but that was just SILLY....
Ryan Howard to the DL.
Bode Miller quites the US Ski team. (more later)

NBA
Mark my words.
Chicago is done.
Jersey is done.
Pheonix is done.
Golden State (too bad.) is D-O-N-E

NASCAR
Jeff wins. (sucks for my pool). JR comes in 8th. And no one is paying attention to any other story. The HMS dominance is a story all in itself, but it's not really the main story. If you look at all of the COT races the won, something happened to help them win. Someone else had a bad pit, Wrong adjustments and the car went to shit, ect.....
No one is talking about the following.
The season Jamie Mcmurry is having.
The come back Kurt Busch and Ryan Newman are having.
Matt Kenseth's robot is back behind the wheel.
I'm offically knick-naming Denny Hamlin "Almost". Well we almost won, AGAIN !

JR -
You have alot of time to think when you go fishin. the fact that Dale is leaving DEI should not come as that much of a shock to all. The writing was on the wall along time ago.
#1 - Hires Martin Truex JR. One of the most sought after roockies in the sport and DEI lands him? during the interview process you can almost see Dale telling him "One day, This will all be yours."
#2 - Almost to the day after Truex is hired he start "dropping hints" about A) Bad crew decisions B) Lack of equiptment C) Not having a 3rd team to "learn" from.
#3 - Start his own Busch program to develope drivers.
#4- He also gradually got more and more vocal about wanting ownership of his fathers team. I am in total agreement with everyone that Theresa E. is a total nutjob, bitch, slut. money hungry whore for not giving him what he wants and his fathers company. It would be something totally diffrent if T. was actually Dale's mom and had given birth to him, then I might have seen this diffrent. Her name will never be looked at the same in this industry (One of my friends has already started calling her "Fuk-me-sa", don't worry did not make sence to me either), especially by the diehard fans. Shake your head all you want but now there is no turning back for Little E.
So where's he gonna land?
RCR is the obvious choice. #1 - no 4th driver. #2 - Still own the right to car number #3 and #3 - a chevy house. I would love to see him get into the #3, Get really, really, really pissed and start dressing like Johnny Cash, and driving like his father.
Rumor has it Budwiser might not follow him.
No big thing. With his popularity the would be nuts not to. But the again stranger things have happened. (JR leaving DEI). If he signes with another brand of beer just immagine the what would happen. say he signs with... (let me think)..... Wait, i got it. He signs with Segrams Wine Coolers. That would be hillarious. Imagine 5 million rednecks switching from BUD to Wine Coolers? (Where's the redneck comedy tour when you need them). Package store around the country ordering thousand of cases of coolers? That's off the wall. Paying for in on there
VISA CARD
Visa is the supposite from rummer for his main sponsor. that's a far cry from the "welcome to the new generation of Wrangler". I could not wait for those commercials to start. Especially of they come out with some of the "priceless" commercials.
$200.00 for wine coolers
$50.00 for ice.
$75.00 gas for motor home.
Throwing up peach cobbler cooler during the checkered flag: Priceless......
Let the bidding war begin
Dale say's "It's not about the biggest pay check". Yes, and no. Of course it about a big paycheck. Who ever wins the cup gets what, Like 3.5 million or so? He wants to win, PERIOD. Why not take in a six or seven figure paycheck in the process? There is no open market comparision to him anywhere is sports. Mabey the only one close is Payton Manning with all the products he pedels. No one else comes even close.
