Only In NY!

The buzz flying all over the net today is about Eli Manning’s ad on his practice jersey. The ad was sold and placed on the left shoulder of the jersey. All NFL teams are doing this. The NFL only lets team’s sell on practice jersey’s. Could you image if they sold ads on their regular jersey’s? They would look like a walking billboard, now that would be funny. Thank God for the NFL not allowing that. Anyway, Eli Manning is protesting the Timex ad on his jersey. Not because he doesn’t like Timex, it’s because he has a deal with Citizen, which is a major sponsor for him. The problem is there is nothing he can do about the ad on his jersey. That’s because the NY Giants own the jersey’s and they can sell to the highest bidder. I guess Eli will just have to suck it up for awhile and get over it.

Dewalt Power Tools And NASCAR!

Dewalt Power Tools has pulled out of NASCAR, starting next season. What does this mean for the driver of that car, Matt Kenseth? My guess is that Roush Fenway Racing will need to find another sponsor, a big sponsor. This just comes to show how bad things still are with the economy. If you didn’t know already, Dewalt Power Tools have been sponsoring Kenseth for 10 seasons, which is a long time. If a big sponsor like Dewalt pulled out, I wonder who’s next. Sponsors come and go, but lately they’ve been dropping like flies. I also think troubles within NASCAR isn’t helping things. For the last few years now NASCAR executives have been really messing things up. I just hope things just soon, or there will be no more NASCAR.

French Open!

The winner of the 2009 French Open is Roger Federer. And this just so happens to be Federer’s first French Open trophy. He also ties Pete Sampras with a record of 14 major singles titles. I think Federer as a few good years left, so he might end up being the winnest major singles champion ever. But then again he might never win another singles major again. Oh, he’s also the sixth man to complete a career Grand Slam, which is a very hard thing to achieve. If he where to retire today he just might be considered the best to ever play the game, what a day this is for Federer.

Sad Day For Golf!

Just today it was announced that golf pro Phil Mickelson’s wife Amy has breast cancer. Phil and Amy have 3 little girls, all under the age of 10. Phil and Amy are the most well known couple in golf. Phil is the number 2 golf player in the world. And Phil has now made the choice to leave the PGA Tour to fight this cancer with his wife. This just shows the world what a guy Phil is, which I already knew. Phil Mickelson has always put his family first, that’s why he’s my number one golf player. And I know for a fact that people route for him because of who he is, not how he plays.

I have read the over the next few weeks Amy, who is 37 years old will begin with major surgery. Amy is a very upbeat person, and I’m sure she will win this fight. I hope for the best for Amy and her family.
