missing a jersey?

NASCAR Update:
We're down to the final three races in 2007 and a very close points battle has developed between teammates Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson as we head to Texas Motor Speedway thsi weekend. Just like the saying goes everything is bigger in Texas including the high speeds at this flat track. Gordon will be trying to not only expand his points lead but also pick up his first win there. Can he? Or will somebody else steal his thunder? You'll have to tune in to find out. Watch the Dickies 500 at 3 PM/est on ABC.

After his poor finish at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Tony Stewart has decided to stop paying attention to the points and just race. I think Tony was like three weeks behind in realizing he was out of contention.

Denny Hamlin stopped by a local children's hospital in Dallas, TX to donate $25,000. Nothing brings you better PR than sick kids and money.

Football Update:
Giants have the week off, so all you Big Blue fans can tune in to see Eli's brother hopefully take down baby daddy Tom Brady as the Colts take on the Pats at 4:15 PM/est on CBS.

There's nothing like a great verbal back and forth before two teams, especially if it's on a national stage like say Sunday Night Football on NBC.
