Uni Breaks Wrist While Patting Himself on Back

[LMITOUT]

Reigning NASCAR Nextel Cup champion Jimmie Johnson has a broken left wrist, Hendrick Motorsports announced Sunday.

Johnson suffered the injury Friday when he fell out of his golf cart while participating in a charity golf tournament in Lecanto, Florida.

Lucky he wasn't going into turn 4 at 175 mph on his cart. He might have taken out several other golfers with him!

He wasn't driving.....he woulda been but his back was sore from carrying $15,000,000 and the CUP around......

How right you are!

Who would of thought golf was more dangerous then racing.

For the record he wasn't driving. They have got to hate being passengers.

Sounds like he was on the roof.

Wonder if Vickers was driving.

I heard it was windy and his brow got blown over his eyes and he couldn't see the handle to hold on going into the turn.....

I heard that Mikey blew his cart motor and wrecked into a tree. Jimmy's cart got into the oil, lost control and flipped Jimmy out.

I heard Jimmy got back into the cart and still beat JR.

It was rumored that after the crash Johnson was overheard mumbling something about that "if those unapproved shocks I had at Dover were on this cart, it would have handled a lot better in the turns." He then corrected himself and decided later that the trick rear window that was used at Daytona before the car was impounded and Knaus suspended for four races, would have been better than the illegal shocks afterall.

After giving that some thought, his official excuse was that he was being run into all around the golf course and it was out of his hands until finally the guy behind him took the air off the spoiler/golf bag rack. Video replay clearly indicated Johnson was out of control and took out the rest of the foursome including himself. No apology from Johnson has been given to this point and none is expected.

He still gets to look at the Cup before he goes to bed, and Jr. looks at his Most Popular Driver award and dreams of someday being good enough to win a cup on his own. Maybe Santa can bring him a toy cup so he can have one of his own this year.

Anyways, I sure Jimmie's bones aren't in as good of shape as Jr's are, since jimmy has had to lift all those trophy's this year and Jr. only had to lift 2, and only one of them came from a racetrack.

It is being reported now that JJ was messing around on the roof of the cart and got thrown several feet when the driver hit a berm.........I'm guessing he was about a .10 and may have gotten a 8 from the judges on the dive!

Course Officals are still trying to determine if JJ was intending to push the roof height down so his cart passed post round inspections.

God, I love the Off-season.

darn right!

I got hold of the "In-Cart Audio" from Jimmie before the incident. He said, "this golfing is almost as easy as beating Little E in the points, I've got to try something to give me a challenge, I'm hitting my next shot off the roof of the cart!"

[PERCHJR]

Boy it is sure funny how "EVERY" post lead's to Jr, seem's that he is on everybody's mind lately!!! HUH!!! But of course he is a nobody right??? Even though he is "THE MOST POPULAR DRIVER" on the track!!!

[LMITOUT]

At least the Hendrick crew didn't make up some lame excuse that he broke it while signing autographs because nobody would have believed that one!

[NAPAFISH]

On top of the cart???

Because it's that easy, that's why it gets done.

Looks like he might have weakened his wrist trying to open the bottle??? Or is he soiling himself?

[NAPAFISH]

Dont really care for Uni but this is funny

ESPN JIMMIE JOHNSON

[eyepatrol]

That is a funny pic, but still, there are plenty of guys in Cup that haven't shaken the championship bottle...and we all know who that includes!

[Fish_Hunter]

Thought it would be in some good humor. I know my boy Tony Stewart isn't one of those you are talking about though!! For as many times as I have been on this forum, I never thought of looking under the NASCAR one. Always just the fishing. Hope everyone here is good hearted about a little ribbing now and then. Anyone else getting excited about the next season??

[OUTDOORNUT]

Chris,

Don't worry about the jabs....that is what this forum is all about! ha ha

And Tony Stewart is no boy.....unless your talking about him being the little spokesman for the "BIG BOY" food chains!
