Sony and Dale Jr. and more on Adidas: Sony will announce Thursday [6/21] that Dale Earnhardt Jr. has signed a personal endorsement contract with the high-end consumer electronics company. Adidas is set to announce another deal with Earnhardt next month. Sony was an easy choice for Earnhardt, an avid online racing gamer who likes high-tech gadgets and computers. He primarily will hawk high-definition products (such as TVs, camcorders, cameras and Blu-ray disc players) for Sony, joining Peyton Manning and Michelle Wie as its high-profile endorsers.(USA Today)(6-21-2007)

I would guess that this would be a secondary sponsor.

I read on another forum that Monster is owned by Hansens. Not sure if it is true or not.

I'm sorry, and this is probably the dumbest question a person could ask, but who the Hell is Michelle Wie? This is someone I should have read about, right?

She's a teenage LPGA golfer - basically hyped up to be the female Tiger Woods.

She's had a lot of amateur success and made a splash by playing in some men's toureys.

The "female Tiger Woods?" Is there another drop-dead, gorgeous Swedish model/nanny for her to pair up with as a "Life Partner?"

Seriously thanks for the info. Since I follow LPGA about as closely as I follow the woman's pro basketball and other sports, I now understand why I've never heard of her.
