J.R.'s Latest Q&A

Greetings JR, In your honor, today I will be enjoying a huge sausage and brisket plate at the Hard Eight BBQ in Coppell, TX, which is just a Great Khali suplex from DFW airport. Question: How did it arrive that you get to be on the sidelines for OU games and travel with the team? Without getting into to much detail, are you considered a big financial supporter of the program?

I'm friends with the coaching staff including the head coach. I'd like to think I did not buy my way on the plane if that's what you're inferring. Friends help out friends. Simple formula. But yes I also support the program but so do thousands of other Sooner fans.

I know its easy to pour on Landry Jones for his INT's against the Huskers, but do you see him as the Sooners starting QB for the next 3 years? I personally love his size and arm.

Hard to say conclusively but it looks as if Landry will start next year. OU has a great prospect coming in from Wichita named Blake Bell who has the goods to be the man in time and perhaps Sooner than later.

J.R. Let me start by wishing you a speedy recovery. We all miss you. Since you've had some experience officiating football games, I'd love to know your thoughts on the interception call in the LSU-Alabama game Saturday. Also, what's your thought on the SEC fining Urban Meyer $30,000 for his comments agains the league officials? John Dupont Baton Rouge

Didn't see the play but generally my opinion is that coaches should shut up and coach. The human element of officiating has always been a part of the game and the defiance the coaches often demonstrate hurts the game and sets a bad example for kids who watch. Urban can afford the 30K and if more coaches get fined or have to sit out a game they will use better judgment and sportsmanship and stop whining.

Who would win in a battle of wits? Jerry "the King" Lawler or Jessie "the Body" Ventura? If these two called a match together how classic would that be? lol.

I would say in a two out of three fall talk off that Lawler wins the third and deciding fall because of his ability to speak in sound bytes.

Have you read Eric Bischoff's book "Controversy Creates Cash"? If so, how do you feel about the way he spoke about you in reference to letting you out of your WCW contract? He seemed to make it seem your were jealous of him becoming executive producer and blamed him for firing you when as he felt he was "helping" you. Do you agree or disagree?

I was likely envious that he came out of nowhere to get the chance to coach the team. I'm not sure that he intended to do me any favors when he took me off the air originally but as it worked out he did me a great favor getting me out of WCW and into WWE.  I enjoyed the book BTW.
