Carl Edwards backflips into Biscayne Bay, for some odd reason

By Jay Busbee

Carl Edwards may not be the most skilled Frisbee player on the Sprint Cup circuit, but he's got to be one of the most fun. In Miami this week for a quick promotion of the season-ending race at Homestead, Edwards took a tour of the town, ending at South Beach on an amphibious vehicle that went from Ocean Drive right into Biscayne Bay. And, Carl being Carl, you can probably guess what happened next:

Jack Roush must have been having kittens at that. All I've got to say is, if Edwards isn't cast in the next Miami Vice movie -- or at least one of those freaky Kardashian sister reality shows -- somebody's missing some real opportunities. Either that, or Carl needs to start flipping into famous waterways all over the world -- the Amazon! The Mississippi! The Seine in Paris! The possibilities are endless.

    I think he is supposed to be in Memphis this weekend for the race so the Mississippi River is like 5 minutes from the track. I would guess he couldn't pass a drug test after flipping in the river though. Might think twice about that one.

    Now let's see the Mark Martin backflip into the water (obviously a stunt double backflip into the water). Just like the old Dale Jarrett commercial, except Dale ain't around no mores.

    I think you have to pump-up the muscles to show the definition. Carl sure enjoys himself, nothing boring about him.

    Carol - There is also a fish in the Amazon that will swim up a dudes junk and eat it's way out. I think it's called a needle fish,,,,,,or maybe it's called HOLY CRAP A FISH SWAM UP MY PENIS! Either way, I'd only swim there if I were inside a zip lock bag.

    Lol Cmep, thanks for the heads up on that! There are lots of nasties in the Amazon, from what I hear. I don't think a Ziplock bag would do it for me.

    The Seine "in Paris"???????? As opposed to the Seine in Pascagoula, Mississippi? Really, how geographically ignorant do you assume we are?

    Amazon:--The fish is called Candiru. Indian men always stand facing the current while in the water, so the Candiru won't go up their backside and cover their front with their hands. Anyone else wears shorts or bathing suit. The biggest fear is parasites and microbes that you can not see, everything else you learn to live with and most including piranha are harmless..never a recorded attack on humans, that's all hollywood.

    Carl is such a great guy with a fun-loving personality. It's great to see him enjoy life so long as he doesnt rehurt his leg or hit his head. Afterall, fatherhood is not too far away for him when there will be more important things to occupy his time. Premature "Congratulations."
