I dang sure wouldn't call her a good one. Hot as a firecracker? Yes. She met Jr doing design work on his house. Amy was married to a Kentucky coach at the time she met JR and had an affair with Jr. Ended up divorcing her husband then marrying JR. Yep, she's a real "stand by your man type gal". Your definition of good must be vastly different than mine.


And honestly, smells to me like her "influence" on JR to get out of the sport is for mostly selfish reasons. She basically pussified JR. I mean, I get all of those reasons there are for retiring. But he's no man like his dad was.
