The media talk about him cuz he is the most popular driver. I've never heard any of them say he is the best driver out there. I've never heard any of them say he is "god's gift to racing" The problem here is fans of other drivers don't like how much they talk about him, so they talk about him as if he were talentless. it is not Jr's fault he is so popular. He is a very talented driver, just not the best. Jealousy brings that kinda stuff out of people. it's unfortunate, cuz if he were not named Earnhardt, and wasnt as popular as he is, u people would talk about him, and his talent much differently.
