Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

Pillsbury DoughBoy Heir Jeff Fuller

appears to be the man in the middle of the McCourts. Normally I'd ignore this gossip but how can I ignore someone who until recently was the Dodger Director of Protocol? Director of Protocol? What on earth could this person do? Did the Dodgers have dignitaries from Israel visiting? Did he determine where the GBA singer stood and how long they could sing? Vin Scully is close to royalty but I don't think he's meeting with any foreign dignitaries. Did Jeff decide which gift to give Bud Selig when Bud visits Dodgers Stadium?

If there was a cushier job in the Dodger organization I can't imagine what it could be and isn't a cushy job something you would expect of a Pillsbury Doughboy heir? I could care less about what Frank and Jamie are doing or did do as this thing unwinds but I just can't ignore the fact the Dodgers had a Director of Protocol and that he was fired in Mid - October and then Jamie was fired for

failure to follow procedures, and inappropriate behavior with a direct subordinate."

and a week later the ex Director of Protocol is having lunch with the ex Dodger CEO. It is easy to see how this whole mess started, Jamie wanted to poke the Pillsbury dough boy and one poke led to a girlish giggle and before you know it a $800 million dollar franchise is at risk because Jeff was doing the office PopNFresh with the incredibly hot Dodger CEO who simply stands out among the throngs of Southern California beauties when it comes to brains.

Then again, Jeff may simply be a friend that Jamie was having lunch with who was giving her advice on how to handle being fired when you are a mega millionaire.

For the latest real information on the Divorce the LA Times Bill Shalkin has some details of Jamie being fired and why Frank may have included those tidbits in the termination letter. I was hoping SOSG had come up with a clever column so I could ignore this story and just link to them but they have yet to produce anything other then a poll. Any minute now they should be sending spasms of laughter our way. Come on Director of Protocol, Pillsbury DoughBoy, PopNFresh, Jamie McCourt, this should write itself for someone with a gift for humor.

Except in any divorce there is pain for all parties involved, for a couple about to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary a lifetime of memories are going to be tested for them and their children. Maybe that is why SOSG is staying their hand? Then again we all know all humor is based on real pain so while I'm sorry for the predicament that the McCourts are in, once in a while I'm going to take a poke at a commercial icon and hope to emit an uncomfortable giggle. The McCourts are about to unleash a season of pain upon their fans so a few jokes at their expense is probably all the payback I'll get.

Poor Frank McCourt.

He must be having some sleepness nights. His woman was boning the Director of Protocol possibly, his team got systematically taken apart by the Phillies, and now she is going to try and take over his team. A tough month for sure. Once again it is proven to me that money does not always bring happiness. Hopefully the Dodgers stay upright throughout all of this.

I really think there will be problems now when the North Koreans show up at the park for Enriched Uranium Weekend.

A birdie who works in the organization told me that Jeff was more or less the McCourt’s driver/bodyguard.

Why would someone so rich be a body guard or driver? Gotta be more to it.

Is he actually rich?

not all heirs are created equally.

That is a good question

sounds like he got left out of the loop. If he is a filthy rich heir and was working as a bodyguard/driver then he becomes a very interesting character. Some of this feels like that crazy show some of you loved Arrested Development.

From the TMZ post

emphasis mine

Fuller’s late mom was an heir to the Pillsbury fortune

So Mom got a piece of the pie, and if Fuller has siblings and/or Dad is still around, Fuller may only have a fraction of a slice of the Pillsbury dough.

This is all very rich, but he still wants more sugar on his muffin.

In looking at those TMZ photos

Do I detect a bit of a Jeff Kent resemblance with Jeff Fuller? Jamie loved having Jeff Kent at her WIN functions and seemed to be in his corner.

And check out the stubble; he’s starting to grow the Kent porn ’stache.

The guy at the table in front has a resemblance to T.J. Simers :)

Looks like the back of splashkey’s head in the red?

According to Someone Who Knows, the McCourts’ marital problems stem from their power struggle over control of the Dodgers, which began when Frank booted Jamie from her post as team president, gave her the title CEO and appointed Dennis Mannion to her old job. Mannion reported directly to Frank McCourt, skipping over Jamie – a situation she was raaaather put out about, we’re told.

"Decisions were made, she was overruled, if consulted at all," said one insider.

Then, as we told you, Frank’s peeps fired former Red Sox [team stats] spinmeister Charles Steinberg, a Jamie confidante, and a cadre of people he brought to the Dodgers from the Sox. We’re told the latter were canned while Jamie was out of the country last summer.

As always, do stay tuned.

I am wondering if Frank was smart enough to have her sign non ownership rights
