Must have needed something for the boat payments.

It's a great signing.

Not a surprise.. Duke threw Storm almost exclusively last year..I don't recall seeing him throw anything but Storm when he made the show last year..

It was just a matter of time, I think that he has had alot of confidence in what Storm does for him on the lane, so, it will be intersting to see if he can continue to dominate ( when he doesn't break a toe)

Well, Norm already had a contract with Storm, just not exclusive. He had a "TV Contract" with them.

Seems that they finally found a way to meet his price.

The article says he used a Fire Storm when he rolled his back-to-back-to-back 300s in '96.  I wonder who's got that ball now.

Now, if only Storm would make mini balls to sell at Nationals....
