According to his tweet apology, he overslept.

Am I the only one not missing this drama at all?

In the midst of all the Tebowmania, I think it's easy to overlook what Fox has done to revitalize the Broncos team (which was really a hot mess not too long ago). I really enjoyed reading this article.

I love how the big question about our franchise quarterback is quickly becoming, "How in the name of Vincent Thomas Lombardi do you STOP this guy?!"

lol @ other NFC South teams installing their "Contain Cam" defensive package starting next offseason.

Still no word on refs being fined for blown call on Shockey's TD catch.

Baldy, Theismann (!), and Millen take turns paying homage to our franchise quarterback. Jaguars passing defense is prone to 400 yards or so of exposure, per the panelists. Good times ahead.

If you're like me, and just skim through the entire article until the part about the Panthers, I'll spare you the trouble:

I watched that Cards-Panthers game pretty closely last week and came away convinced that those are two of the five worst teams in the league: Arizona's secondary would have been the single worst thing I witnessed on Sunday if not for the final episode of Entourage, and Carolina was such a mess defensively that it made Kevin Kolb look somewhat competent (making matters worse, the Panthers lost Jon Beason for the season). But because they played each other, it seems like bettors mistakenly came away thinking, "Arizona might be back with Kolb!" and "Carolina's offense is gonna be exciting this year with Cam Newton and Steve Smith!" which is why both of their Week 2 lines landed three points too low. You'll see.

Take a deep breath, Mr. Newton...and then exhale on Sunday, say around 4:15-ish.

Granted, it's a very small margin separating him from the competition, but no other running back in the NFL has more YPC than D-Will since he has been in the league.

Let's see the critics try to spin this into a negative...

More importantly, he pegs us as the main suitors for both players. Only two other teams (Minnesota, J-E-T-S) made his list twice.

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?! (I've been saying that all weekend, out loud, to no one in particular)

In case you don't want to read the entire article (The NFC South is the last division listed):

He’s only 26 and he’s been to the Pro Bowl the past two seasons, despite playing on bad teams. Scouts, coaches and players around the league will tell you he’s one of the two or three best centers in the league and his reputation will grow rapidly if Carolina can make some improvements after last year’s 2-14 season.

At some point, the Panthers will lock Kalil up to a big long-term deal. There’s a reason for that. They just drafted Cam Newton, whom they view as their franchise quarterback. They want to make sure he’s receiving snaps from and being protected by a franchise center.

Forgive me if I don't know who Tamba Hali or Jerod Mayo is (I tend to wear blinders when following my teams), but I couldn't believe Beason was tied for 9th. He almost didn't make the list!

Thoughts?

I hope this isn't some kind of major setback. The last time he woke up in pain, it turned out that he needed surgery.

The Sports Guy continues his love fest of the Charlotte Bobcats, with such endearing quotes as the following:

Contract these guys. Move them to Vancouver. Move them to Seattle. Do something. The only way this situation could get worse is if Stephen Jackson decides to run into the stands and start inexplicably punching people.

I'm sure he'd love any kind remarks you may have after reading him dump endless praise on our beloved franchise yet again. Stay classy, Mr. Simmons.

Can you guess who they are without analyzing the chart?

2nd place isn't even close.

Augustin
Henderson
D. Brown
Diaw
K. Brown

Fast break, anyone?

Remember when Chris Paul said earlier this season that D.J. "has a lot of talent," and that "they just need to cut him loose"? Well...

My favorite quote from Silas so far as the new coach: "I've found that if you have a confident player, it's unbelievable what he can do."

Now can Derrick play, Uncle Larry? Please?

Just look at rank #s 63 through 66.

Finished laughing hysterically/sobbing inconsolably/banging your head against the nearest hard surface?

Sooooo... are the 2010 Carolina Panthers the worst team in NFL history at evaluating quarterback talent, or has our anemic passing offense just annihilated the promising seasons of four innocent quarterbacks? You be the judge.

(For an extra chuckle, take a peak at #67)

Special shout out to the thread on another site that brought this to my attention.

What he said:

... dropping to 28 teams wouldn't hurt anyone. If you wanted to knock out the Pacers and Bobcats tomorrow and have a dispersal draft for their players, I'd sign off.

As I always, I strongly encourage everyone to drop Bill a quick line on behalf of Rufus.

I don't think I've ever noticed him, but when adjusted for 36 mpg, he could potentially be averaging a double-double and nearly 3 blocks a game. Again, this is just a projection based off of only 3 games so far this season.

Anyone have an informed opinion on him?
