Julius Peppers stunned the team recently by giving a five-minute, written-out speech to his teammates. Centered around his own self accountability, Peppers realized it was time to look at the man in the mirror and take responsibility for his actions on the field.

He told the team he went home, put in tape of every game they've played thus far and was extremely disappointed in the man he saw on film. He admitted he needed to make a change immediately, change from the man who had disappointed himself thus far.

Smitty gets deep, about his Jake comments

Steve Smith called in WFNZ on the Frank and Buck show to explain his comments regarding his wildly exaggerated comments to Jake on the sideline during the Philly debacle.  For those of you who missed it, Smith said to Jake "I never really liked you as a quarterback. But as a person, that's who I love. I love you as a person".  Panther fans chalked it up as a mere joke, trying to lighten the mood.  However many in the media ripped Steve for kicking his QB when he was already down.

When Steve explained his remarks I thought he would say it was simply a joke.  However his explanation shows that it wasn't just a joke, and actually had far deeper meaning than I ever imagined.

You can listen to the audio of Smith's interview at:

What Steve Smith brings to this team goes far beyond catching balls. Dude isn't rattled, isn't bitter, isn't self absorbed... the team is getting pummeled and he is thinking "what must I do to keep the rest of the team loose". That's veteran leadership! Of course if the mic wasn't on him, he might have been cussing up a storm, but still it had to be tough not letting emotions overwhelm him.

DeAngelo's comeback line is priceless! He waits til Smitty's about had it, and gets him at his own game. These 2 must be a hoot to have in the locker room. (Yes I said hoot, no I'm not an owl... deal with it.)

The Dan Morgan Curse

Folks it looks like the Dan Morgan curse has reared it's ugly head again in 2009.  But first for those of you who are unfamiliar with the curse, here is a brief description and history...

By definition "The Dan Morgan Curse" is defined as: an appeal to some supernatural power to inflict injury upon a Carolina Panther team, player or position.  The curse is appropriately named after Dan Morgan the most injury ridden Panther player in recent history.  Morgan was selected in the 1st round of the 2001 draft, 11th overall.  The Panthers had big hopes for this 2004 Pro-Bowl linebacker.  However due to continuous injuries and concussions he never played more than 13 games in a season, and averaged only 8 games per year.

How Long Does It Take Julius Peppers to Make $100,000?

Here's a cool article by the Wall Street Journal on how long it takes athletes to make $100,000.

According to the latest figures from the U.S. Census Bureau, it takes an average U.S. citizen a shade under four years to earn $100,000. Alex Rodriguez does it in six pitches.

Mike Mayock is Big on Panthers RB MikeGoodson

In Rich Eisen's own words, "Mike Mayock can evaluate NFL players like nobodies business".  So when asked who his best fantasy sleeper is, Mayock picked our very own Mike Goodson.  He claims Goodson is "a dominiative pocket rocket" and "a good football player who was a great steal".  You can hear his evaluation in the video below.  However you have to first sit through Rich's infatuation with his proclaimed "Touchdown Machine" aka DeAngelo Williams...

Check the video here

 

Also interesting he hints at Jonathan Stewart's injury claiming Goodson might get more touches than you think at running back.  More and more reports are getting me worried about Stewart, and increasing my admiration of DeAngelo's durability.  If JStew is out for any extended period this year then Goodson just might be a life saver... Let's just hope those strip drills in camp are working.
