  1. If we had more competent talent at WR Bersin's best case scenario would be making it as the last WR who never sees the field during the season. This is why I really hoped we would do more with the position. I suppose as long as we lose Cotchery OR Bersin by the time the season starts, I can live with it though... I was happy for BB making the team and all last season with his story, and he seems like a great guy, but he isn't very good. Also, as far as RB, I'm pretty sure I said it when we signed him, but Todman will absolutely make this team, and I could see him surpassing Fozzy when all is said and done. It's kind of been a running joke here on the huddle, where anytime we would sign someone at RB, multiple people would say, "I think we've found our Darren Sproles." Fozzy has been the closest to it, but I'm telling you, I think Todman is the real deal in regards to being thscat-back we've been looking for.
  2. Cam is awesome. Happiest I've been with any move in a long time. There have been a lot of good moves in our history, but this may be the best.
  3. Sure it's already posted but just got the alert on my phone... 60 mil guaranteed... I like. Thank you for being you, Cam!
  4. Are you looking at my boner?
  5. Welp... Let me get this started off right so I have room for some debits later... Dave Gettleman is the greatest football executive in the history of the world. He is a football genius. A savant. He lives, breathes, and sleeps football. I love him. He is my favorite person in the history of persons. His drafts are the stuff of legend. I admire him like no other being can be admired without being sexually attracted to them. I now wear my shorts at nipple-level in his honor. That is all.
  6. Lol @ people complaining if it's fully guaranteed... You get a once in a lifetime talent, you give him a once in a lifetime contract. I have no problem with it. If we didn't pay him, someone else would. You give him what he wants.
  7. I hereby declare this day, Cam Newton Day, in all of Panthersland! One thing though, is it just me, or does the length of 5-years seem a bit short? Without looking, I thought the most recent franchise QB deals were 6-7 years? Not nitpicking, just curious... Regardless, I'm ecstatic! Cam... Whoaaaaaaaa Cam!
  8. fug Raleigh for withdrawing. And fug Asheville for not.
  9. I feel conflicted. I've always kind of felt like the Warriors were my adopted west coast team. I grew up reading about RUN TMC, then their runs with players like Webber, Sprewell, when Muggsy played for them a few years, J-Rich, B-Diddy (I could pull for him again after he left New Orleans, F THEM), Captain Jack... And now, they have Charlotte's own, Steph at the helm... And if you don't like him, you just don't like life. BUT, I said last year when LeBron went back to Cleveland last offseason, that if we were out of playoff contention, I would be pulling for them... I hate them as long as we're alive, but we WEREN'T from the season opener lol. And it's not because of some affinity I have for Cleveland, but I am a LeBron fan, and I was happy he did the right thing. It was the best thing for him and Cleveland. It should be a fairy tale ending for his career to finish it out there and finally bring home a championship to their long suffering fans (the REAL reason I would like to see them get one), and it all is for his home state. I feel like it's one of those things where you truly don't have a dog in the fight, just a couple of dogs you found walking around on the street and gave them what was left off your Big Mac. I feel like it's one of those matchups where I don't truly know who I want to win until it tips off. I have reasons I'd like to see both of them win, but I also would feel sad for either of them if they lose, lol... SO, what I'm saying is, is that this is going to be an awesome NBA Finals. IMO, this is probably going to be the best Finals since the Mavs came back and beat the Heat for Dirk's chip... In all honesty, all of the season-ending injuries to the Cavs was probably the best thing that could happen for basketball. Love never really found, or adapted to, his role in Cleveland and then once his injury ended the idea of their "big three," it forced the rest of the team to play as a team and LeBron to step his game up to MJ-esque levels of greatness. But, it also made them a lot more complete, just as the Warriors are, from top to bottom. So, I expect a highly competitive series! It's gonna be fun!
  10. I need to know... 1) Is he smaller than 6'7", 280 lbs? 2) Can he consistently catch the ball and is he known for having good, reliable hands? 3) Does he run a sub 4.7 forty? 4) Was he ever drafted by another team and played a significant role for them? If the answer is yes to any of these questions, then nope... DO NOT WANT!
  11. Ehhh, i hate to be that guy, but iirc, Al Wallace was the guy who destroyed Simms and his spleen.
  12. If we're interested, i dont understand why we didnt complete a trade using a mid-rounder to secure him? Judging from this year's draft, it's not like DG values them as actual picks lol. But seriously, i know we don't know if we did offer anything or not, but if we wanted him, we should've traded for him because there's no way he makes it to us in waivers.
  13. http://m.fayobserver.com/sports/fayetteville-looking-to-lure-charlotte-hornets-d-league-team/article_30bf9a55-8dc8-5e4f-9f16-3ba24f497f17.html?mode=jqm
  14. Yeah, i mentioned it in my post earlier in the thread... i was actually a ball boy for them. IIRC, they were among league leaders in attendance every year. They had a LOT of famous/legit NBA players that came through there too... but, like i said in that previous post, im surprised the nba keeps expanding the dleague teams because from first hand experience, i have no idea how they make money, or even break even for that matter, no matter how successful they are.
  15. I wouldn't write off fayetteville so quickly either... mj's brother, larry, lived there for years while he was serving in the army. Larry has a position with the team in the front office now and there is literally nothing else to do in Fayetteville, although i have to admit, the crown coliseum is starting to get up there in years... regardless, they have a history of supporting a dleague team and it would expand/secure the fanbase. Buzz Peterson, also employed by mj, has connections to Asheville, iirc. And Raleigh just makes sense because it's the capital/a big market in the state and the team could go a long way in expanding and securing the fanbase in-state by putting it there... and the expendable income is there too. I guess the same could be said for Greensboro, but i think thats too close to Charlotte.
  16. Phil Nawrocki: Cam Newton With Backhanded, Snobbish, Disingenuous Gesture... Refuses To Walk With Classmates At Graduation.
  17. Sorry, lol, i was half asleep and didnt proof read... also, using a new keyboard on my phone. I was just saying, i find it funny that a lot of the people that are incensed by the idea that JR wouldn't consider Collins are some of the same people that had no problem with hiw he handled Hardy (whose case was appealed and then dropped).
  18. Oops, i meant tweet him this video:
  19. Lol @ people mad at jerry over not signing an unproven college tackle coming out of the situation hes fot going on being a lot of the same ones that had no problem with hiw he trested or handled Hardy.
  20. Yeah, I would love to see it in Raleigh... I'm 15 mins away. Or my hometown, Fayetteville... I worry about anything in Fayetteville,becsude of the crime and such, but hey, if everyone can turn their head and pretend Durham is cool and safe while Duke wins, they can with Fayetteville too... Fun fact: I was a ball boy for the Fayetteville Patriots when we had them back in '02-03. Shook hands with Nate Archibald, who was our coach. Gave water to college greats like Omar Cook, Erick Barkley, And1 Player Lonnie Harrell, Terrell McIntyre, Mateen Cleaves, Jason Collier (the one that signed with the Hawks and died), and Birdman. Good times. Gerald Green played there after I had moved away too. From what I remember, Fayetteville had among the best attendance each year, but then they folded... That's why I'm surprised each time we hear of new franchises opening up in the nbdl... So many have had good attendance and success on the court, and they still fold... I think it's because they just hemorrhage money. So unless the NBA has a budget set aside to completely allow them to stand alone, I have no idea how they operate. Regardless, I'd love to see it.
  21. I've been watching boxing my whole life... I can't recall a more disappointing bout. I felt like from Jamie fox's drunk ass national anthem, to the final bell, everyone involved went through the motions and went home to count their money. Then i have friends who are homer mayweather fans whom think if you didn't like him winning, you just don't understand boxing... What a joke. No, people understand boxing, they don't understand people half-assing it because they already got paid. You know who had great defense? Sugar Ray Leonard... Ask anyone that saw his bout with Duran if they were disappointed by it. I appreciate Floyd's defensive abilities, but he barely even tried to counter or engage. It was like they both agreed to not try to take each other out so they could smile, hug it up, and count their money. Even when Floyd sat on the ropes, pac threw 3-5 punches and then would back off himself... He wouldn't stay in the pocket and let his hands go. It was a joke. Even Bernard Hopkins said Pac looked "satisfied," the entire night. As someone who has followed it my whole life, I keep hoping that boxing will return to where it once was... But that didn't do it any favors.
  22. You know what will stop the complaining? Addressing WR with fast/talented WRs. That's all I've asked for two years... It doesn't help matters when GMan and Rivera came out before the offseason and said they would need to add speed at WR and basically only made one move to address it, with a guy who isn't a very good WR (Ginn), but rather a great return man. I want guys that can get open for my QB, so he doesn't have the struggles he had early on last season. We need more quickness, speed at the position... But oh well, we have what we have now. If GMan would've addressed WR like he does the defense every year, I would be the happiest, most content, excited, cordial, amiable mother effer on this board. Because if he did that, there would be no doubt in my mind that we have the best options possible out there. It shows he cares, and he gave the position competition, and after the best guys win the job, great depth. Until he does that, I will continue to have a problem with the position. You don't like it, don't read it.
  23. I hoped people would at least get a laugh, that's why it's there lol.
