This puts how long Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis (R) has been in the league. He played with former Carolina defensive end Al Wallace, 44, as a rookie In 2005. And Davis says he wants to play beyond this season. Rucker says he hasn't seen anyone hit harder than Davis, 35.

I have a story about Alonzo Mourning.

When I was a kid, I went to hornets games all the time back when they were at the Hive off Tyvola. After the games, Steve Martin or Gil mcGregor would interview a player on the court and fans would line up near the tunnel to get an autograph. I wasnt successfull most of the time, or my dad wanted to leave to avoid traffic, etc but the room where to stand would fill up quick. One game I got down there early and felt good about getting a signature, and Zo was the player to be interviewed. He came out and did his interview and when he was done he walked right by all the people standing there, a lot of kids, and completely disregarded the fans. To my knowledge it was sort of a tradition and expected for the player to sign a few signatures and Zo basically had better things to do. 

 Once people realized he wasn’t going to sign they begin to yel, boo, groan etc and start to leave. Zo stops right before he disappears into the tunnel and does a long pause with his back to the crowd chugs his Gatorade in an arrogant, like uneccesary fashion and shoots up a peace sign to the crowd before leaving. I don’t remember really ever going back to get an autograph after that. I will always remember that moment. This happened like 20-22 years ago.  

Same thing happened to me with (I am older) Harlem Globetrotter Meadowlark Lemon.  Curly Neal signed one, he was great, but Meadowlark blew off Channel 9 anchor Jack Callahan--who was in a wheelchair--then blew by me, nearly knocking me out of his way.  My dad, a racist, decided to use a popular slur on him, making Meadowlark stop and turn around.  (I was embarrassed).  Still, I got my Kodak Instamatic out and snapped a shot of Meadowlark Lemon and my dad squaring off in the old Charlotte Coliseum on Independence Blvd.  Dad played TE at South Carolina and was only about 28 at the time, so it would have been a good fight.  We left, jumping into the General Lee and driving home.  (Made up the last part so I could have a cool ending).

      Bryce Young Work Ethic

      By strato · Posted

      Okay, that day in Vegas had to embarrass him completely. Andy showed him how to do the job.  What I think when I go there, why did it take Andy? He has had game after game of watching actual NFL QBs work and that didn't do it?  Anyhow Andy did not mess around, he stood in there and did his job and got rid of the ball ahead of the pressure. Down the field. With the same players Bryce had. Night and day.  If that didn't wake him up nothing ever would. But I don't think he has any sort of top NFL QB in him, he just lacks the full tool kit.

      Team is dangerous right now, all four lines are contributing and the speed at which the guys play at is tremendous.

      And every nfl player wannabe tries to up their draft position through things like the combine and theyre all basically lying though those drills theyve practiced hundreds of times that have little bearing on if theyre a good football player. The pro days are even worse. All you have to do is dupe 1 team. Is it right? No. But until teams put more emphasis on college tape vs. What they did in shorts with no defense it'll happen every year. I doubt there is a single player that wouldn't try anything to up their draft prospects.  Young had years of tape and that shouldve been what the decision was based on. Not a scale and throwing in shorts.  ( btw I think the combine and pro days are 90% a waste of time) Young has it financially made already. It's up to him if he wants to be a good football player too. I think the benching was the best thing that could've happened to him. It remains to be seen if it was enough
