julius peppers press conference

[Phil Dees]

over/under 12 on Pep's IQ?

Yeah about a month ago I posted about what a dumb mofo he was, and I used to be around him quite a bit over at Summit Grandview.. This whole board disagreed with what I knew.

I'm sure he'll miss Scorpios though.

Hi guys. I'm new here. Been a Carolina fan since 1994. Anyway, I'm not the best on football knowledge so I thought I ask for some help.

JP started crying the end of last year he wanted out of Carolina. He even stated it in a sideline video at the 2009 probowl. Does anyone remember that? When asked why he said he's tired of the 4-3 d and wants to go to a team that plays the 3-4 d and maybe convert to LB. He seemed mad cause Carolina would not swich to the 3-4 d.

Heres my question. Don't the bears play the same 4-3 d as us? If so was all that an excuse?

Well 1st he just wants out of Carolina. 2nd he wants to reach new heights in his career. But really the only thing that was holding him back was himself.

The Bears gave him a chance to play somewhere with history, play for lots of dough, and not have to be the leader or face of the franchise. He can just focus on his own buisness.

I think he could end up doing VERY well. He seems to have his fire reignited. Nobody wants to make that prediction but I think it's possible. He was very hot/cold here but a new enviroment could change that.

Only lucky bastards have the NFL Network

Anyone can be a lucky bastard.

NFLN is not necessarily a lucky thing when 95% of the time they focus on about 6 different teams.

The Panthers are still a small market team even on the network and you don't have to listen to Jamie Dukes' incessant bullshit and jock-sucking. Consider yourself lucky on that.

[Proudiddy]

I still have no idea how Dukes has a job there. Everyone else is credible, I guess he is the heel. This guy tries so hard to come up with a controversial perspective on everything it's irrational, and most the time, the other guys on there get him caught on his own b.s.

As far as their coverage of teams, when they first started we were big time... They used to have Brentson Buckner on all the time as a guest and did interviews with him over the team cam. Once he was cut, I noticed dramatically less coverage on us, I guess b/c we lost a lot of personality.

[5158Poundin]

We have a few personalities in DeAngelo, JStew and Smitty still left. Defensively - Beason is not really outspoken and Patrick Willis OR Ray Ray get all the love on NFLN....DeAngelo might be the one who grabs some attention for us because he's gotten some love there. Chris Harris is the most charismatic on the defensive side of the ball but he doesn't seem to get much attention from NFLN.

I guess we will wait and see what leaders emerge now from this younger bunch and give it time. Hopefully their performance on the field will give the Panthers some attention in months to come.

As to Jamie Dukes - it would please me to no end to see him out of a job when his contract is up. He's the biggest waste of space, a prima donna and argumentative just to be contrary when he really has no case....his befuddled idiocy makes me change the channel almost every time.
