John Kasay shows up for work in Carolina

[CatMan72]

Let the record show that Panthers kicker John Kasay was the first player to show up for work during this purgatory portion of the lockout we’re currently in.

He was allowed in the door like the NFL said, but left ten minutes later.

Mike Cranston of the Associated Press said Kasay mostly declined comment, but did say, “We’re just walking through the process.”

Haha, that's funny... you go John.

Apparently there are very few players showing up...

Props to Kasay, I hope more of our guys do this throughout the day....

I would guess all the "head" player reps for each team shows up today.

If there are no workouts to do, the players can't fullfill their work out bonuses.

Players are covering their ass very well right now.

They might show up, but no Panthers personnel would be helping anyone...especially in weight room.

[CatMan72]

Sounds like he was just testing the waters as the union rep for the Panthers.

pointlessly walk into and back out of the building?

pointlessly walk into and back out of the building?

Showing up on the first day the players are able to. He wouldn't even be able to workout because I heard on the radio today they're remodeling the weight room right now....

Good for John.

If I was a player, especially a fringe one, I would have been waiting outside the door at sun up.

[PanthaSan]

Way to go John, lead by example.

I'm sure he did it as a sign of good faith that he is ready to perform.

[RockyTopVol]

He's probably afraid they're about to draft his replacement. I'd be there too.

[Panthro]

He was probably just wanted to clear out his locker like Smith!

Good on you John. I'm fine with the old CBA....get it done

[carolinarolls]

like he said they are going through the process. The legal process

This litigious society causes people to do stupid things sometimes. It does not mean Kasay is right or wrong or brave or strong. It just means he is covering his ass because today you have to.

word has it, that kasay left his gameboy in his locker before the lockout and just wanted to get it before they closed up shop again.
