[Dpantherman]

I know we hate PFT around here, but I figured some of you might want to see this interview

Question 1: Don't you just hate the Panthers?

Question 2: Don't the Panthers suck, and Steve Smith suck?

EDIT: Wow, he has seriously changed his tune about this team. He had very high praise.

[Kuech Da Sneak]

Maybe he's trying to build a positive repertoire with Toolio so he isn't trying to poo all over us & Smitty all the time?

Probably won't work though. He is a tool, after all.

Thanks for the link.

I really like Rivera and his approach to developing Cam.

I like what Rivera said about Norv throwing a lot in Rivers 1st few games.

[Razzy]

Good interview. Can't wait for Sunday!

[CosmoGirl]

[SCP]

love the Ron

[Jackofalltrades]

Ron bromance grows...

[neverlosethefeeling]

Rivera loved TD's comments and I love that.

[Ivan The Awesome]

God this was a good interview, from florio too?! Love the way Rivera handles himself, the guy is just awesome.

[Jackofalltrades]

Its so fun listening to Coach Ron talk about the team. I try to Imagine John Fox talking in depth about the offense and the passing game, and i just laugh to myself.

If Fox were still here, I would bet $100 that Jimmy would be our starting QB.

Obviously, Cam wouldn't be on the roster. Not sure he wouldn't have kept Moore.

[rodeo]

Yep, we'd be all set at DT with our #1 pick, but our offense would still be anemic.

[rayzor]

i'm not sure how to take this. positivity towards the panthers from florio?

good interview.

Someone needs to remind Mike Florio that he makes a living vicariously through these athletes. He needs to stop acting as if he's some expert on who should or should not be great.
