Never saw it on here, but it is an older Interesting read and gives Gross a bunch of props for showing people that not everyone is a meathead asshole who plays football.

great find...

It was a good read, and highlights why FAs should really strongly consider the Panthers.  While Gross is only one player, he is that goofy guy because the team environment allowed him to be.  This is something that I think everyone, when they are thinking about their own career choices, but is it a place where I can not only earn a good wage and do a good job, but also a place where I can be me.  As someone who'se had to put on a false face for a decade, I am super envious!

 

We'll miss Gross' strong play for his career, but there is still a giant void for the young guys to fill regarding the leadership.  Good luck kidos!

Gettleman is changing the culture. I think he's trying to cut out a lot of the games. Jordan seemed like a cool guy, but maybe gettlemen didn't like all the games and pranks. He's even making them wear suits now! I know stuff like that happens in every locker room. But maybe it was just going to far and that everything was a fugin joke. I mean, we all know hurney was a fugin clown.

He's like the anti-Incognito

I'm a huge Oakland A's fan and season ticket holder and it seems like both my favorite teams have a similar locker room. A's players talk constantly about how the locker room is like no other locker room they've ever been in. Looks like Carolina's is similar.

You honestly believe gettleman is saying no pranks in the lockerroom?!

no.  but maybe it went too far.

[CarolinaCoolin]

no. but maybe it went too far.

False. 100% false. The only thing gettleman is changing is that we weren't over paying anyone anymore

[philp]

Well we're wearing suits for away games now aren't we? That was on gettleman. And what does that tell you? We need to be more professional.

The whole locker room thing might be a reach, but he is changing more than just how much players are going to make.
