Thomas Davis tears his ACL again

Carolina Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis has suffered another big injury. Today at OTA’s, he tore his ACL while backpedaling during a drill.

Adam Schefter chokes on it

Our buddy JA thinks this is hysterical and we like easy ways to add content, so this is a win-win. ESPN’s Adam Schefter tries to give a report about A.J. Feeley signing with the Carolina Panthers last year and he gets all choked up. He continues to choke and choke and hack and spit. This [...]

Panthers cut Delhomme, still don’t want Vick

According to Jay Glazer, the Carolina Panthers have released QB Jake Delhomme. Delhomme got a big contract after stinking up the joint against the Arizona Cardinals in the 2008 playoffs, but clearly he is not someone the organization wants running the show moving forward. “I’m reporting a surprise release, panthers are releasing QB Jake Delhomme, [...]

Vick likes the Carolina Panthers’ uniforms

Anyone remember the episode of “What’s Happening?” when Dwayne comes up with a system for picking football games? Then Rerun’s cousin Ike decides to take Dwayne’s advice and bet $500 (he and his wife’s vacation fund) on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to beat the Oakland Raiders? This was back when the Bucs were horrific and [...]

Redskins to pursue Peppers?

According to Jason Reid of the Washington Post, the Washington Redskins are expected to go after soon-to-be free agent DE Julius Peppers. This isn’t entirely surprising since he’s probably the biggest name on the market, there probably won’t be a cap and Dan Snyder likes to spend tons of money on names regardless of whether [...]

Don’t touch Peppers?

Multiple league sources tell the Boston Globe that they wouldn’t go near free-agent DE Julius Peppers on the open market this offseason. According the sources, for the amount of money he’s going to command, he is much too risky considering his inconsistency and questionable desire to play football. “I wouldn’t touch him, for that money [...]

Gross thinks leg will heal in time for the Super Bowl

Carolina Panthers left tackle Jordan Gross says that his broken tibia and fibula should be healed by the Super Bowl. This is great news for the Panthers if they can find a way to get to that final game. He would provide a huge boost to their offensive line.

Delhomme to injured reserve

Carolina Panthers QB Jake Delhomme is headed to injured reserve, according to Adam Schefter, after he tested his injured finger this week and the swelling continued. This is probably good news for Panthers fans, who have absolutely had it with his lousy play. So, is the Delhomme era over in Charlotte? Could be, but it’s [...]

DeAngelo Williams almost 100%

Carolina Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams is nice and rested after missing last weekend’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.  He sat out due to a bum ankle, but the sprain was not that severe.

DeAngelo Williams inactive, will not play

Carolina Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams is inactive for Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Delhomme unlikely to go

Carolina Panthers starting QB Jake Delhomme is not likely to play this week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After his four-interception performance last week, you’d think it was because he stinks and got benched. But no, it seems like it’s due to injury. “Panthers QB Jake Delhomme unlikely to play Sunday due to finger injury [...]

Dante Wesley has a fine coming

This is just brainless. Carolina Panthers special teams (special as in “we’re all winners”) gunner Dante Wesley made a horrific hit on a defenseless Clifton Smith after he called a fair catch. The ref made the right call to eject this idiot. There is no evidence present to defend Wesley’s decision. Someone will have a [...]
