I'm not gonna survive this.

Bury me in my jersey.

quote of the season!

Flying into New Orleans around 3:30 for a conference. Can't wait to get off that plane and waltz through the terminal covered in Panthers gear. If anyone has any sugegstions for good spots to watch the game in and around the hotel distrct/Harrah's/etc, let me know. The only suitable place that I've been to in the area is some bar owned by Archie Manning, I think.

change your diapers during the next break. it's a football game.

hi my name is thomas davis. don't worry, i got this.

5-0, leading at halftime. All teams leave points on the field.

how many times is he gonna do that this season?

Collinsworth and Michaels have been praising the Panthers the entire game...the O line, Short, Kuechly, Davis, Norman, Olsen, Cam, Stewart...

look at olsen.

kid, you can only dream of being kasay

quick touchdown coming up on this drive. yeah.

Meme would be better if it said "FOLLOW ME ON TWATTER"

Ditto.

i cannot contain the funching excitement!

"Not considered a suspect" is different than "cleared as a suspect".  The former means that they have no reason to think of him as a suspect at the time, but that could've potentially changed.  The latter means that they have enough information to clearly determine that he wasn't involved.

Look at you coming in here with your facts and your definitions and your knowledge. We don't need any of that!

So let me get this straight - he has been "cleared as a suspect" even though the PD said prior to the draft that he was "not a suspect?"

Could Parker actually fall to us?! Most likely not but still fun to dream

Lots of pre-draft rumors that the Dolphins hoped he'd be there. We'll see...

Kevin Johnson slips to second round

Going to meet some friends tomorrow night for rounds two and three and will be bringing some of Miss Crumpy's Hot Wings with me (Atlanta residents - if ya don't know now ya know). Staying in tonight with the wifey. Got some Benton's bacon so I'm going to make some fresh pasta when I get home and whip up some carbonara then make some bacon cheddar and fresh herb scones with the leftover bacon.

I didn't realize you spent time in Greensboro. I graduated from there.

Oh yeah? Undergrad in Economics and Urban Planning from 2000-2004; MA in Applied Economics from 2005-2006. When were you there?

I've lived here since 2006, having moved after I finished grad school at UNCG. I've lived in Alpharetta, Midtown, and now Candler Park. Happy to answer any questions you may have via PM.

A few background tidbits:

The Saints traded away their first round pick the year before Bountygate, so there was no first round pick for the NFL to strip that year. Ergo, two second round picks for Bountygate.
