This nfl.com writer is being sarcastic about #Bannergate, right?

Several Panthers players, either unwilling or incapable of understanding the gravity of the situation, sent tweets taking responsibility for the decision to swipe the banner, painting Newton as a common patsy.

But he also said this...

Quote

It's been a day since North Carolina Army vet Mike Dobs had his man room compromised forever by the scoundrel Cam Newton.

Quote

NFL Media's Patrick Claybon did some digging, calling up FASTSIGNS, a national signage company with a location in Fayetteville. Claybon reports that a 5x3 vinyl sign can be purchased for $119. Dobs valued his sign at $500, though it's unclear who he did business with.

Quote

 

The last word goes to Cam Newton himself, who was asked about the escalating situation on Monday. His response: "What banner?"

We will provide updates to this story as it develops.

 

I think I have detected the carefully hidden, yet subtle scent of snark in this guys article.  Please tell me I'm right about this, I'd hate to read the linked article as a serious piece.

Oh, and one follow-up question with regard to #BannerGate... if Sergeant Major McRacist and his son-in-law Corporal Cracker had NOT intended to tie this banner in a fixed position inside the stadium in opposition to stadium rules, how come they had string attached to the banner (which, we were told, almost amputated poor Corporal Cracker's finger)?

After watching his around the NFL segments he clearly is being a wise ass when he talks about Cam .. he's made it clear numerous times about his dislike for him and our team so him making that kind of statement just proves he's just another Cam hater who takes cheap shots every moment he can.

As some of you may know, logo'd stuff is my business.

I sell banners (and other things) to organizations, companies as well as individuals.

A standard, full color 3' X 5' vinyl banner with grommets is a whopping $45 + freight.

These are not "cheap" banners either they are indoor/outdoor, color-fast banners that can take up to 5 years of uninterrupted all weather abuse.

    • Yeah, I've been torn up all week about this. And I'm going to be honest, you and I don't know poo about what is going on with the team. Are they losing the locker room? Not seeing anything from the players about that, just seeing it on forums like this. Are they concerned? Yeah, I'd think that would be a reasonable assumption. Are they rallying around Bryce? Yeah, that I'm seeing from the stuff we see of the players. Is some of it a bit drummed up, quite possibly. Is some of it genuine care and belief in their teammate, yeah most definitely. What is Morgan going to do? Hell, that was just week 1. And week one is often a liar. Once in a while it tells the truth (and that sure was an ugly one to tell last Sunday). Most often, it's just what it is. Half the teams that played in week one lost. Straight down the middle. Sometimes it was a close game, sometimes it was a blowout. We got punched in the face, had our lunch money stolen and Jacksonville kissed our girlfriend.  Me, I saw a team that wasn't up to speed yet. We were playing like this was the fourth pre-season game like we used to have. We're going to learn a lot about Bryce, this team, our coaching and team management after this week's game. It's against the Cardinals, a team that has always been one of those benchmarks for it. Beat them and good things happen (remember that killer game Julius Peppers had against them), lose and it often starts the fast slide to the bottom again (sadly, that playoff game with Jake...). Right now, the Cardinals have their Bryce Young, except their guy still has a better PR department. They have a meh-ish defense. They have a star WR that is underperforming and was possibly over-drafted. They don't have many stars to speak of and dwell around 3rd-4th place in their division on a regular basis. In other words, they are pretty much on par with us. And they are a forgotten team as well, playing games in obscurity. So, yeah, we're going to learn the tale of the season this weekend. And honestly, if we lose like we just did or worse, and I was Dan Morgan, I'd be working on polishing up that resume`. 
    • Lol I don’t understand why everyone is liking that post and quoting it, it’s from last season. Did I miss something? 
    • At this point, I don't want anymore fools gold from Young. He either needs to be in the MVP conversation  (lol) or I want to get blown out every game until he is off the team. Our front office just isn't bright enough to handle anything in between.
