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.

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)?

Hanzus is the troll that ended the on air segment yesterday about the Panthers with the comment that Cam has a history of theft and claimed he had sticky fingers, while they all laughed.

Time to assemble the Huddle twitter army.

In addition to being a jerk, our Pecker...er cheesehead may be a liar.....

Oh yeah. That's dripping with sarcasm.

The last line is especially clear.

He was probably pissed he had to write about that poo in the first place. That was clever

[Ivan The Awesome]

$119 Dollars for that sign...He said it was $500 dollars...lol. This guy seems Shady. 

[PanthersATL]

"had his man room compromised"

heh.

He probably also has a "No Girlz Alowd" sign

He is a politician. ..

[GhostP.]

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.

Not my take.  He is a cam hater from way back and is loving this.  He is trolling hard, trying to stretch this out.

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.

Hanzus is being a smart ass. I listen to Around the NFL podcast all the time (he's the host). They were basically making fun of the whole situation when they talked about it Monday morning.
