Probably not a surprise to most, but hell yeah we finally got Thomas Davis in the Pro Bowl! Bout freaking time!

"Quarterback Cam Newton finished second overall with 701,086 fan votes, just 468 shy of the leading vote-getter, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. Additionally, eight Panthers led their respective position groups: center Ryan Kalil, guard Trai Turner, fullback Mike Tolbert, inside linebacker Luke Kuechly, outside linebacker Thomas Davis, cornerback Josh Norman, free safety Kurt Coleman and special teamer Joe Webb. Including Newton, defensive tackle Kawann Short, tight end Greg Olsen and tackleMichael Oher were the second-place vote getters."

This is only fan votes. Players and coaches still need to vote and the results come out on Tuesday.

Luckily players and coaches have always known that TD is a bad man. The problem in the past has been casual yet moronic fans voting for OLB's strictly off of sack numbers. Problem solved now

I know. But still... Chances are that these are the guys we'll send to Hawaii 

I don't know, it's possible. Doubt Oher gets in and doubt Webb gets in, but we'll see. Of course, none of our players will be playing in the game.

Anyone else remember the Oher doubters? While those that were levelheaded said to let's see him play first. I wonder what happened to those people

The doubters? They are still here right along with the Shula Haters, Cam Critics, and the rest.  Remember they are the realists while the level headed ones were the fan boys and knob slobbers who didnt know what we were talking about.  Funny how that worm has turned this year and the so called realists are suddenly quiet and hiding until they have the next thing to bitch about and criticize.

I'm still a Shula hater. I think they just unplugged his mic and letting Braylon call the plays.

Then you will be happy when he gets a head coaching job and leaves until we hire his replacement and go back to scoring in the low 20s unless they promote from within and leave Shula's system in place now that Cam has mastered it.

If you think Shula is responsible for 10 points per game you're nuts.

    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.  
    • Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.  
    • I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
