Nothing to See Here- Let's Move Along

[Anybodyhome]

OBJ is last week's news. The baseball bat on the field is months old (I can't remember which week Norman began bringing it out of the tunnel with him), the Giants are officially irrelevant.

And the Panthers have yet to secure home field throughout the playoffs.

These are nothing but distractions- something everyone not wanting the Panthers to continue undefeated needs- that are being manufactured by the feeble-minded. Stop with the conspiracy theories, stop with the innuendo, stop with the rhetoric and start focusing on Sunday's game with the Falcons. I don't think it's going to be nearly as easy as the last meeting.

There is a helluva lot more at stake than OBJ, a baseball bat, a practice squad player or some lunatic notion conceived by media idiots to take people's minds away from the real story.

As silly as it is...no one really talks about Carolina as you would typically see with a 14-0 team.

Generally there is more interest in bannergate, dancegate, batgate, etc.

I actually think the world's focus on everything besides football and trying to find comical ways to hate us....helps us.

What has upset me is Norman's personal expressions come before the team

we have seen his team mates before calming him down or trying to..

 newton played a tremendous commanding game and the Panthers are 14 and 0 despite a defense that sleep walks at times and special teams that have question marks

lonely out on cornerback island but at some point he needs to realize that he does,  can and will hurt his team or he can make his team greater but it isn't all about him

I saw where you're coming from with Norman, but I think he's probably, with the help of teammates at times, held himself back more than you think. You have to realize when someone plays with that much passion, the competitive bug is out. I think he knows it's more than him, he's said it numerous times in interviews. But he ain't gonna take any poo. And if you think you're better than him, you're gonna have to prove it by beating him, and I love that.
