So watching ESPN First Take right now. They were interviewing Patriots CB Shawn Springs who is considering retirement and going into a broadcasting career. They asked him how he would stop the two quarterbacks in the super bowl. He said that he would just hope a hurricane came through so that neither team could pass the ball.

Now is it just me or did he just hurt his chances on a broadcasting career. I think its pretty funny but hoping a hurricane comes through to stop the Saints passing attack?, surely everyone behind the scenes were gasping :D

Katrina was four years ago, we're allowed to mention the word hurricane in any manner we want in the same sentence as them now. The PC time limit has passed.

Indeed, which is why I don't understand why the Saints are the "sentimental" favorite to win the Super Bowl.

Oh, no!!!!!! Shawn Spings said the only way to stop Brees or Manning was to hope for a hurricane!!!! My goodness, how un-PC that is. It is so disappointing that people do not monitor everything they say to make sure that no one on the planet earth is offended.

You people are so stupid with your "thats not appropriatte." bullshit.

Get over it.

Can you point out who in this thread made a big deal about it (or at least a bigger deal than you)?

Because it seems to me, most agree with you. This thread is just pointing out the obvious -- that hoping for a hurricane to slow down Drew Brees is just a poor choice of words.

I guess we should have held our tongues, so as not to have offended you? Sorry if the discussion isn't appropriate.

Mods, please censor this thread.

Yeah my only point was he was on there to showcase his skills because he'd like to do that kind of work one day. So while I don't give a poo anymore when someone asks you to analyze how to stop the Saints and you say slow them down by a hurricane you know someone somewhere is going to get their panties in a bunch. ESPN isn't going to hire someone if they continually make comments that could be controversial, so he got off to a bad start.

Springs is not in charge of the weather... Its a metaphor, and anyone with any sense understood what he was saying.

Only people STUPID enough to take him literal will be offended..

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
