You guys wanna hang out for a little while this weekend? Come on... Say "yes."

If you're gonna be in the Charlotte area this weekend, nix whatever plans you've already planned for yourself and head out to my teammate Jordan Gross' Celebrity Kickball Tournament, benefiting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Jordan's beautiful three year old niece, Brooklyn, was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis shortly after her birth in 2005, and him and his wife, Dana, are doing a great job of bringing more awareness to the disease. Unfortunately, there's currently not a cure for CF, but, hopefully by bringing more attention and donation dollars to studies striving to eliminate it, a remedy can be discovered, sooner rather than later.

I can't express to ya enough how pumped I am for this tournament - it's going to be so much fun. Myself, along with Jordan, Steve Smith, Matt Moore, Ryan Kalil, Kenny Moore, and, I'm sure, many others will be out there playing around like little kids. And, you know, I'll probably kick a few homeruns, because - and my Terry Elementary classmates from Little Rock can vouch for me on this - I was the kickball champ back in the day, and there's no way I've lost my skills over the course of the past twenty years.

So come on out, watch the game, grab some autographs, and support a great cause, okay? It's gonna be a big 'ole time.

The game starts at 3pm at Providence High School (1800 Pineville-Matthews Road, Charlotte, NC, 28270), but the gates open at 1:30pm. For more information, visit: KickCF.com

Looks like good fun for a great cause!

I went two years ago and it was a blast. The players are really laid back, will sign and mingle after the game for a bit. They do have an auction where some big money flies and it's all for a great cause.

Unfortunately I can't make it this year, but I'd go every year for sure.

Smitty won the most expensive auction item which as a trip to the Pro Bowl in Hawaii.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By OldhamA · Posted

      I think you have to factor in that we're still not an attractive proposition for Head Coaches. You're not getting the cream of the crop if you fire Canales a year after winning the NFC South, especially considering the situation he walked into.

      Yeah, I was about to say I hope he's doing okay health-wise because he's not looking good in that pic.

      Honestly, I dont  think he should be on the hot seat yet. A bad start to next year, then yes. Despite our mistakes on play calling this past season, we played better than anticipated overall. Bryce showed improvement and maturity (although still not nowhere close to our expectations). Better record and 2-15 to 5-12 to 8-9. Despite what we feel the stats dont lie we are improving by 3 wins a year. Could 11-6 be our expectation. That's a high bar but at the rate we are going, thats what its looking like. We all want to see a 5-12 to a 13-4 record but we are methodically moving up. Success doesnt happen overnight (well in most cases).  IMO we are struggling mostly on the defensive end. LB and edge are our biggest weakness. I see Bryce making improvements (even though I was a Bryce hater) next year. Biggest concern is LT on offense. How to fix this? We need a big name edge or to trade up and get a big name edge or LB and pick up one in FA and draft one. Also if in the 3rd we can pick up a TE. Dont know if Sanders is the answer or Tremble (even though I love Trembles blocking and power after the catch). If these two can get their footwork together they would be great. Maybe all they need is a better TE coach. And if Brooks can stay healthy and be the back we thought he could be, man that would be great
