Posted by Chris Harris over on the Cat Scratch Reader:

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 frankw · Posted

      I think the Bevell hire has more to do with adding actual veteran head coaching experience to the staff than anything else. But I do wholeheartedly agree that the obsession in general with Seattle needs to come to an end. I mean we plucked the one guy there to be our GM who turned out to be our worst GM in franchise history in just a few short years and that's really saying something given our history there. Clearly trying to mimick Seattle in any way has not been productive. As far as Idzik many of us have asked the same question but at this point in time it doesn't really matter anymore because Canales is either going to lead this franchise to a winning record or he will be shown the door.

      By strato · Posted

      That’s why Bevell is a good move. Idzik might not be chopped liver, he is just inexperienced and even less ready to be the play caller than Canales. I still say the playbook is limited which is a hinderance to calling plays, I would imagine.    Anyway Beavis lol… no Bevell, got to consecutive SBs as an OC and won one with 48 points or something. Should have won the second one. And had several more good years there.    They were the team we had to learn how to beat it took us til the third year I think before we could go into Seattle and successfully compete.   That is glass half full thinking, yep, but that is head and shoulders over what we have had here for a while. Certainly now.     In addition.. It was Canales’ boss. He knew more then , I would bet he knows more now. I can’t look at this as anything but a potential positive thing.  Hell he might be the guy that can look at Dave and say what the fug are you doing? And Dave will listen. I think I can hope for that.  Maybe not.
