McNabb's been in the news recently for two stories.

First, some Washington radio sports hosts are convinced that he refused to wear a wristband because he thought it made him look stupid. A bunch of you likely saw this story on PFT.

I remember not long ago posters here were talking about the racism McNabb has faced in the past... and hell, he's gotten his share of lumps for one reason or another. But that story took a ridiculous turn recently, when a boxer Bernard Hopkins said that McNabb "had a suntan".

Hopkins also invoked race, pointing to his own dark skin and telling reporters: "Forget this. (McNabb's) got a suntan. That's all."

apparently he's not black enough because he isn't tough enough.

I've heard people say McNabb was soft before.

“Why do you think McNabb felt he was betrayed?” Hopkins continued, according to the website. “Because McNabb is the guy in the house, while everybody else is on the field. He’s the one who got the extra coat. The extra servings. ‘You’re our boy.’ He thought he was one of them.”

also an interesting quote from that story.

it's pretty sad. just goes to show that no one group of people has the corner on hatred.

WTF is he talking about? Has Bernard ever played the game of NFL football? if he hasn't then he needs to shut the hell up. Was he talking about when Mcnabb was benched or does he think he's supposed to play on offense and defense?

From what i understand he's been on McNabb's case for along time now.

Hopkins is a Philly guy... Take that for what its worth.

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      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

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      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.
