This might be the most useless article in the history of articles. I expect much ridicule for posting it but it was just so... I just had to post it. That is all.

http://www.nashville.com/music/2011/10/darius-rucker-apologizes-to-cam-newton/

South Carolina native and current resident Darius Rucker has issued an apology to Cam Newton, who was the first-round draft pick for the NFL’s Carolina Panthers. You see, Darius is a huge Gamecock fan, even attending the University of South Carolina, and when football star and Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton helped to blast the singer’s beloved Gamecocks 56-17 in 2010, Darius said the player would never cut it in the NFL. He was way off the mark , and he has since apologized to the rookie quarterback.

“I was one of those who, when he was coming out of college, me being a Gamecock fan and knowing what he did to us and the SEC last year, I was a hater,” Darius told the Charlotte Observer. “I’ll never forget his first [regular-season] game. I told a buddy that Cam is going to get blown up. I would like to apologize to Cam Newton. I was dead wrong.”

“His football IQ is off the charts,” Darius continues. “I love his body language. I love the way he walks down the field. You know he’s a leader. Every day I’m becoming more and more of a Cam Newton fan. If you’d told me last year I’d be saying that, I’d have said you’re crazy.”

I know but I was surfing around looking for Panthers articles and come across "Darius Rucker apologizes to Cam Newton". How do I not read that?? Hootie. I mean he blows fish!! It says so right in the name!!

As Cartman would say, "He likes fish sticks"

Look we all listen to different types of music. Some people will say it sucks cause it aint their type. Just because you dont like hootie doesnt mean they suck. 16,000,000 sold does not equal suck. I am huge fan of hootie and darius. If cam came from a team you hated, you would probably feel the same way. Do just start slinging hate around just because you are not a fan.

Then hate me too cause I hated Cam after what he did to my Gamecocks and Darius is a cool guy he doesn't have a mean bone in his body.. I ate breakfast with him once several years ago.

It was at Waffle House and I was sitting in the booth next to him so I guess I didn't really eat breakfast with him....but I was close. :)

Cam has been forgiven by all Gamecock/Panther fans.

    • We have without question one of the worst QB rooms in the league and your key concern is people having the audacity to be talking about it lol.
    • I saw this list crossing the screen waiting for any Panther.  Chubba, JC Horn and Hunt.  It was a crime to see so many that were not as good as these three.  ESPN is garbage anyhow.
    • Bingo!  We are on the same page.  Our scouting department was average under Hurney, but at least we hit hit it out of the park with our first rounders.  Our scouting department under Tepper's reign with his revolving doors of HCs and GMs has sucked because the scouts largely stay in place.  One or two may change every few years, but the core philosophy stays in place and I believe that to be heavily RAS influenced.    Looking the part of a football player (physical/athletic measurables) vastly outweighs putting on the tape and deep diving into his stats with our scouting department. Until we change that mindset, this team is doomed. Again, how many of us Huddlers (none of us are professional scouts) wanted McConkey over Legette? Yet, we went with XL.  Why?  RAS score, pure and simple.  If you put on the tape and look at the numbers without taking RAS into account, McConkey was the clear choice.
