THIS is the kind of coach we need to be reading about in the national headlines ... not Sandusky et al!!

Ayers went to work at 14 as a garbage collector, and returned to that job after a stint in the Marines:

One day while making the rounds, Ayers said, he was shot in the shoulder by a teenage boy who was even more at-risk.

“I was picking up his garbage,” Ayers said. “He had 10 cans that were turned over and I was cleaning up his mess. And that kid shot me. I told the police I didn't want to press charges. I just wanted the kid to tell me why he shot me. You know what he said? He said, ‘Because you're just a garbage man.'

“He didn't know my heart. He didn't know my dreams. He judged me from what he saw on the outside.”

      I wouldn't mind a deal that would add Rust or Rakell from the Pens. Move Jarvy to 2C, send KK and a prospect to Pittsbhrgh. Pittsburgh is taking calls for both. And both of them have played very well against Carolina.

      I liked James on a personal level. I still do. But he had his flaws too and what's done is done. Charles Lee will get this season to showcase what he's building. If he and the team look like poo he should be on a very hot seat. But I don’t expect that to happen. I could be wrong. But I'd rather not be in this instance. Regardless. At some point we're going to be lucky to hire anyone worth a damn if we keep firing coaches. It's not something any of us should want to see because it's only going to mean yet another reset. Best case scenario is Lee with this infusion of youth establishes a refreshing culture change. We'll see.

      This is preseason fluff, I know he has Buffalo 28 and they might not be are studded but they will perform over expected which can easily happen to the panthers. This is the “name game/franchise name”. I would put us against Green Bay in terms of talent but Green Bay is gonna get the benefit of the doubt
