Got my Cam Newton Jersey on!

cam gonna cam

[Swedish Butt-Whistle]

Cam Newton is just 18 yards shy of Peyton Manning’s rookie passing record, but while his passing and rushing skills have surpassed expectations, he still has not mastered the emotional repression required to succeed in the N.F.L. Luckily, the veteran linemen Jordan Gross and Ryan Kalil are giving him lessons in personality suppression. “I have a bad tendency of showing my emotions on my face,” Newton said Wednesday. “I have to change it, and I’m trying to change it. At the quarterback position, you need to stay even-keeled.” Soon, all elements of Newton’s humanity will be airbrushed away, and he will become like the other quarterbots, unwilling and incapable of expressing disappointment or doubt, and only feeling pleasure and pride during the few seconds he is hoisting the Lombardi Trophy. Do not worry, Cam: the assimilation is mostly painless, and your personality grows back about a decade after retirement. Pick: Panthers

Here's hoping for a Christmas Eve we never forget--300 Yards passing 100 yards rushing from Cam... he go HAM

R.J. Stanford will start at CB in place of Captain Munnerlyn who was placed on IR Friday.

Meh at Stanford.

Bucs will be missing both starting DTs -- Haynesworth and Price are inactive. Roy Miller and Frank Okam will start.

WTF start Hogan. Give him some action.

Next year will most likely be Saturday games as well with Christmas Eve falling on Sunday. They held Saturday games in 2005 (we lost to Dallas on a Saturday 1:00 game in which Smitty was ejected, and peppers nearly (probably did) block the fg)
