Yeah, that's a sad situation over there... for 5 of the last 6 years we've had a Belarussian girl (she's 14 now) come and stay with us for 6 weeks in the summer... she gets away from the area, gets better food, medical and dental care here, it's pretty cool. They are great people. They've told us that the children that are able to get out of country for just those 6 weeks a year add years to their lives.

Uh, aren't you Ukranian, ARSEN?

Yes, Yes I am and I'm proud of it. :D

My mom tells me about Chernobyl all the time. I don't remember because I was 1 month old. But she said she grabbed me and left for another country away from radiation cloud. I was like 500-700 miles away from Chernobyl and I got super lucky the wind blew away from where I were. More than 100,000 people died directly and its expected close to 100,000 more to die indirectly because of this accident. My grandpa died of leukemia. Doctors said that he was exposed to too much radiation not sure if Chernobyl related.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
