Recommended Posts

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newtonwas on Capitol Hill on Thursday meeting with North Carolina SenatorKay Hagan about youth mentoring and educational programs.

Newton is one of 20 NFL players who went to D.C. for a United Way summit aimed at reducing the high school dropout rate. Newton accompanied a group of students from Thomasboro Academy in Charlotte to Capitol Hill.

Newton, showing off the Panthers' new Nike jersey in the photo with Hagan below, has said he plans to make youth initiatives the major focus of his charitable foundation.

Tinderbox alert

Cam Newton is a democrat!!!

I would vote to ban all political parties so fugging hard. Nothing worse in this country than the Republicans and Democrats teaching a third each of the country to hate each other while the reasonable third of us have to live in the crossfire.

And for God's sake why are we the only modern country that only gets two candidates for President? Are we that fugging lazy!?!?

    • Sorry man you lost me at "Teppers have evolved as owners". Limped into playoffs at 8-9 not even above .500 Tepper is trash as an owner bro and that's not even a discussion at this point. 37-83 w/l ratio. Nuff said.... Morgan tho, he's cooking and it ain't cuz of Teppers leadership
    • After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...  
    • Canes are so fascinating. Despite inconsistent defense and poor goalie play they keep winning.
