Mario Williams on Cover of ESPN the Magazine
Want to talk about making an impact in the BIG TIME?

Carolina Panthers/NFL Pre-Season Thread
Like a long-lost friend, football is back! The Panthers open their pre-season slate tonight, and many questions abound. Can our old friend Muhsin Muhammad fill the black hole that has been #2 WR ever since…Moose left the first time? Is Dwayne Jarrett a complete bust? Is Jeff Otah the last puzzle piece for the OL, […]

Chargers, Rivers Advance to AFC Championship
Wow…This guy (or gal) has got to feel even more stupid today than he did when he wrote the following comments just a day after Philip Rivers threw for almost 300 yards and was 12-for-19 for 196 yards and a touchdown (128.6 rating) in the second half of the Chargers’ playoff win against the Tennessee […]
