The injury Thursday to Matt Moore — blatantly why we didn’t play anyone that we desperately need to play well immediately — creates a bit of a problem for us Cat fans. Fortunately, he doesn’t appear to be hurt too badly.
Medical tests today on Panthers backup quarterback Matt Moore’s injured left leg were negative and he’s listed as day-to-day, according ...

I beg you, New Yorkers, to not get
fooled. You do not , I repeat, you do
not , have a viable backup quarterback in David Carr. Regardless of what happened on Thursday night. No, seriously. Everyone knows this is not a true sign of what will happen ...
I’ll admit I panicked a little when I switched over to Raycom’s “awesome HD feed” to see Matt Moore playing in the first quarter (NCSU football comes before preseason, sorry) and Jake Delhomme on the sideline. And by “panicked a little”, I actually mean “screamed obscenities and started sobbing gently onto my keyboard”.
Fortunately, ...

I missed Saturday night’s game because I was playing the role of corporate sponsor at Music on the Mountain in Boone , NC, but from everything I’ve read and all the highlights I’ve seen, we kicked so much butt we kicked ass.
And a lot of that whipping was a direct result of DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart going apesmell all over the Redskins. And a lot of that was ...

I’m a big fan of The Sporting News ; they once gave me money to write it’s an old school establishment with good writing that recently relocated to Charlotte and should have a pretty good finger on the pulse of Carolina-styled athletic coverage.
Or, perhaps not. The most recent list that Randy Cross compiled for TSN of the 101 best players in the NFL (which I can’t find ...

Ian Scott was seen — I think — as one of those classic John Fox reclamation projects, the kind of guy that the Panthers could pick up who would produce like an All-Pro at a low-pro price (or perhaps these don’t exist and the Cats just keep taking chances on losers).
But things just didn’t work out and Scott is now adios, amigo.
“He did everything right. He was a ...

DeAngelo Williams v. Jonathan Stewart is easily one of the better starting battles heading into the 2008 season, and certainly one that matters a whole helluva lot of us Cats fans.
I mean, it matters, but it’s not Earth shattering, since both will get run. But it’ll be interesting to see what the administration thinks will get them the most bang for their buck. And despite ...

Hint for all future persons ever driving an expensive car in an urban area at night: if you see people on the corner near you start walking over when you pull up, bust out the old “Reverse” trick.
And Jeff Otah , Panthers rookie lineman, probably wishes his brother knew about that trick, as he is now out of one Cadillac Escalade (although insurance will probably get his ...

Good news on the injury front: Ken Lucas, late of the blackened eye and shattered grill-piece, was back at practice.
Cornerback Ken Lucas returned to practice Saturday for the first time since he broke his nose in a training-camp fight with receiver Steve Smith two weeks ago.
Coach John Fox said he didn’t know if Lucas, who had surgery to repair the nose, would play in next ...

There’s only so much you can take from a preseason game … and most of it’s in the first half. Too bad that entire first half was buried in rain. In good news, Richard Marshall’s rip of an Eagles would-be trick play was pretty B-A; the Iggles tried to flip a fake field goal and Marshall snared it for a nearly 80 yard runback.
Muhsin Muhammad, who I still love, showed ...

Clearly, Spartanburg, SC (hot as absolute sin in the summer and muggy as hell to boot) has been kind to the Panthers this go round in training camp. We’ve had two different fights already, meaning everyone is getting along just cheerfully. And, as Carolina Growl points out , everyone likes it so much there, they rarely bother showering.
Showers don’t matter. Several players ditched ...

Ninjaz, son. Ninjaz.
In super awesome news, the Panthers ( via ITP ) continue to be really happy with one another:
There was a minor fight between offensive tackle Rueben Riley and defensive tackle Nick Hayden in blocking drills. The shoving between the two was capped by Riley taking a boxing stance and popping a couple of left jabs at Hayden, and Hayden’s helmet coming off. The two ...

Thank you all for coming out, however we must announce that we have already confirmed our winner for quote of the year, 2008 edition. Mushin Muhammad, dropping this number (via Peter King, and inexplicably following two Favre quotes)
“That’s right. It’s where receivers go to die.”
–Carolina wide receiver Muhsin Muhammad on his time in Chicago. He returned to ...

Clearly the act of a delusionally concussed man.

Yeah, this guy can lead a team pretty
well. If that wasn’t obvious. Jim Sorgi has a
pretty cush job. Sit there, don’t eff up too badly in the preseason and during the regular season, hand off to Joey Addai’s backup late in ...
Ken Lucas, who you may have heard about, is having surgery to set his nose today. Or at least that’s what we can assume, since John Fox seems to know nothing about it.
“He’s having a procedure, what you call it I don’t know,” said Fox. “But it’s basically setting his nose.”
Fox was asked if Lucas was having the procedure today. “To ...

Steve Smith is sorry about what he did. As he should be. And as noted, maybe this will actually bring the team together. But more importantly, it might make Smith really, really motivated to perform in the 14 games he gets to play. At least that’s the attitude I draw from his recent interview with Pro Football Weekly .
“I feel horrible. That’s the thing I don’t think people realize, ...

When I get punched in the face and my nose gets broken, I do not typically ever say “Wow! That really was a good thing in the long run!” Ken Lucas, apparently, is not me, calling the fight between he and Steve Smith over the weekend a ‘blessing in disguise’ in an interview with the Charlotte Observer .
Q: What do you think about what happened:A: “I feel like ...

Well. Color me dead wrong . And color Steve Smith down to 14 games for the 2008 season, as he was suspended for two regular season contests by the Carolina Panthers on Saturday evening.
“What (Smith) did was wrong and we take very serious and he is being punished severely for it,” Fox said.
The melee came after both players had taken off their helmets in a break for starters ...
