The “Window” is Slammed Shut

A Day of Cuts:  Jake Delhomme, Kemo, Damione Lewis, Na’il Diggs, Landon Johnson - all cut today.  The cuts happened to quickly that I very well may have forgotten about someone.  While the loss Delhomme won’t mean any more football-wise than any of those others players – arguably, his loss will mean less than the other [...]

A Must-Read on Julius Peppers

Pat Yasinskas has written a great article on his NFC South Blog about Julius Peppers’ tenure with the Carolina Panthers.  There is no Earth-shattering information in the article, but it is one of the very few biographical articles that have been written about Pep.  As the article says, no one really knows Peppers.  Yasinskas, however, had [...]

Richardson Gets New Heart
