FWIW, I've fractured a rib before, and it hurts like hell twisting doing anything like that for about 2 weeks. After that, it just feels like a big bruise. It really isn't as bad as it sounds. The worst part for me was sleeping.

8/25/2014 3:11:42 PM

i'd trust his opinion considering his username

8/25/2014 3:14:08 PM

Looks like Newton was trying to cut block that guy for himself.

8/25/2014 3:32:16 PM

lol

8/25/2014 3:32:19 PM

Maybe they will get #1 pick.

8/26/2014 11:26:07 PM

well, Jerry Jones might trade it to us if he thinks Jonathan Stewart is the next Emmitt Smith

8/26/2014 11:33:25 PM

Cam Newton and RGIII need to go to the same slide guru.

8/26/2014 11:38:06 PM

So should we expect Cam to play in Week 1 or is that still up in the air?

"Question: Do you have any doubt you’ll be in the starting lineup in Week 1? Newton: There’s no doubt in my mind. Like I said, I’m just going to worry about the things I can control. I’m going to continue to come in and get as much treatment as possible so my body will be 100 percent."

He'll play, even if they have to shoot him up with cortisone before the game.

Stephen Hill, cut by the Jets, is working out for the Panthers

9/1/2014 1:55:20 PM

I love SCP's game threads on Carolina Huddle

Quote :

"Ok fellow jackasses, its here. To hell with the Steelers preseason game. I'm tired of waiting and I'm ready to see some real football. Bucs week starts today damnit, the 2014 NFL season is upon us. Color me SHOCKED that our Panthers are projected to regress and suck again. Meanwhile, every other team from the NFCS and NFCN and NFCW are projected to win the Super Bowl this year at the same time for the first eleven way split of the Lombardi trophy. At least that is the consensus if you read the endless articles that have been tirelessly copied and pasted over and over again by sports journalists. The narratives and regurgitated nonsense from this summer are full of more poop than a Golden Coral bathroom on Dale Mabry Dr. after an all you can eat meatloaf extravaganza. Speaking of Dale Mabry Dr, our Panthers are heading south on a little trip to play the all-of-the-sudden unbeatable ass-pirates of Tampa Bay. And what’s worse than some lukewarm Golden Coral all-you-can-eat meatloaf coated in generic ketchup? Bucs fans. Grown men who wear fake beards and eye patches and gleefully chant “It’s a Bucs Life” while air brushing swashbuckling scars on each other’s asses to make their costumes more authentic. “Arrrrggggh! Don’t forget to make my beard look scraggly!” they squeal as they share a box of Franzia wine and paint each others faces. Well yo freaking ho, its 2014 and some Bluegreen Resort time share salesman and a roof cleaning expert dressing up as pirates on Sundays is neither intimidating nor tough. No matter how much you guys spend at the Dollar Store on eye patches and feather boas, your pirate shtick is more pansy than the Nissan Cube you rolled up to the tailgate in. I’m willing to bet that mini-turkey and humus sandwiches with the crust cut off is tailgate staple for most of the Jack Sparrow wanna-be’s. But hey, a new day has dawned in Tampa. The rednecks form Hillsborough and Polk counties have been rejuvenated and emboldened. They are waking up in their 1972 Shasta 1400 Campers and shaking off the rust from a 4 year hangover of Budweiser and horrible Bucs football. So Buc nation, the bandwagon cavalry is on the way to save the manhood of pirate clad Bucs fans. As for the game on Sunday, we have all heard the storylines ad nauseam. Our o-line stinks. We have no receivers. We lost our midget cornerback. Jerry charges too much for bar-b-que and our huge scoreboards show too many ads. At least they put in escalators to help all the whining fat asses up to the 300 level and they don’t reverse them until after halftime so the wine and cheese assholes are at least stuck at the game until the 3rd quarter. I will continue to use the ramps (not really) and leave the 500 level escalators for the old people and the 425lb loser in the Roethlisberger jersey. On the flipside the Bucs are full of supermen with the greatest coach on earth. Well I read between the lines and see an under achieving coach leaning on a starting QB who in a 15 month span has played for the Arizona Cardinals, Detroit Lions, Oakland Raiders, Miami Dolphins, Carolina Panthers, Hartford Colonials, San Francisco 49ers and Chicago Bears. When under center, your back-up QB looks like an albino giraffe drinking water (google that poo if you need to see what that looks like). Your defense might be tough with Geraldine and the back end but we have the real Superman under center and a rookie guard that is going to truck Lavonte David so hard that Chris Simms spleen is going to have to seek counseling. My prediction is that our defensive front 7 will whip that Tampa o-line so bad that they will sit down to pee the rest of the season. It will be a defensive struggle but in the end there will be a caravan of Bucs fans with pirate face paint running down their collective faces, leaving Ray-J stadium in their PT Cruisers, Nissan Cubes, Scion xBs, and Kia Sedonas. The Lovie Era will begin like the Schianno Era ended. Panthers 17 Bucs 10 "

Stephen Hill signed to Panthers practice squad today. I love the move. No risk signing him to the PS and maybe Proehl can develop him into something decent.

From NFL.com:
"Hill went unclaimed on waivers, a somewhat surprising development for a 23-year-old former second-round pick with size (6-foot-4) and speed (4.36 40-yard dash time in the combine). Hill is just one year older than Kelvin Benjamin, the Panthers' first-round pick."

9/2/2014 5:51:44 PM

^Yeah Hill is just one year older than Benjamin, but Hill has yet to prove he can be even remotely useful in the NFL. Another story of a guy with crazy athleticism and combine numbers, but poor production. From everything I've read he has worse hands than LaFell, isn't a good blocker, and is really sloppy on his routes.

On the bright side, all of the things that Hill is bad with, can be taught. We just have to hope Proehl can work wonders. Maybe Hill will be ready for a roster spot next season.

so he's basically like drew carter with knees that still work.

pass.

9/3/2014 9:54:27 AM

Probably a lost cause, but if Proehl and Gettleman think he was worth a spot on the practice squad, who am I to argue. Even if all he can be taught is to run really fast in a straight line and catch the ball, that's enough.

This one had me loling in the office,

9/4/2014 6:09:37 PM

Jonathan Jones ?@jjones9 5m
DeAngelo Williams tells reporters "he's not limited today!" talking about Newton

Joe Person ?@josephperson 1m
Cam Newton was throwing today at Panthers practice. DeAngelo Williams provided injury update, telling reporters Cam was not limited today.

9/5/2014 11:58:45 AM

9/6/2014 12:51:13 PM

"not expected to start"

9/7/2014 12:10:05 PM

9/7/2014 12:29:11 PM

9/7/2014 2:57:45 PM

Bucs out here looking like a damn arena league team with those jerseys

9/7/2014 4:27:17 PM

Shula going to the bag of tricks early...

9/7/2014 4:28:41 PM

Any online streams anywhere?

9/7/2014 4:29:21 PM

Need Joe Webb in the game

9/7/2014 4:34:40 PM

anderson lumbering for 7 yards lol...not as limber as Cam back there.

[Edited on September 7, 2014 at 4:37 PM. Reason : check that...9 yards]

9/7/2014 4:36:37 PM

I like DeAngelo and Stewart, don't get me wrong...but are they really "one of the most deadly 1-2 combinations in football"?

9/7/2014 4:39:56 PM

Benjamin is good

9/7/2014 4:41:40 PM

so far this year ive been more impressed with anderson than newton

^ agree, think all he needs to do is stay healthy and he will be around for a while


[Edited on September 7, 2014 at 4:42 PM. Reason : ]

9/7/2014 4:47:44 PM

Giraffe would've taken the sack

9/7/2014 4:47:46 PM

True

9/7/2014 4:56:46 PM

9/7/2014 5:02:01 PM

Gotta give Shula some credit. Good play calls so far.

9/7/2014 5:04:38 PM

Derek Anderson... not too bad...

9/7/2014 5:05:18 PM

This defense is just so good--I'd love to see TB go scoreless today.

9/7/2014 5:09:54 PM

9/7/2014 5:10:42 PM

are the bucs wearing the "MG" patch in memory of mike glennon's career?

9/7/2014 5:10:55 PM

So the ref was doug martin's principal. Neat.

9/7/2014 5:15:27 PM

One of the refs was Doug Martin's high school principal? Conflict of interest...c'mon man

9/7/2014 5:15:42 PM

Ed Hochuli was his gym coach

9/7/2014 5:17:28 PM

Maybe Martin was a little jackass in school and now he gets to get even?

9/7/2014 5:26:01 PM

Beautiful half of football. 10-point lead isn't great, but we just need the defense to keep playing well and the offense to keep being efficient as fuck.

9/7/2014 5:35:10 PM

Yeah that was a good half of football. Wish we coulda gotten more than 10 on the board...but the way this D is playing, we'll be fine.

That half was about as good as you could've asked for

9/7/2014 5:41:35 PM

lol @ gano
