Foster was the right choice$$$$

Foster Should be the choice that they should make. By signing Foster, they have a top ten back and it will be alot better next year instead of Shelton, goings. Fox likes his running game, so why not sign a guy with great upside. Yes he gets injured, but so does every back in the NFL when you get hit by 300 pond limeman all year long. You have a guy that wants to stay hear, and he knows the play books already. We are in trouble if they dont sign Will(OLB) back. He is a big cat and needs to be part of this D. We need cap money and it will be not fun this off season if we dont get good players in key postions. We need a OLB, so franchise Will and sign Rucker, and Mitchell back. I would like to see Mcree come back for the right price. We need to keep what we have, because it was good enough to go to the playoffs. If we just sign our guys back we will be in great shape. Let the NFL draft do all the work for us. We needed a another threat besides Smith and a lefttackle, but first we must have our foundation built first and thats to sign our free agents back. Draft a TE and tackle in the first two rounds and that should be a big upgrade over last year. Thier is some good TE'S in this years draft, so why not get another weapon for Jake. He can start right away I assume. We also need a tackle because I heard that wharton, or Mathis is moving to the guard spot. Wharton is alright, but a big first round lineman will do wonders for this team. It will make it into one of the best lines in football if we draft a lineman fisrt round that is, because he can start right away and be a big impact. So keep foster give him a line so he wont get injured as much and he will be as good as the rest of the runningback crop that is out there. The reason why they do so well is you look at edge and Shaun, they both have big lines. Look at dallas or denver, I could go on and on, but with foster and a good line the Offence will be better. If they still have a good D come preseason then I assume the panthers will do pretty well next year. By the way the have a very hard schedule next year, so if they make it into the playoffs next year then they will have to earn it. Pittsburg had a hard road ahead of them last year and they won it all. Seahawks had a cake walk last year and we see who won the Superbowl, so maybe it will make the panthers tough enough to win it all.

I've heard of 50 cent,now let me get my two cents about those tarheels!!!!

The tarheels rank #21 and has a 8-4 conference record. Who would have thought of Roy coming to Caroilna and winning the big one and losing his whole team mostly to the nba draft and other league's. They were not soposed to be in the mix of things. Guess what ,they are and Tyler is the man in the paint, we all know that to be true. He is tough and rough and he will blow your house down ,because he will fight you on every touch of the ball. The man that I like is yeah! Bobby Fasor he will be good at the piontguard postion, but mostly its R. Terry because he is the man that has great upside. Let me explain ,most teams have two maybe three stars on thier teams in the ACC if they are good that is. UNC some how got two from Tlyer and Terry in the fact thier good, dam good, both will be all ACC. I think you might not like terry as a star, because he did not start on in his first two years as a Tarheel. Man let me tell you, he has come into his own of lately. He is 6 foot 8 and and can play SF or SG, along with snaching rebounds from bigger players. He has a average of 14.4 points a game along with 6.0 rebounds and is capable of hitting some big shots ,like in last wake game we played. Frasor can play point and Noel Noel can do anything he wants when he wants to play. Noel can pass play D and shoot from the outside from time to time. Bottom line is this team will go beyond and above what people thought they were going to do. They will go to the sweet 16 and get put out by a buzzer beater. Next year watch out because The Tarheels will win another title with that strong class they have coming next year.

Nascar not favorite,but good fun going to live race( me +pops)

Jaybird and his wife lynn at the STL game!

The Birds word on those STLcardinals

I heard that Ric Ankeil did pretty well last year in the minors. He hit 21 homers and 75 rbi's in 85 games. That is not to bad, and will move up to classAAA, I think he was in classAA last season. We already have a slu of OF anyways. We have Larry Bigbie, So Taguchi, and John Rodriguez fighting for a spot on the main roster. We will get pretty okay prodution from Edmonds, and Juan on the RF and CF spots. If Juan can give us 20 homers and 80 rbi's that will be enough. Edmonds needs to bumb up his Offence to maybe 30 homers and 100 rbi's. I personaly think JRod will get the start, he has been hot this offseason in other leagues. Dont know what spivey will bring at second, maybe a little pop will be nice, 13+ homers, .280 BA. You know what you will get from Ecto, its pure energy like spock. He will match last years #. Molina he does enough on defence, were it does not matter what he hits, but he is the better hitter out of all his brothers. Rolen stay heathy, and puljus, just kep smackem. The final thought on Ofence is they got no production from larry and mostly Reggie because they were hurt off and on all last year. We have had deferent 2nd baseman each time in the last three years, and all have produced. My piont is we should be just as good as last year team, but for cheaper.
Matt morris was on a steady decline but still produced, he will be replaced from the 4 spot by Jason M. , he is not bad for a 4 spot. We bring back Carp, Mulder, Suppon, and they have won their share of games, and that is a playoff squad with a 123 punch . Suppon is a cool #3 starter with 16 wins in two years, 15 for three years in his career.Aj Burnett has not evan won more than 12 and he was the talk of the off season, yet we sined Suppon to anther deal. Everybody says we the cardinals have not done good this offseason, and will not be back. I got news for you ,we spent our money well. We got bargains at each deal we made. We also left room for a trade in the middle of the season with Jason M, Reyes, and 3 okay out feilders. We also got Ponson for cheap, and if he produces, then Walt will be none the smarter. Reyes the 24 year old kid that pitched very fine last year for the short time he played is soposed to be better than morris was when he was scouted and him or wainwright will get a shot at the 5 spot. The bullpen will be fine, with Izzo and looper we should be fine. The only person that we should not let go from the bullpen was JuanTaverez, he had some stuff. King on the other had was on decline and could be replaced easy by a number of people. The cards will be fine next year, if their not by allstar break or trading deadline thier is alot of players that are close to the end of thie contract and could be traded for next year.example's are Edmonds, Suppon, Mulder, Jason M, Jason I, or Reyes if not panned out, but i doubt they trade him, Wainwgight could go though and the right deal. We will see shortly, cause the Astros and the cubs are not that good.

things in sports that make me grumble

They were talking about this on the mike and mike show. I cant get them on the phone and talk about this , but i will tell who every wants to read this. The # 1 thing that totally pisses me off is that espn insider . You log on espn and try to get good info, and the good stuff is on insder and you have to pay a fee every month. That is so stupid because i can get the same info they get for free from the same sights most of the time. Its a rip off and thier espn web page is always slow. The #2 thing that gets me going is the Heard on that radio show. He is so stupid its unreal. All he talks is football with a one sided view on everything 90% of the time. He has nothing on crunch time. I like tony when he was on the radio, and I like mike and mike, the rest evan Dan sucks most of the time, cause he repeats mike and mike show on the same topics, he is also the A white crusty, bad hair honkey that every tried to get street credit. The thing is with crunch time you get defferent views and they have never once been angry towards people calling that make no sence when they talk, thier nice to people, were as dan is GOD as he thinks. I have listen for awhile and they had plenty of chances to rip people but they dont most of the time on crunch time. Next I hate college football without a playoff , enough said. I hate big east basketball thinking thier better than the ACC. I also hate Dallas Cowboys, TO ,Duke, State,lakers, yankees, boston, cubs ,and that racist Barry Bonds. He complains about anything. I am making anybody mad yet! I also hate the fact UNCW got screwed last year in a NIT bearth. They took the NY market with drexel, hostfra. Thats about it if anybody whats to respond ( damit do so)

lets get creative with next years panthers roster!

Lets get a little creative with the panthers roster for next year, because they will have to be, because of their cap problems. Lets start off with the D side and say that the D line will be just as good if healthy, so draft for protection in the later rounds of the draft and everything will be peachy in that area. With that being said, the next thing would be too, please sign Will Wetherspoon back. The panthers have very fast linebackers with morgan and Will. Out of 100 in ranked speed the rank for the speed of the olbs would be 85 or so and that is pretty good. That means they can drop back or rush, and when you have that, it is very dangerous and versitile , thats why they pounded the falcons this year. They still need another OLB and try to find away to keep Will. They franchise tag Will and put Chris Draft in at the OLB spot. He is fast and needs to play, they already have a back up at ILB with seward or what every his name is that they drafted last year. We already have two of the best CB in Gamble,Lucas, so we are weak at FS. Sign Mcree back for a small amounnt or just put T Davis at FS spot , he has alot of games under his belt now that the season has ended and like draft he needs to play.
Now with the offence: I herd rumors of K robenson being linked to the carolinas and big cap # for the vikings. He will be a good fit if for the right price, or J Jerviuos from seattle for a good price of course. That will be okay for the WR spot but before all of that you build teams with the foundation coming first just like a house because you need the suport right!. That means we should bulk up the O line before we do anything, That is easy just draft a O linman in round one and draft a TE in round two since their is a good crop of TE in this years draft you should be able to pick up the Notredam TE that is pretty dang good. If they get a OT , then that would give us a big LT,WhaleLG,whartonRG, grossRT and hopefully mitchell as our starting O line. Anybody we get to run will be productive with that line. Dont draft a running back, either get TJ duckett or trade for R williams which i have heard rumors on both about them coming. Thier is also a lot of HB in the free agent market, if we redo peppers and some others ,and dont sign S davis , maybe we could get won of those big dogs like Edge or Shaun, but I dont think so. If we get Foster at a good deal, maybe as a last resort that will be cool, but i like the HBs in this years free agent list. What do you think they will do?

UNCW should be ranked at end of season?

UNCW has 19 wins and a chance to win more. They have a hard game wednesday night in trask. If they beat (hog straw) and then VCU , should they be ranked in the top 25. My piont is they have won the BCS tourney this year and ranked 43rd in rpi rankings as of last week. They beat George Mason and Mason has beaten them, so their resume is pretty dam good this year. George Mason got two votes in last week top 25 poll. Uncw is just as good as they are, if not better, because of thier great coaching and strong defence. If the UNCW seahawks win out the regular season will they be ranked?
