There are bad games where you play below expectations and lose. But when a middling team dominates you, it's something different. I really liked how the commentators made sure to tell you how New England's defense was devastated and they missed Gronk. Every team is missing players at this time of the year. Miami lost their starting QB, middle linebacker, nickel, and running back but not once was that brought up. Plus, Tom Terrific has been growing increasingly salty over the last few weeks; something's up. Pittsburgh is going to beat New England this week and will beat them again if they play later.
Mark my words.
Oh, by the way...Quote:

Panthers owner Jerry Richardson under investigation for workplace misconduct
7:25 PM ET
The Carolina Panthers have opened an investigation into allegations of workplace misconduct against owner and founder Jerry Richardson.
In a statement Friday, team spokesman Steven Drummond acknowledged accusations had been made against Richardson, 81.
"The Carolina Panthers and Mr. Richardson take these allegations very seriously and are fully committed to a full investigation and taking appropriate steps to address and remediate any misconduct," Drummond said. "The entire organization is fully committed to ensuring a safe, comfortable and diverse work environment where all individuals, regardless of sex, race, color, religion, gender, or sexual identity or orientation, are treated fairly and equally. We have work to do to achieve this goal, but we are going to meet it."
The NFL became aware on Friday afternoon that the Panthers had initiated an investigation, a source told ESPN.
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said the league would decline comment at this time.
The investigation is being led by international law firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart and Sullivan, LLP, and will be overseen by minority owner and former White House Chief of Staff Erskine Bowles. Because the matter is under legal review, the Panthers cannot comment publicly on the specifics of the allegations.
"I have had a strong relationship with Mr. Richardson during my time with the Panthers," coach Ron Rivera said in a statement to ESPN. "I have enormous respect for the man, but will wait for the results of the investigation before making any judgment."
Richardson became the first former NFL player since George Halas to own an NFL team when he was awarded an expansion franchise on Oct. 26, 1993.
The Panthers began play two years later in 1995.
Richardson has worked primarily behind the scenes during his tenure with the Panthers and rarely does interviews. But he has been very active through the years with league matters.
Richardson was hospitalized 2008, one month after receiving a pacemaker. Richardson underwent quadruple bypass surgery in 2002 and was placed on a donor waiting list for a new heart. He received the new heart on Feb. 1, 2009, and has not had any known setbacks since.
He is only one of two owners to have owned a franchise since its inception. The other is Houston's Bob McNair.
Information from ESPN's David Newton and The Associated Press was used in this report.
Oh i have no doubt about the steelers,i was talking about-jacksonville,moe's steelers are the only threat to the pats...and they know it!!
Moe, I need your guys to kick some NE butt today. I will not be able to see ya [[and will probably miss the first half of my game) but do your thang Steelers and Let's Go Cowboys!!!!!! This fan is forever loyal.;)
There are so many people hoping for the Steelers [[i.e. they hate NE so much). We need to put some serious JuJu on NE!!!!
One can only hope & pray......
I like both teams actually,just looking forward to this one...[it's nice to see real contenders play]we don't have a team like that here and won't for some time[yeah i still root for the bums,i'm a glutton for punishment].
I didn't see if JuJu is playing today. He was limited in practice this week and listed as questionable on Friday.Quote:

Yo Moe?????? I have to go back and look at your game later this week....
Thanks LA....now let's go BOYZ!!!!!!!!!
Oh and congrats Jai and the Panthers kicked butt!!!...This seems to have been an awesome football day but it's Boyz time....
Watching the highlights on ESPN right now. So, New England benefits from another... interesting call. Looks like a touchdown. Called a score on the field. But in spite of what we thought we knew, it's not a touchdown. Beginning with the Tuck Rule, I'd like to know one time that the Pats ever came out on the bad side of a rule interpretation.
Oh, and tough break about AB. Partially torn calf muscle sounds super painful. Steelers will need him back in the playoffs if they're going to avenge this nonsense.
omg

I like "beak it to ya" better, M.:cool:
LOL....of course you do ...LOL
We should talk soon!!!
I know of no time ever that the Pats took one on the chin. I swear they have bought/sold the refs more than once. But Ben's interception? If I am not mistaken Haley called that misfortune. They could've kicked & gone into OT.
Look out for Jacksonville!!!
Wow moe,what happened...that was the correct call on jesse james,as for big ben he went brain dead just spike the ball and kick the fieldgoal and go to overtime...congrats ms m,your boyz had luck on their side,all carr had to do was run out of bounds with[31sec]left and first and goal and the raiders win instead he played hero and they lost!!

As long as your Birds don't hinder my Boyz I don't have a problem cheering for' em, what else is new?

Diddy, Kaepernick, others could buy Carolina Panthers and make history

If some of the biggest names in sports and entertainment have anything to do with it, the next owner of the Carolina Panthers will be a historic one for the National Football League.
Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, and Golden State Warriors Stephen Curry have all expressed interest in buying the Panthers when it becomes available for sale at the end of the season.
“I will be the best NFL owner that you can imagine,” Diddy said in a video posted to Instagram late Sunday evening. “I will immediately address the Colin Kaepernick situation and put him in the running for next year’s starting quarterback.”
Diddy also posted to Twitter a photo of him from 2003 wearing a Panthers' jersey and said, "It's time!"

Kaepernick, who has has yet to be signed to an NFL team, could make a comeback to the league, but away from the sidelines.
“I want in on the ownership group,” he tweeted back to Combs Monday morning. “Let’s make it happen!”

Curry, tweeted Diddy saying he wanted in as well. Curry is a native of North Carolina and a fan of the Panthers. Former NFL players Greg Jennings, Shawn Merriman, and Maurice Jones-Drew also tweeted their interest.

No African-American has majority ownership of an NFL team. But Diddy, Curry, and Kaepernick wouldn't be the first African-Americans to try.
In 2005, Reggie Fowler, an Arizona businessperson, would have been the first African-American to own an NFL team when he attempted to purchase the Minnesota Vikings. He eventually became a limited partner, but in 2014 lost his partnership.
Other prominent African-Americans have ownership in major franchise sports teams, including Michael Jordan, who is an owner of the Charlotte Hornets [[NBA) and BET co-founder Sheila Johnson who has ownership of the Washington Wizards [[NBA), Washington Mystics [[WNBA), and the Washington Capitals [[NHL).
The interest in the Panthers comes amid allegations that current owner and founder, Jerry Richardson, sexually harassed a female worker and used a racial slur against an African-American employee.
“I believe it is time to turn the franchise over to new ownership," Richardson stated in a letter shared on the Panther’s website Sunday. “We will not begin the sale process, nor will we entertain any inquiries, until the very last game is played. While I will no longer be the team owner, I will always be the Panthers Number One fan.”
He doesn't have enough money to be the majority owner. Not even close. And none of the league owners would ever allow him to buy it. Rightfully so as well.Quote:

I have to agree that Diddy alone doesn’t have then money to pull it off but if you were to add Jay Z into the equation [[and his wife) the money would definitely be there.
Now I don’t care for hip hop and don’t have any love for Diddy or Jay Z but I think it’s only fair to give these two props and say they are savvy businessmen, so I don’t agree they don’t have the right to pursue such a venture.
BUT…. I do agree, the obstacles that would surely be put up by the league could very well be insurmountable.
Damn Sam Jerry Oz… In spite of what this meant for us I actually stayed neutral but next week...come what may... I'm Carolina all the way!!!! LOL
...and yes, I’m on pins and needles right now. Not to mention running low on dirty martini’s.:D
