Anyone else watching the HOF ceremony? Sharpe's speech almost made me cry, but Faulk's was wayyyyy long. Deion will close out the night. Richard Dent's speech felt like it went on forever as well.

Eh, in my opinion if you ask me, I feel that people should be given as much time as they want to speak on an occasion like this. You only get into the Hall of Fame once and I don't blame Faulk or Dent for taking up time. It takes a LIFETIME to practically get there and for both of them, it was a moment where they finally achieved the ultimate destination that most players dream of from the time they start playing football as a youth til the day they get in.

Derrick Mason signs with the Jets. 8th receiver taken in the 1997 NFL Draft and he's the only one of them still playing. I wonder how many teams kick themselves over NOT taking him.

I have no issue buying in to the Panther team. I have massive issue buying in to Cam Newton or Jimmy Clausen. I've heard a lot of good things concerning Cam....and Jimmy to a lesser extent... I mean if Cam can just have a decent season I think we can reasonably be a 7-9 team based on our running game and defense... I don't think that anyone will really know how Cam is going to do until week 1, I mean in camp your QB isn't getting pressured/hit, the speed of the game isn't the same as it will be once the season gets started, etc. It's a crapshoot really.

Is it just me or was the match-up between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers was purposefully on Thanksgiving so we could have Brother vs. Brother on Thanksgiving? ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png)

I fully expect a live cut in to the Harbaugh Thanksgiving meal at halftime.

Steve Smith blames former HC John Fox's system, and not his age, for his decreased production the past two seasons.
"I respect coach Fox and I respect the offensive coordinators that have been here. But at the same time I'm a wide receiver. Run blocking is not my forte," Smith said. "It is nice to have layers, have multiple sets, not to just be stacking to one spot for 70 plays. I get to line up in different spots. It's just refreshing."
Anyone saying Steve Smith has "declined" obviously doesn't watch Panther games.
You can only do so much when your stuck with a run heavy coach and quarterbacks who couldn't hit an open receiver if their lives depended on it.
If your just looking at numbers, then you would think he fell in a black hole. But you can't just look at numbers.

Considering this is Dallas, I have to wonder if Reid just wanted to f*** with them about signing Free. Make Dallas waste more time on Free and not focus on other needs.

Having watched Carter with the Skins, he's a true pro. More suited for the 4-3 than the 3-4.
