Weekly Random Thoughts On The Carolina Panthers
The Panthers were on a bye last weekend after beating the Cardinals 25-10. The Panthers are 4-2 and are in sole possession of first place in the NFC South.When David Carr was signed in the offseason, there were people around here who thought Carolina would have a quarterback controversy on their hands by midseason. They were right! But I'm sure they weren't talking about Vinny Testaverde v. Carr.
Testaverde was named the starter for Sunday's game against the Colts, a decision I totally agree with. The Panthers are seven-point dogs at home. That's not enough in my book. Final score: Colts 38 Panthers 17.

The Funniest Thing I Saw On Television All Week
A character on The Boondocks explained his hatred for Bluetooth headsets:"It's not a cybernetic ear, it's a fucking cell phone headset. The only thing you gonna do with it is call a bitch. And unless the bitch is a Martian, there ain't no explanation for the shit to look that damn high-tech. Have you seen that shit in the mirror? You look like you going to a fucking comic book convention."
Reason #319 why The Boondocks is one of the best shows on television.
