Nice interview with Cam. Loved the bits about his relationship with Kuechly and his work with kids.

edit:

The other thing is that Cam's passing production really isn't on par with those guys. He has better numbers than Andrew Luck did during his first season, but Cam can't make the same winners' argument that's spurring Luck into the group right now. Two years in, Cam's completing only 58.9 percent of his passes; he's averaging a robust 7.9 yards per attempt, which is impressive, but Russell Wilson and RG3 can do that while completing 64-65 percent of their throws.

This sticks in my craw. Barnwell points out that Cam's "only completing 58.9%", but then glosses over Luck's far worse 54.1% (actually he never even mentions it). Then he lamely brings up a subjective argument as to why his production isn't on par.

Happy hump day.

Another day closer to football.

Today I'm curious if you have any SuperBowl traditions? Luckily, 7 of my close friends are all football fans (rare in the UK) and strangely we all support different teams. We get together every Sunday to watch football together and we go away every year for the SuperBowl.We normally rent a lodge cabin or something and have a weekend of drinking games and the like.

Last year I made penalty flags which everyone used to report drinking game violations, and everyone also had a challenge flag which they could use to either challenge a violation or to challenge any fact that someone else had stated. That was pretty fun.

That sounds awesome.

I don't have any Super Bowl traditions except getting pizza. And I'll never watch big games with friends if my team is involved.

[Training camp anticipation rankings]

28. Houston Texans (6 points). The Texans added DeAndre Hopkins and an over-the-hill Ed Reed, building a team perfectly suited to win the AFC South, beat the Bengals in the playoffs, and lose to a stronger contender in the next round. They aren't the best at what they do. They are the only ones who do what they do.

27. Detroit Lions (6 points). You have Reggie Bush and the Stafford contract angle, but otherwise these are the same guys we have seen for years since the end of that time of tragedy known to historians as The Millening. The Lions don't officially get guano crazy until the season begins and the real late hitting starts.

...

10. San Diego Chargers (15 points). This may be a fluke in the system: most humans who don't live within 100 miles of Mission Beach are more interested in the Seahawks (or the Bears, or lawn mulch) than the moribund, star-power-challenged 2013 Chargers. The organization is new from the top down, but Tom Telesco and Mike McCoy aren't exactly Bill Parcells and Bill Belichick in terms of name recognition, though Ken Whisenhunt adds some curiosity to the coaching staff. Yes, Manti Te'o counts as a "rookie to watch." His jersey is currently the hottest seller among rookies, though I fear that we could all be getting punked, and "Te'o jersey" is actually hip slang for going shirtless.

There are some in our group who refuse to watch games which their teams are involved in because they know they are going to get the shit ripped out of them the entire time.

It's less apparent now because we all rib each others fantasy players anyway.

Haha, yeah, that sounds like me. Although I don't care about my friends giving me shit, I just like to enjoy my team in silence. I usually show no emotion while watching football, so if I'm not refreshing GAF I'm just zoned out while watching the games.

The Seahawks game last year was awful though. It was pretty much an entire bar of people cracking jokes as I sat in shock at the call. My friends still make Golden Tate references today.

When I'm really into a game, I have no problem with screaming and jumping around out of either joy or anger. My roommates and previously my parents did mind for some reason, especially during night games.

During games when there are people around I'm a lot more composed, so I enjoy them less. Plus I have to explain shit all the time, which I hate.

I don't think I've ever jumped around or screamed because of a football game. My heart is usually racing, but that's about it.

Although that applies to most things for me. I get into it, but I'm pretty reserved when it comes to showing it.

All it took was a phone call, and the New Jersey State Police were at their beck and call, ready to provide a celebrity, professional athlete or any other VIP with an escort — wherever they needed to go.

That’s according to a retiring state police sergeant who led a high-speed caravan of sports cars to Atlantic City in an incident that became known as "Death Race 2012."

Sports broadcaster Joe Buck and his frequent on-air sidekick, former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. Tennis bad boy John McEnroe. Those — none of whom responded to requests for comment — and so many others benefited, Sgt. 1st Class Nadir Nassry said Tuesday.

I knew about Brandon Jacobs, but Jerry Jones of all people.

Is Donald Driver gonna stay retired? That was my dude in Madden. He could catch anything over the middle. But only with Favre. Not Erron. Because Favre was better.

They're actually similar if you take out the first two seasons Stafford didn't play cause of injuries.

Peyton had his worst season at 3-13, Stafford had it last year with 4-12, but they both helped their teams to a playoff berth in the second season.
