Just a couple of days, Steve Smith was injured in practice and it was speculated early on that the injury could be serious. However, it turns out Smith suffered a minor injury. In fact, Smith is already back at practice for the Carolina Panthers.
“It doesn’t hurt as much,” said Smith. “Sleep is kind of difficult, but it’s all right.”
This is obviously great news for the Panthers. Smith is one of the best wide receivers in the NFL and his big play ability is invaluable. Without Smith, the Panthers’ hopes of bringing home a Super Bowl trophy would have all but …read more

Maake Kemoeatu, a starting defensive tackle for the Carolina Panthers, is out for the 2009 NFL season after tearing his achilles tendon in his right foot. Kemoeatu suffered the injury less than an hour into the team’s first practice.
Kemoeatu is one of the most underrated players on the Panthers. The native of Tonga was extremely valuable as his 6-foot-5, 345-pound frame made life difficult for opponents — especially on the ground.

Ah yes… it’s almost time for some fantasy football drafts to take place. Soon, it will be your pick. Take a look at your draft sheet – it’s time for a running back. Which of these rookie backs do you want on your team; Darren McFadden or Jonathan Stewart?
For me, it’s an easy choice. I watch Run DMC tear it for three seasons for the Arkansas Razorbacks. In my opinion, McFadden has everything and more than last year’s rookie phenom Adrian Peterson. Sure, Stewart is probably going to have a passing game on his …read more
