Carolina Panthers' Tweet of the week!

It's hump day again folks and some Carolina Panthers players need to step up their games to catch Dan Connor who ran away with the award last week. I know there was some discussion as to whether I should continue keeping Connor in the competition, but I think we should let this play out a little while longer- I don't think we should throw in the towel after just one week.
Now, if in a month Connor is still running away with this award every week, we can then vote to remove him, but for today we have five tweets from Connor, Sutton, Norwood, Cluasen and LaFell.
I want to thank everyone who did such an amazing job coming up with some photo-shopped logos for the Tweet of the week. In the end, I couldn't pick just one for each week I'll go down the list in chronological order and feature each of your work! Now, let's get to the tweets...
After the jump
Dan Connor: "Looking for a Valentine's Day card for my wife....Does Hallmark have a "Mail Order Bride" Section preferably in Korean??"
Tyrell Sutton: "I'm watchin this show 1000 ways to die and this is some horrible ways to die on here"
Eric Norwood: "They still ain't caught bin laden yet"
Jimmy Clausen: "Gotta love flashcards!! Feel like I'm in middle school but best way to learn"
Brandon LaFell: "COOLIN LIKE HELL...."

Connor
You can’t get rid of him. Even if he wins every week. That’s like saying I’m going to fire Jimmy Johnson because he wins NASCAR every year. If hes cut or traded then yea.

Maybe not get rid of him
Still post it just don’t make his votable, cause his are too funny not to post!

Perhaps we could have the “who had the 2nd best tweet of the week after Dan Connor” award if he wins too many in a row, lol.
We have to keep him on the roster though. He’s a good football player and he’s just too entertaining to let go somewhere else.

LOL +1 to 2nd best tweet award.
I was tempted to vote for Jimmy, partly out of pity and partly because the thought of him squinting at flashcards makes me laugh a little.

I seriously laughed at Jimmy's
His picture with flashcards that said “Words” and “Protections” was hilarious.
Good Gawd! Even his tweets got 22 pity votes.
I’ll say this – the man has his die-hard backers.
On a serious note, that new QB coach really has some startlingly original ideas for improving play.
It’d be interesting to know how many seconds are allowed The Jim for correct identification of the defensive formation flashcards.
Some work with tachistoscopic presentations might help him even more. (But that’s almost too many characters for a tweet, anyhow.) Anybody remember Short Attention Span Theater?
I loved short attent….ooh, shiny……but anyway, what was I saying again? Oh, that’s right…the short attention sp……SQUIRREL! :-)

Verrrry funny, bw.
(But c’mon now – you gotta admit the whole flashcard thing is pretty hilarious.)
I voted for Sutton, however. His taste in entertainment are only equaled by his grammar.
Honestly, I love Connor's...
But Tyrell Sutton’s has something that just makes me ‘lol’ every time I read it.

I liked Suttons...mainly cause that show really is fucked up lol
but I had to vote for Lafell…He’s like “the state”; so non-sequitur, but it makes me laugh everytime and I’m not sure why!

ha!
I loved “The State” back in the day…

I'm glad netflix finally got around to posting it...
it’s been crazy watching some of these guys again…so young!

HOLY SH!T
The state is on Netlfix

Buy a VCR
And pick up a copy of Skits and Stickers on VHS. It has some of the best skits, and the original music. Sadly the DVD’s do not have the old background music because of the licensing rights. Like most shows from the 90’s nobody knew that old TV shows would one day be sold to home viewers and not just in syndication.

To me, it’s the mental picture of seeing Sutton watching that show and being freaked out. It is kinda funny when you think about it, lol.

I voted for Sutton's, because I'm in the same boat as you...
Captain Obvious pulled his boat into port yet again… but it is mainly that I could see Sutton watching this show and screaming. I could see him gripping a pillow or something and being like “DAMN! THAT DUDE JUST TRIED TO LIGHT HIS FART ON FIRE BUT THE FLAME GOT SUCKED BACK INTO HIS BUTTHOLE AND IT BURNT HIM FROM THE INSIDE OUT!”
For a frame of reference to what I am thinking… everyone should check out THIS FAMILY GUY CLIP.

It's funny 'cause it's an overt observation ...
… yet, the humor is magnified ‘cause it makes him seem innocent about the trials of life. I believe we all crack a smile when someone shows they haven’t become dispirited with existence on Earth.
stuff 'bout stuff.

Connor by a mile!
I keep looking for one of the guys to come up with something to match him but he just keeps droppin these gems and I can’t stop laughin.
Poor Clausen. Maybe they have flashcards with the other teams defenses on them but then he’d probably check his notebook out the window
IT AIN'T SIZE OF THE DOG IN THE FIGHT BUT THE SIZE OF THE FIGHT IN THE DOG
lol well played

or throw the notebook out of bounds...
because the cards were all covered…

ha ha good one
I wish I had thought of that when I posted originally
IT AIN'T SIZE OF THE DOG IN THE FIGHT BUT THE SIZE OF THE FIGHT IN THE DOG
Hope they're not those big jumbo size cards.
Needs little short ones to see over properly.
Conner's is awesome
but I went with Lafell’s tweet. You can never really pinpoint what the heck this guy is talking about. He’s probably talking about putting some beers in the freezer and them getting cooled like crazy! IDK what the heck I’m talking about either, lol!
To Many, Many winning seasons under our new coach Ron Rivera! And may we win a few Super Bowls along the way to becoming a Dynasty!!!

Poor Jimmy Clausen...
…We are so screwed this year. Lol!
I voted for Eric Norwood! He’s right. Been over there for a while and we still ain’t found him yet! Plus Norwood posted his on Feb 3rd, so he gets disqualified in my book because of a technicality. :p

I thought of that Wayne's World scene
where Wayne is holding the card up that reads “This man has no penis”…;)
LaFell
I think Coolin means Chillin. Not the weather. I’m not sure though.

Connor FTW.
Sutton would be my second choice.
Hopelessly scouring the internet for a free copy of Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "Brujo." and "Hurricane Coming" by CCS.
FYI
Clausen’s tweet had nothing to do with football, but rather studying for his classes at Notre Dame.
Follow me on Twitter! @James_Dator
i was really, really, really hoping that was the case....
I had a mental image of him being flashed a card with a picture of an open receiver, a covered receiver and a side line and being asked to pit A, B, or C.
Are you serious? They need flash cards for Sociology classes?
That’s even funnier/sadder; I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Anything related to remembering terms?
they’re useful for a lot of things in regards to memory retention…they don’t just lose their usefulness once you go to college lol
Nobody fucks with the Jesus! -Big Lebowski
Remedial aids for memory retention?
This low hanging fruit is just too easy – I’m taking the higher road and making no further comment. His tweets say enough.
I beg to disagree as to the dismissal of the usefulness of flashcards.
I left a particular grad/professional program (it’s not an “easy” career to scoff at) simply because I realized I’d be miserable in that profession for the rest of my life.
But, in school, almost everyone used flashcards on a regular basis – starting at the beginning of the semester. And there are even professional companies who produce massive collections of cards for various subjects within the curriculum. The curriculum required not just massive memory retention, but the ability to take all of that retained memory to critically analyze various situations.
So – although I admittedly mentally make fun of JC quite a bit (and I find humor in the ridiculous pictures often posted), I will publicly defend him on this one. =)
Now, tweeting about flashcards is…interesting. But using them doesn’t imply “remedial” in my book.
And Tom...
I didn’t really place my comment in the correct place. It was meant as a general observation to various comments above. =)
And I’m not trying to be snarky toward anyone. I’m just using my experience to defend JC on this matter. =)
I think someone said it last week
If Connor keeps winning it, we’ll name it the Dan Connor Award and give it out to someone else.
Go Panthers
Clausen really is a dweeb.
But he’s our dweeb.
I think LaFell was talking about the sudden drop in temperature, which when paired with the word “HELL” makes for some hilarious irony.
Connor still takes it easily though.

I'll take dweeb over primadonna any day lol
Although I don’t think most of our roster would qualify as primadonna…Smitty is outspoken, but not a prissy attention whore like many receivers …
