Jerry Richardson in an interview with the Charlotte Observer
Tom Sorensen: "I'd like to throw out some names and ask your opinion. Wide receiver Brandon LaFell?"
Jerry Richardson "I think he's got great potential and I think David Gettis does as well."
TS: "Chris Gamble?"
JR: "I think he's extraordinary. His tackling's improved. I think our whole team's tackling has to improve."
TS: "Sherrod Martin?"
JR: "What about him?"
TS: "What do you think about him?"
JR: "I think he plays Safety"

“I think he plays Safty.”
Me thinks he just ripped Martin a new one without seeming to.
I am a proud supporter of troll hunting.
Nah
Trust, that was deliberate.

Proud member of the Panthers Mafia!

As soon as I read the line about Martin...
I couldn’t stop laughing.
Memo to Martin:
Yep. I'm a female who religiously follows a football blog.

One of my favorite parts...
Q: Who do you consider tough?
RICHARDSON: Thomas (Davis). There are others but in my judgment he’s No. 1. (Davis, an outside linebacker, has torn the ACL in the same knee three times and is trying to come back.) I saw him (working out at Bank of America Stadium Wednesday) and I said, ‘Every time I see you you’re in here’ and he said, ‘Mr. Richardson, I’m going to be in here every time. And I’m going to beat the odds.’ And I believe him.

You have to
Love his drive. The man has had the worst luck for the last couple years and yet he’s still fighting and still believes. Thomas Davis may have more heart than anyone on that team. Here’s hoping his body can keep up with that big hear next year.

I wish they'd just give him a cadaver ACL.
That’s help him tremendously.
I don't always fail, but when I do...
I do it awesomely.

Seriously. In September, after the injury, I suggested a prosthetic ACL. A transplant might be the way to go, though. I mean, how many times can you sew the same ligament together before there’s no point anymore? I guess the problem would be attaching a new one to the bone…
I like to think of myself as a one-man wolfpack.

I hope the league doesn't take this TOO far
RICHARDSON: They respond to the rule changes and try to use them to their advantage. An example is the fans who drive from Wilmington and they sit there for 3 hours and we score 7 points or we score 10 points. Unless you win that’s a long ride home. Conversely, if we score 35 points and we lose the game at least they’ve been excited and the trip isn’t quite as long. We as a league want high-scoring games because that’s what our customers want.

There is a reason I refer to him as Mr.Richardson
The opening 4 paragraphs tore me apart.
Jerry Richardson is on the telephone when I walk into his house Wednesday afternoon. A man in New Jersey whom Richardson has never met is waiting to have a heart transplant. The man, who had emailed Richardson, wants to know what to expect.
He talks about how tired he is and Richardson, who underwent a heart transplant in 2006, encourages him, tells him try to take three steps, and if that works to try for four the next day
When the call ends, Richardson tries to fight back tears. He fails.
“He has no idea,” Richardson says.
Seriously, this is the classiest man alive.
