Unquestionably, the last few days has been a whirlwind for the Carolina Panthers. Reports of workplace misconduct by owner Jerry Richardson followed by confirmed details of payoffs to employees to keep it quiet. Then Sunday night, he announces his intention to sell the franchise. Oh, and they won Sunday too ! He didn’t look real happy sitting in the owner’s box Sunday sipping on his Bojangles iced tea. It seems he is a certified World Class Hypocrite, demanding his players be good citizens while being something less than that himself ! Whatever he might have done in his life will become secondary, he’s now a punchline and he needs to go. Potential owners will be plentiful and if I decide to buy the team, they’ll wear the powder blue jerseys more often !

I’m a law an order guy but a story out of Statesville has me hoping the suspect is not caught. Homeowners returned to their dwelling last week to find an intruder who fled out the back door. The suspect had made a bologna sandwich and that’s all he did. My bet is, if he had asked, the sandwich was his.

Quote of the Day: “Hey I know it’s Monday but it’s also a new day, a new week, and in that lies a new opportunity for something special to happen”…Michael Ely
