Happy Birthday: Bobby Allison, Ozzy Osbourne, Rick Mears, Daryl Hannah, Julianne MoorePanthers are a major disappointment. What I saw Sunday was the worst game ever played by a quarterback at any level of football. Cam Newton was worse than terrible.

Yep, it looks like we could see some snow by the weekend so here’s a thought. Go ahead and panic like you normally do. Rush out and get some milk and bread today and then you can do it again Friday
