he ditched his best friend for many years after learning he was gay. i don't see that as a great quality. in his defense, he has tried to patch things up since.

Lol, if he signs there, it means that he's still gonna traumatize Jacksonville and Houston...and he gets to face Luck for the rest of his time there.

Montgomery and PG County combined have a greater population then Charlotte as does Fairfax County alone. It's not the city itself, it's the surrounding area.

Granted no one should have said Charlotte is small, but by the same token it's not bigger then DC as a whole.

For regional populations the DC area ranks 7th. Charlotte area is down the list at 33. Its not even close.

Charlotte is bigger than DC.

Market size. Media and pro sports market.

If it were a bigger sports market, we'd still have the Charlotte Hornets. No one (nationally) cared about the Panthers until Cam Newton arrived.


There's no way anyone can claim that DC isn't considered one of the busiest media towns in the nation, up there with NYC and LA.

Charlotte is small potatoes.



The QB of the Redskins is always a big headline-grabber, even with bad and mediocre QBs. Look how much attention McNabb drew from the national media when he came to town. It's going be that times infinity when RG3 suits up.

This is getting interesting. So much for him making a decision by Tuesday.

There were reports out there that say he won't be making a decision on Tuesday.

[Ruhskins]

Peyton to meet with Titants HC Munchak and Dolphins HC Philbin.

I haven't seen any of those yet, probably because Fox Sports is the only unblocked NFL related site at work and I can't even load it on my computer due to how outdated my computer is. This is pretty much my go-to place for news when I'm at work lol.

You are misinformed. The Hornets didn't move away because it was a small market. It was due to the fact that George Shinn wanted a brand new stadium after about 6 years into the league and the Charlotte taxpayers weren't going to foot the bill. He became despised (and still is) that people stopped going to the games just to spite him (including playoff games). Before that time, the Hornets were among the league leaders in attendance.

The only reason nobody cared about the Panthers is because it was a expansion team. Hell, Los Angeles can't even gather more interest in a NFL team than the Panthers can.

Then you'll have to take my word for it when I say that the 49ers cut Patrick Willis and we signed him to a vet min contract.
