On a gray day at stately Wofford College, the Panthers are hauling their gear into a dorm to start training camp. Is it like being back in college? "Just like college," says safety Quinton Teal, heading into the dorm where the team bunks down. "Twin beds."
LOVE THIS: At the turnoff for Panthers camp here in Spartanburg, there's a lingerie story with three mannequins in the window in sexy referee outfits. Three different referee lingerie looks? Maybe one's a backfield judge.
Check out the video above of Steve Smith unpacking his Mercedes Benz SUV. He brought to camp dozens of sports drinks, an odd brown shag rug and an enormous microwave. You know what it's like. You need your stuff.
Smith was downbeat as he spoke to reporters outside the dorm, noting that he has turned 30, and that he's "a straight shooter. I hope there aren't too many young guys like me," referring to young players. He seemed to want to address the debacle of last year's training camp when he punched teammate Ken Lucas and was sent home.
Panthers thunderfoot kickoff specialist and cool cat Brit @rhysjlloyd told me he'll give away signed balls on Twitter during the season. A good reason to follow him. Another: He lets it fly online the same way he does when he kicks off.
Other Panthers on Twitter: promising rookie defensive end @everettebrown, linebacker @jonbeason, QB @mattemoore, and running back @jonathanstewar1.

Smart move by Steve Smith to have the Powerade front and center since he is a major sponsor for them. Go Panthers!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely mesmerizing...had to watch it twice.
ReplyDeleteBetter help, before you get hit!!
ReplyDeleteWhat video journalism! That was spectacular! Should enter it for whatever crappy awards you guys try to win each year. Good move not carrying anything himself though, let those minions do it.
ReplyDeleteLMAO! What a monument to journalism! I thought he was going to punch the guy helping him after he tossed his crap on the asphalt or something but instead he just leaves with his truck open and everything LMAO!
