“Megatron [Calvin Johnson] was impossible to cover. Randy Moss in his prime: nothing you can do. But to me, (the Carolina Panthers’) Steve Smith was the toughest guy I faced. When I played him, he was just like me. He chose to outwork everyone else out there every day. That was me.” – Recently retired Tampa Bay Buccaneers DB Ronde Barber, when ask about his toughest assignment during his NFL career.

ROOKIE WR TAVON AUSTIN SAYS PEOPLE ASKING FOR MONEY IS HARDEST THING ABOUT NFL RIGHT NOW -
St. Louis Rams rookie wide receiver Tavon Austin is finding out that when you become a first-round pick in the NFL draft, you start finding out how many friends you have that are wanting money.“Everybody expects a lot of things from you as far as money,” Austin told the Rams official team website. “Everybody wants to be around you. My phone doesn’t stop ringing now. It feels like they’re counting my bank account now. So that’s probably the hardest thing for right now — just people.”Austin says people are coming out of the woodwork, long lost relatives he never knew he had.… “Oh, I’ve got a lot of cousins now,” Austin said. “The whole (city of) Baltimore is my cousin now. We’re just gonna try to keep focused and let my mother and all them handle it.”Austin, who is from Baltimore, already has changed his phone number.“So hopefully, it doesn’t get out again or I’m going to change it again,” he said. Unfortunately this is what happens each and every year. Some people seem to think they should benefit from draft pick’s hard work. But the sooner those players learn to say, “no,” the sooner they won’t end up being broke and “friendless.” (Photo: stlouisrams.com)

From Michelle Boudin comes the story of Jonathan Stewart, the Panthers running back/ivory tickler who will be sitting in with Charlotte Symphony this weekend. He’s sensitive, er, PRETTY SURE he’s a sensitive guy:

“You’re kind of a barbarian, in a sense, on Sundays. There’s another side to a lot of players. Music is definitely that for me,” he said.

“Dare I say the softer side? Sensitive— not sensitive,” he says, pausing, contemplating, “No, I am sensitive!”

He’s also a Space Jam-era R. Kelly fan, as evidenced by the clip above. If he and DeAngelo Williams ever play the Monstars, we’ve got our money on the Panthers.
