My boss came in from lunch already running with the "2 broken legs story" ... and I fell for it.

 

[Sportsbabe]

I guess this is the year of groins and transverse process'.
Never heard of a transverse process until now.
I know, I know, the college guy had it, etc., etc.
Transverse process has taken on a life of its own now that Tony's had it.

This is Cam after the accident. He doesn't look seriously injured.

He can't help it if he's cute.
Some things just can't change that.
Jim Rome was killing him for "flashing his million $ smile" in this picture.
I doubt that very seriously.

One of the MANY tweets noting that it's the same injury as Romo.



Folks are speculating that he'll only be out a week, but he has two injuries, not one like Romo. And with a season already in the toilet, why risk the franchise QB?

I follow this one girl whose a NFL blogger of some kind and she has a major crush on Cam, even though she's a Falcon AND an Eagle fan. She changed her avi to him and was joking with a follower that she was going to form a prayer circle for him. lol

at 4-8 the Panthers are 1 game out of first place

Glad Cam is going to be okay. That makes me feel less bad for giggling at someone saying "Looks like another Cam Newton drive ended in a turnover" a few minutes ago.

Wish I could take credit for that.

More accurately at 4-8-1 they are 1/2 a game out of being tied for first place and 1 game out from being all alone in first place.

Hey! I resemble that comment!

The other driver was cited for roughing the passer

Cam was ticketed for intentional grounding as he was still in the intersection

another drive by Cam ends in a turnover.


~ too soon?

caught this post on a blog.........not sure of validity:
****
"Newton was cited four separate times in 2007 for failure to stop at a red light.

He also was cited that year for speeding, passing in a no-passing zone and driving without a license in his possession.

His license was temporarily suspended in 2007 because of an outstanding traffic ticket fine, Florida court records show.

His 2008 citations included speeding 70 mph in a 45-mph zone and driving without a license in his possession. In 2009, he was again cited for failure to stop at a red light."

Based on the circumstances of the incident, I don't know that his past traffic citations matter, especially those that occurred over five years ago.

Person in the other car failed to yield. Pretty open and shut to me.

No, too late. Same line was used earlier in the thread.

They don't matter. He was t-boned. End of story.
