Bad Left Hook, Global Boxing News and Commentary

"He had a small micro fracture, but all of his ligaments and cartilage was intact... the knee is very stable, and he’s had no swelling in his knee throughout the whole process. He’s been running, and he started running routes this past week. We’re just going to bring him back slowly and see what he can do. We’ll get him in a formal rehab with [head trainer] Rick [Burkholder] and we’ll just see exactly where he’s at. It could be three weeks….I don’t know. I have to see how he does here. We know he’s a fine football player, and we just need to get his leg where it needs to be." Here's proof positive of the philosophical difference in the way that New York's and Philadelphia's front offices operate. Philly is willing to invest/bet a few million dollars and a couple weeks of rehab on a proven, top tier NFL talent. The Giants tried to strong arm'em into a crappy deal.

Pat Yasinskas, who has been doing a fantastic job on the NFC South blog covering the Panthers in the last few months (perhaps because there has been some positive news to cover lately!), writes an interesting blog post about Greg Olsen's hands and his potential role on the team. I have to say, having followed Olsen since his high school days at Wayne Hills, I was overjoyed with this trade, as well as the move for Hartsock. He is exactly the kind of safety outlet Cam Newton needs in his early development stage, and he will help free up our receivers on the outside as well.
