Just a reminder:

• Most passing yards (4,051) in a season by a rookie
• Most rushing yards (706) in a season by a rookie quarterback
• Most rushing touchdowns (14) in a season by a rookie quarterback
• Most rushing touchdowns (14) in a single season by a quarterback
• Most total touchdowns (35) in a season by a rookie (21 pass, 14 rush)
• Most passing yards (422) by a rookie in his first game
• Most passing yards (432) by a rookie in a game
• Most passing yards (854) by a rookie in first two games
• First quarterback in NFL history to pass for 400-plus yards in his first twocareer starts
• First rookie in NFL history to pass for 400-plus yards in back-to-back games
• First rookie in NFL history to throw for 10-plus touchdowns and run for 10-plus touchdowns in a season
• First player in NFL history with 4,000-plus pass yards and 10-plus rush touchdowns in a season
• First player in NFL history with 4,000-plus pass yards and 500-plus rush yards in a season
• Led the Carolina Panthers to the greatest offensive turnaround (32nd to seventh) in NFL history
• First player to be awarded the Heisman Trophy, win a national championship in college, be named first overall pick in the NFL draft, be named the Offensive Rookie of the Year, and be selected to the Pro Bowl all consecutively

With a full set of OTA’s, voluntary work outs AND full camp, the future looks promising for the face of the Panthers. His confession to YAHOOSports that he pouted and moped a little too much was good to see. Can you imagine if and when he puts it ALL together? The bar is set really high for Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III. Good luck.

What are you going to do with this man after a full off season including OTA’s? I pitty the fool.

Looks like an Ernie Barnes painting.

Getting a bit chippy!

LeBron James is the first player in NBA history since Elgin Baylor in 1961 to put up a 40-18-9 statline. Enough said.

nbaoffseason:

The Orlando Magic have announced today that Stan Van Gundy has been relieved of his coaching duties (their words) and Otis Smith has left as the team’s general manager. 

The news isn’t necessarily that surprising since Van Gundy said that Dwight Howard wanted him fired in an early April media session. It’s safe to assume that Magic ownership are trying to keep Howard happy. 

It’ll be interesting to see if Van Gundy jumps back into coaching or if he’ll join his brother Jeff in the broadcast booth.

Kevin Garnett is averaging 20 points, 11 boards and close to 2 blocks per game so far in the play offs. He’s improved those numbers in the 2nd round of the Eastern Conference vs. the 76ers to 24 and 12. Whatever this guy is eating or drinking is what I need in my life right now. He’s turned back the clock to surprise everybody of his play. It’s good to see.
