Sorensen: You need heroes when you're young. Moms and dads rarely qualify because we see their faults as well as their strengths, and because they have routines. Heroes don't have routines.

Sorensen: The Carolina Panthers walked out of Bank of America Stadium late Monday morning, and every player I talked to was confident they had the leadership and talent to be something in 2012.
Modified: 01/02/12 11:57:13 PMSorensen: I see a padlock and I flinch. I see a deadbolt and I cower. I walk along the Mississippi River last week, see a series of locks and almost jump. Nobody tries to stop me.

Sorensen: Thomas Keiser was talking to his dad last week, and his dad wanted him to realize how far he's come.

Sorensen: Does momentum carry from one season to another? If Carolina, which has won three of four games, beats Tampa Bay today and New Orleans next week, will the confidence the streak generates carry into September of 2012?

Sorensen: I don't know if it was a long week for Cam Newton. It was a long second half.
Modified: 12/12/11 06:05:15 AMSorensen: The question has been: Will Green Bay finish the regular season undefeated?
Modified: 12/10/11 07:08:55 PMSorensen: Week 13 ought to be played on a Tuesday. There's not a glamour game on the schedule.

Sorensen: Bonus prediction for Week 12: The Suh Stomp will not become a dance craze in Detroit, Green Bay or anywhere else.

Sorensen: Honesty is a reward in itself. If you're honest, you don't talk about it. People know.
Modified: 11/20/11 05:38:08 AMSorensen: I understand NBA players wanting to cling to what they have, to what they feel they've earned. But without a real salary cap, fans of small-market teams have little reason to get excited unless the roster includes Tim Duncan or Kevin Durant.

Sorensen: Dean Adcock gets a Madden NFL video game every year for his birthday, and he immediately plays Carolina's schedule. Good news, Panther fans: Dean has them winning the rest of their games and beating San Diego in Super Bowl XXLV.

Sorensen: Good news. I got my Lock last week. That's two weeks in a row. I love Locktober. Alas, it is now November and I can't think of anything related to my Lock of the Week that rhymes with November.

Sorensen: For some teams, Carolina among them, the season will be half finished today about 4 p.m. Time flies when you're having fun and, despite losing five of seven games, the Panthers have been entertaining.
Modified: 10/30/11 08:50:10 AMSorensen: The NCAA's board of directors will consider today whether to offer money to college athletes.

Sorensen: Yes, the victories are coming easily. But my Lock of the Week, the lone game I pick against the spread, is killing me.

Sorensen: Ron Rivera doesn't look like a guy you take lightly. He's quiet, but some people don't have to tell you everything they can do.
