Monday misery lingers
Sorensen:
I'm in a group. There are 56 of us, and we pick three games every week against the line.

Sorensen: After spending the first half showing what they can do, the Carolina Panthers spent the second half showing what they can't.

You know those movies in which a guy wakes up and walks outside and everybody is gone and he thinks he's the only human in the world?

The opening-day loss to Philadelphia was rough. But it was quick. Every time you turned your head, the Eagles scored twice. Carolina was overwhelmed. The 28-point loss felt like a one-punch knockout.

Sorensen:
To be in position to save the season, Carolina has to win today. The Panthers will be underdogs the next three weeks. They have yet to win as an underdog. Underdogs have been good for me, however.

Sorensen:
Carolina can run, but it can't hide. Eventually the Panthers will have to attempt a forward pass. Jake Delhomme will throw. Steve Smith will catch.

Sorensen:
Some NFL teams are so bad they must have skipped training camp. They must skip practice. They must have lost their playbooks.

Sorensen:
Last season running backs DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart had almost as many nicknames as the Carolina Panthers did victories.

Fans who want to fire the head coach, the coordinators, the assistants and most of the receptionists ought to love the Washington Redskins.

The NFL is guaranteed one more season before a potential lockout. After 2010, however, nothing is guaranteed.

Sorensen:
Sometimes I love my Lock of the Week. I loved Buffalo, a four-and-a-half-point favorite last week against Tampa Bay. The Bucs are terrible and Buffalo is a tough place for even good teams to play, as New Orleans is likely to attest.

The Dallas Cowboys remind me of a mannequin in a store window or Dale Earnhardt Jr. in his Chevrolet. They look good. But they don't do anything.

Sorensen:
That was a rough opening week for some of us, some of us being me. I went 12-4. Both my upsets, Carolina over Philadelphia and Miami over Atlanta, failed miserably.

Sorensen:
You know that I had a legendary 2007. If you were true to my picks, you made a lot of mythical money. People would still be talking about 2007 if it weren't for 2008.

If I owned a business, and my kids were interested and able, I'd hire them. I'd stick one at the left end of the building, the other on the right end and, to help resolve the inevitable brotherly disputes, a wrestling ring in the middle.

David Poole was loud, opinionated, hilarious, gutsy and smarter than you are, and I don't care who you are.

Tom Sorenson hasn't written a column since the Masters and a number of readers have noticed. He explains what's been going on with him and his health.

The afternoon began with a low hum. Phil Mickelson birdied the second hole. There was much applause. But he was still six strokes behind the leaders.

Seth Curry, the leading freshman scorer in the country this season for the Liberty Flames of the Big South, says he wants to play in a "higher rated conference."

The ACC men's basketball player of the year will be named this afternoon, and it almost certainly will be North Carolina point guard Ty Lawson. Voters got the team right, but they picked the wrong guy.

Jerry Richardson is a regular on the JumboTron at Bank of America Stadium. If he's in the owner's suite, he's also on the scoreboard at least twice a game.

The impact of Friday's punch-out can still be felt at the Carolina Panthers training camp, and to pretend otherwise is to be a fool.

Sorenson:
The Carolina Panthers are fortunate that it was Ken Lucas, and not a less confident or a more vindictive man, Steve Smith chose to attack.

Sorenson:
In three seasons at South Carolina, Steve Spurrier has gone 7-5, 8-5 and 6-6. By the school's standards, that's good work. But Spurrier's standards are not South Carolina's.
