Beason: ‘No way’ T.O. could be a Panther
We’re coming to the point where the closest Terrell Owens will come to catching a pass from an NFL quarterback this year would be if he masqueraded as an Oak Grove High School student.
Owens removed himself from consideration by the Chiefs on Wednesday. Which assumes, of course, that the Chiefs had any interest in the enigmatic receiver. But a high-profile coach and a high-profile linebacker took their teams out of the running for Owens’ services Thursday.

Peppers decision could be imminent
Charles Chandler Tuesday could be the day Julius Peppers formally receives his widely anticipated ticket to freedom.

Charles Chandler and Tom Sorensen
The Carolina Panthers won't fire coach John Fox, but they also aren't giving him an extension, forcing him to return next season in the final year of his contract if he chooses to remain with the team, according to sources.

Scott Fowler
What does $1 million per game really buy?
That's the question I set out to answer. To do so, I reviewed every Carolina Panthers defensive snap for the first three games of this 2009 season.
Could Cowher end up in Carolina?
Carolina coach Coach John Fox has told friends and some associates he expects to be fired once the season ends. It's not that Foxy is doing a bad coaching job; it's just that the Panthers are 0-3, and they don't appear capable of catching New Orleans and Atlanta in the South. But he's being blamed for sticking with Jake Delhomme and Julius Peppers, two high-priced stars, who aren't producing right now. If Bill Cowher is going to leave CBS, it would make sense that his former Pittsburgh boss, Dan Rooney, would try to persuade him to go to Carolina.
