APDave Gettleman had 27 years in the NFL before he got his first General Manager’s job, so he had a long list of contacts and people he trusts and guys he had thought about hiring one day. But after he took over the Panthers in 2013, he didn’t hire anyone. Because he didn’t have any openings. Because he didn’t create any. Not only did Gettleman not blow up the Panthers front office or scouting department or coaching staff, he didn’t fire a single person after getting the job he had always drea..>> view originalLions seem to want cap space more than they want Megatron

Ten years ago, Friday the Thirteenth proved to be the most extraordinary day of my life. Two days after Christmas in 2005, I set out to answer a seemingly simple question: Who was my father?
