NFC South Roundup: Apply Roundup to Tender Areas

What would your Monday morning be without the roundup? Probably exactly the same, except that you wouldn't have read the roundup.

And who would want to go a Monday without reading the roundup?!?! A Falcons fan, that's who. You don't want to be a Falcons fan, do you? Well then, read on for more links and analysis from around the NFC South web sites.

Panthers' selection of Newton looks all the more intelligent when rookie pay scale is agreed to - Cat Scratch Reader
HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA. Yeah, you won't have to pay him Jamarcus Russell money, but you are shackling your franchise to him ala Alex Smith. Not that I'm complaining.

One of the more bizarre shots at the Panthers during the lockout - Cat Scratch Reader
This is funny, because I said the same thing when I saw a Simpsons episode where Homer was brandishing a Carolina Panthers ring.

Panthers QB Cam Newton nominated for four ESPY awards - Cat Scratch Reader
I wonder if he was nominated for "Most Convincing Lie". His "I wasn't part of that" was very convincing.

I don't know, I would have to see the size of this package. (giggles like a school girl)

Falcons News:

Could The Falcons Vulture A Rookie From Another Team? - The Falcoholic
Let's be honest, the Falcoholic is advocating theft. This is why you people are Saints fans. Because you're anti-theft.

The Salary Cap Room In The NFC South - The Falcoholic
This is the must read link of the week. Check what the cap space is for the Saints. It's why a deal with Reggie MUST be done, or he needs to get cut. Just in terms of cap space, he's taking up a lot and may prevent other people from getting signed. Also, check out the Bucs cap space. Are you scared too?

Saturday Falcons Discussion: Which Falcon Will Someday Coach? - The Falcoholic
This would be a really good question for Saints fans to talk about too. So please, name a Saint (who was on the team in 2010) who you think will be a coach. Try to be more creative then saying Darren Sharper, that's too easy.
