Greetings, internet users. Welcome to The Scratching Post.

Here’s some reading material from outside CSR for you to consume.

Dave Gettleman is a tough negotiator (David Newton, ESPN)

Surely he’s not going to let Kawann Short walk over a few million dollars, right? Right?!

Greg Olsen is glad to see The Dab has died (Stephen Igoe, 247 Sports, via Black and Blue Review)

We’ve seen the growth of Greg Olsen from “Third Leg” to “Old Greg” in just a few short years. Amazing, isn’t it?

Auburn fans would like to name a street after Cam Newton (AJC.com, via Black and Blue Review)

I like this idea, but I’m not sure “Cam Newton Run” is the right choice. Ace Boogie Avenue has a much nicer ring to it, IMO.

North Carolina residents can purchase “Keep Pounding” license plates from the DMV (Chris Dyches, WBTV.com)

This is totally not fair, guys. South Carolina residents should be able to do this too. Serious note: a portion of the proceeds goes to the Carolina Panthers Charities Fund of the Foundation for the Carolinas to “create new athletic opportunities for children [and] support their educational needs”, so you might want to consider getting one.

Feel free to discuss these links, or use this thread to chat about (almost) anything you want: video games, food, non-football sports, you name it. As long as it's allowed by the site's ToS (i.e. - no politics and/or religion) then it's fair game here.

You know the drill.

This is now an open thread!
