SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP)An MRI Thursday revealed Carolina Panthers startingwide receiver David Gettis(notes) tore the ACL in his left knee and is expected to missthe remainder of the season."It's disappointing because the young man had a good last few days and hasa bright future in this league," coach Ron Rivera said following Thursdaynight's Mitchell And Ness Roger Craig Jersey practice. Mitchell And Ness Deion Sanders Jersey "Whatever it entails, he'll get it right and we'll have himready to go when he's ready."                                                                                                                                                            Gettis injured his knee Wednesday night and was carted off the field afterpractice. He injured the knee while attempting to run a route."It was down in the red zone and he was releasing and he got jammed,"Rivera said. "His foot got caught and slipped in a bad direction. It'sdisappointing. Like I said, the Mitchell And Ness Joe Montana Jersey young man was having a really good camp."Earlier in the night, Mitchell And Ness Mike Webster Jersey the Panthers placed defensive tackle Ron Edwards(notes) oninjured reserve and replaced him with free agent defensive tackle DelJuanRobinson(notes), who played 27 games with three starts in three seasons with theHouston Texans.Edwards, who received a three-year, $8.5 million contract, tore his tricepsin his first practice with the team Aug. 4.

NEW YORKFrom playoff guarantees on the part of New York Giants GM Jerry Reese to offhand remarks made by vice president of communications Pat Hanlon Mitchell And Ness Ronnie Lott Jersey via Twitter, it is clear that Big Blue's front office has closed ranks in response to criticism they're receiving for failing to bring back Plaxico Burress(notes) and retain Steve Smith and Kevin Boss(notes).Take this tweet from Hanlon, for instance, in response to a fan questioning whether the VP thought the Giants were better entering the 2011-12 season: "Can you say we're worse, knucklehead?"                                                                                                                                                              But wait, it gets better.When another fan suggested rebuilding wasn't so bad, Hanlon replied, "Re-build my ass! I got your re-build."Some way of communicating for a VP of communications, huh?Then there was Reese unknowingly threatening to break singer Justin Timberlake's record for most uses of the word "sexy" Mitchell And Ness Rod Woodson Jersey in a 3-minute span while addressing Giants beat writers Thursday."How many big, sexy moves did the Green Bay Mitchell And Ness Dan Fouts Jersey Packers make last year?" the GM rhetorically asked. "I don't remember a lot. Who won before? Pittsburgh? How many big, Official NFL jerseys sexy moves did they have? You develop players. Mitchell And Ness Terry Bradshaw Jersey The making a splash, the big, sexy moves, I don't know if Mitchell And Ness Rocky Bleier Jersey that always works. I don't know if all the big, sexy moves are the right way to go."Smith and Boss were each drafted by the Giants in 2007they were home-grown G-Men, if you willso there would have hardly been anything "sexy" about retaining either or both of them. Now the Giants' receiving corps has been reduced to Mario Manningham(notes), Hakeem Nicks(notes) and a bunch of question marks.Reese and Co. and veteran Osi Umenyiora(notes) are still at an impasse over the defensive end's contract, which is another narrative this offseason that may have an un-sexy ending for the Giants.But in spite of the losses his team recently sustained, Reese insists that the Giants will be playing playoff football."We won 10 games last year," Reese pointed out. "It wasn't like we were 6-10, we were 10-6. We expect to build off that. We made a couple of plays last year, we'd have been in the playoffs and who knows what would have happened."But it didn't happen, he added, "so we'll make the plays this time and we'll get in the playoffs and we'll make a run."In an argument, time, as it always does, will prove which party is right and which party is wrong. Reese doesn't Mitchell And Ness Jerry Rice Jersey think he and like-minded people will get the short end of that dealdespite the deals the GM never made this summer.Time will tell.Note: This article was written by a Yahoo! contributor.
