CHARLOTTE Thomas Davis Color Rush Jersey , N.C. (AP) — All it took for the Carolina Panthers to land All-Pro defensive tackle Gerald McCoy was a one-year deal worth up to $10.25 million — and a vegan lunch with some future teammates.When some of Carolina’s core players heard general manager Marty Hurney was considering signing the free agent defensive tackle, they organized a lunch at a local vegan restaurant during McCoy’s visit to Charlotte last week knowing the 31-year-old McCoy had given up eating meat five months ago.Luke Kuechly, Greg Olsen, Kawann Short, Shaq Thompson, Trai Turner and Christian McCaffrey all attended the lunch https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Cameron-Artis-Payne-Jersey , hoping to convince their former division rival to sign with Carolina rather than the Baltimore Ravens or Cleveland Browns, the other two teams who were courting the six-time Pro Bowler.It worked better than the Panthers could have imagined.McCoy said the lunch — and camaraderie he noticed with the players — was a big reason why he signed with the Panthers.“Instant chemistry,” McCoy said Tuesday at an introductory news conference.McCoy said it felt as if he was back in high school again being recruited by Oklahoma.He recognized that the players could have been doing something else, but said it felt special that they showed up to give him a sales pitch and eat at a restaurant they normally wouldn’t visit.“I left that lunch feeling I could fit right in here,” McCoy said.The 31-year-old McCoy has been one of the better players at his position over the past nine seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and is the only NFL defensive tackle with at least six sacks in each of the past six seasons. He has 296 tackles and 54½ sacks during his career.Hurney said in a statement that “it’s great to have Gerald on our side now. We are very familiar with his skillset.”McCoy likes being on the same team as quarterback Cam Newton instead of chasing the former 2015 league MVP around the field twice a year.He’s admired Newton from a distance https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/J.J.-Jansen-Jersey , calling him “the best escape artist in the league.”McCoy’s son is a big fan of Newton too, always using him to play on Madden football.McCoy isn’t worried about where he will fit in on Carolina’s defensive line, one that will rotate between a three- and four-man front this year.“In this league you have to be a Swiss army knife,” McCoy said. “And (defensive coordinator) Eric Washington has a great plan in place where we can move guys around.”McCoy said he’s a loyal team player.At Oklahoma he supported his school by going to volleyball, basketball and baseball games.That said, he doesn’t seem to have any ill feelings toward the Bucs jettisoning him after nine seasons and quickly giving away his No. 93 jersey to replacement Ndamukong Suh.“Business is business https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Mike-Adams-Jersey ,” McCoy said. In 2012 Peyton Manning was released by the Colts. At that point, my perspective on this league changed. If you can let a person like Peyton Manning go, then anybody can be released. It’s a business.” Super Bowl prop betting has reached its ceiling. I do not see how they could come up with more than the 486 prop bets available this year. Silly me...with a year to think about it they will probably top 500 next year. Regardless, here are a few of the traditional props and then some of the more ‘interesting’ ones. First, get gander at the prop bet categories.Sure you can bet on the traditional props, such as the classic coin toss. Please note that though the odds are as even as it gets https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Matt-Kalil-Jersey , the house will get it’s five percent. I noticed during the college bowl season many times they use a coin with the teams on it. That renders the heads versus tails moot. I must assume the Super Bowl will use yet again a commemorative coin that requires the referee to explain to each team which side is heads and which is tails. You can also make the usual prop bets on who what player will score first, which team will score first, halftime score, etc... There are 141 prop bets just on the game itself. You then can bet on any player for the most part to do anything. More interesting though is this category of ‘Cross Sports Props’. We have 54 bets to choose from where you pick between a Super Bowl team or player stat and some very different stat in another sport. That sport can run the gambit from basketball, to soccer, to golf and even rugby. Basically whatever other sport is playing this weekend.Now the so called ‘Fun Props’. In this category is the long time prop on the amount time in seconds it takes to sing the national anthem. You can then also bet on whether there will be a scoring drive shorter than it took to sing the anthem. Wrap your brain around that one.You can also bet on the number of Gisele appearances on TV and how many times Ted Rath is mentioned. Who the hell is Ted Rath you might ask? I did. He’s the guy who’s job it is on game day to keep Rams head coachSean McVay on the sideline and out of the field of play. No easy feat apparently. You have to click through and watch this video. It is hilarious. Give that video I like the over 3.5 on the Ted Rath mentions. He’s going to be a busy guy on Sunday. Imagine if McVay actually gets a penalty because McVay runs into the sideline ref? You have a winner prop bet for sure!Finally we have the halftime props. The prevailing topics range from performer attire (hat or no hat) to special appearances (Aguilera or Cardi B) https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Captain-Munnerlyn-Jersey , song selection and of course the Colin Kapernick controversy. I think that the ‘Will Big Boi and Levine play Mic Jack’ is a lock.
