Now you can't make this stuff up, so I won't try. (Aug.14 UPDATE on contest -- I posted the winners in the 40th comment on this blog post. Thanks, everyone for playing, and thanks to Jamie Spittler for providing the free T-shirts to the winners... Scott).
I keep finding out more things about DT George Hypolite, the Panthers' unknown but quite interesting reserve that I wrote about in today's paper.
Here's the latest: They called Hypolite "The Rabid Goldfish" at Colorado. And here's why: A couple of Colorado alums created "South Park" -- the offbeat, off-color, animated satire that was such a huge hit a few years ago.
Those CU alums got one of their characters -- Eric Cartman -- to introduce the Colorado defense for a televised football game awhile back. It makes for a funny "YouTube" bit even now -- watch it here, it only takes about 45 seconds.
In this TV bit, for no reason, Cartman calls Hypolite "The Rabid Goldfish." It stuck. People made T-shirts of this nickname for Hypolite, as a reader (and the T-shirt co-creator, Jamie Spittler of Colorado) pointed out to me today.
So there you go. For now, at least until the first round of cuts, the Panthers have a Rabid Goldfish on their hands.
In the meantime, I am going to acquire a T-shirt of the "Rabid Goldfish" via my main man Jamie Spittler and give it away to a reader of this blog.
All YOU have to do to win the "Rabid Goldfish" T-shirt is leave the funniest comment below -- YOU MUST give me a nickname for another Panther defensive player that is totally weird (but funny and clean) and I'll award the T-shirt to you.
You must leave your comment//nickname suggestion by Friday, Aug.14, at 7 p.m., about 24 hours from when I am posting this.Good luck!
We're moving!

Jonathan "The Venomous Duck" Stewart. Think about it...
wow. i don't read so good...ha
defensive player. oops.
How about "The flowin' Samoan" for Kemoeatu. That man is SO big and SO fast that once he moves it's like his body flows. It takes a while for the rear of it to catch up to the front.
Chris "Sticky Squid" Harris picks off Matt Ryan yet again.........
Jon "Camel Toe" Beason is all up in it again, breaking up the play before it could start........
eagles get Vick.... damn...
Good news! Panthers don't get Vick! Thank Goodness!Eagles & Vick & McNabb is a time bomb ready to explode. McNabb won't be happy!
Julius "I want to leave a Super Bowl contender to play in a 3-4. I will only go to one of 4 teams. I want a lot of money but I don't want to be a leader. I take plays off occasionally. I will take $16 mil for one season so I can demand more money next year. I will be showed up by rookie Everette Brown in 09 and it will hurt my stock and my agent I will feel like fools for not signing a long term deal with the team that will bend over backwards for me." Peppers.
In honor of Julius' inevitable departure from the Panthers, how about "Peppers the Schlepper".

As a CU grad I'm very happy to see the Rabid Goldfish playing next to Tyler "Bobo's Nieto" Brayton!

Hi, I'm a fan of Panthers and I'd like you to share your thoughts on the real possibilities we have to win the Super Bowl this year, considering what has been done in the last couple of seasons...
