I’m always a sucker for get-your-degree stories like this.
Carolina Panthers LB Thomas Davis is being excused from Saturday's practice to return to UGA so he can walk in graduation ceremonies.—

Congrats, TD.
Amen. I remember just holding my breath so many times waiting for him to unload on people. I believe I’d rather get hit by a car.
I believe many of the players who he’s hit feel similarly. As a Falcons fan, he’s been the only player on the team I pull for with any regularity the past 5 years. Even when he was going after Vick (and Vick was still my QB).
I hope Brodie Croyle isn’t the speaker.
Well played, sir.
I see I’m not the only one worried for anyone on that stage who comes across the middle. Two speeds: Destroy, and graduate.
Excellent rant yesterday, good sir.

Amen, brother!
He was/is exactly right. We’ve needed new highlights for several years now and I get tired of watching the same ole stuff that is akin to a Nebraska fan celebrating Johnny Rodgers in 2011.
There must be disco Disney Dawgs in Funkytown
Living in Charlotte for the past few years and being an Atlanta sports fan, the only bright spot on sports talk radio for me has been the weekly interview with TD. That man is a damn good dawg and reps Georgia superbly. He and Charles Johnson are the only Panthers I like.
You don’t like Jimmy Clauson? He always seemed likeable to me.
Probably not as likable as Erik Ainge but, then again, he was probably high…
Oops, just saw the Panthers part. Disregard or laugh; it’s your call…
Yes, but because I’m a Falcons fan.
+1 – only 2 Panthers I’ll pull for. Pisses my CLT friends off to no end.
See, this is one reason why I support any athlete coming out early if the money is what it should be. Thomas Davis has made his millions despite not getting his degree at that point in time but yet came back to get it later You always have a brain but not always a body
Too bad Davis can’t stick around a few Days and show our players how to deliver a hit. Not sure why we redshirted him his first year. But I won’t question BVG’s motives, as he still had a great D.
What’s his degree in?
Either Kicking Ass or Taking Names.
Actually, I think he double majored.
The Graduate…………”Plastics.”
+1, ma’am. I wish I had said that!
He’ graduating with “cumma real sudden” honors.
