This a.m., Dave sends word that there's a local connection to the Panthers: "There’s a Dallas resident who is commuting to Prague to help the Prague Panthers win in European cup competition. Last game he gained over 200 yards and scored four or five touchdowns. He’s on his way here now to play in Saturday’s game in Berlin." Guy's name is Josh Shrum, who actually lives in Grapevine but works in Dallas. Oh, yeah -- and Prague. --Robert Wilonsky
