I would like to see the hometown star Todd Gurley in a Carolina uniform. With the absence of CMC, do you think this will happen? — Mark, Rocky Mount.
This would have been a great idea. In 2017.
Gurley was one of the league's brightest stars, a do-it-all back who found a home in an offense that suited him. But the knee problems that ended his tenure with the Rams appear to be keeping him from getting much of a chance elsewhere.
He was only moderately productive last year for the Falcons (3.5 yards per carry), and they signed former Panthers backup Mike Davis as an upgrade.
The fact the Ravens didn't add him to the roster when all their backs got hurt in the preseason is likely an indication of how teams around the league view him. Gurley worked out for Baltimore this offseason, but after the Ravens lost J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards to season-ending injuries, they signed Latavius Murray and Devonta Freeman, and they have Le'Veon Bell on the practice squad.

Are you Darin Gantt, the Old Guy? Just looked at your picture at the top of the page, . . . you don't look like an old guy. Sorry, nothing against old guys, but you are not one, sir. Please keep up the good work. — Mouli, Charlotte
Oh, that picture way up there? That was just a promotional shot for the night I opened for Nantucket at PB Scott's in Blowing Rock in 1979. Trust me, I am very, very old.
Sometimes age is a thing that creeps up on you and tickles you gently on your toes. But some days it hits you in the face with a shovel.
Just last week, I was in a car with some co-workers whom I won't name (although they rhyme with Alex, Kyle, Chanelle, and Angela). We were discussing some certain photo or meme which gained traction on the Internet, and one of them referenced "Rex Chapman, the guy on Twitter."
After asking if they realized Rex Chapman was also a former first-round draft pick of the Charlotte Hornets in addition to being the guy on Twitter, there were some blank stares and an awkward silence. Granted, Chapman was drafted here in 1988, and it's possible that they weren't all born yet to absorb local basketball history from the cradle. But the point stands.
Now, please pass me that glass of gin and fiber, and get off my lawn.

That, blessedly, will do it for this week. Keep the good stuff coming, regardless the record. This mailbag aims to go 1-0 every week, and that depends on all of us.
