Well, what promised to be a quiet day at Bank of America Stadium might develop into something more.

   The media has been asked by the public relations staff to stick around for an extra 30 minutes for a press conference here at the stadium. The Panthers are being very secretive about this. I'm not sure what it involves, but perhaps it's a contract extension or some type of formal retirement. Based on the tone here at the stadium my guess is that someone is getting a contract extension.

   This is just speculation, but the list of possibilities includes Julius Peppers, John Kasay, Chris Gamble and coach John Fox and/or GM Marty Hurney.
