Termine » d get this feeling out of our system, Cincinnati

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman said it almost felt like he was stabbed in the back when Carolina Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman rescinded Normans franchise tag in April.Norman initially wouldnt even use Gettlemans name -- referring to him as whatchacallit -- during a Thursday conference call with media in Charlotte, North Carolina, to discuss Monday nights game between the Panthers and Redskins at FedEx Field.When that situation came up, it was totally out of left field, said Norman, who played for the Panthers from 2012-2015. It just went downhill from there. It almost felt like I was stabbed in the back in a way.At the same time, Im not saying he probably meant to do that in that way. It was just probably the business aspect of it, and the money factor, and what he believed, and how he learned how to do things.Norman and his agent, Mike George, were asking in the range of $14 million to $15 million per season in a long-term deal with the Panthers. On the advice of his agent, Norman hadnt signed the franchise offer sheet and did not report for the start of offseason workouts because that was his only leverage.After rescinding the tag, Gettleman said it was because he didnt see a long-term deal being reached, and he felt he could use the $13.95 million Norman was scheduled to receive with the tag on other moves.He aint been nothing but nice to me until that came about, Norman said. I was like, Wow, smile on your face and go behind your back and do something ... like that, its kind of like, Geez. Thats tough.Two days after the Panthers rescinded the tag, Norman signed a five-year, $75 million deal with Washington.Norman said Thursday he realized he wasnt a part of Carolinas core plans when whatchacallit said it, referring to Gettlemans news conference to talk about the decision.Im not beating a dead horse by saying this stuff, said Norman, a fifth-round pick out of Coastal Carolina in 2012, the year before Gettleman arrived. He didnt draft me. He didnt bring me in. Marty Hurney did. So at the end of the day, I had no ties to that. I understand that, and I get it. The personality of how I am probably dont suit some people in that atmosphere.At the end of the day, it seems as if I wasnt worthy enough to be there. I got fired. Im kind of taking it like that.Norman described the atmosphere at Carolina as buttoned-up and himself as more of a free spirit. He doesnt know whether that played into Gettlemans decision.Im freeborn. Im free spirit, Norman said. If you guys tell everybody in a group to go right, Im going left. Thats just me. Im not going to shy away from anything. Im going to be real about it, and Im going to be honest, whether you like it or not. I dont know how much they really care for that.?Norman doesnt hold the type of animosity toward Carolina that Steve Smith expressed when he was released following the 2013 season. Smith promised blood and guts the first time he met the Panthers as a member of the Baltimore Ravens.But Norman did have a friendly reminder for those who thought the Panthers wouldnt miss him.It looks like were going to the playoffs, and I dont know if anybody else is, Norman told ESPN in a separate interview. It looks like weve got a good shot more than they do.The Panthers (5-8) have a 1 percent chance to make the playoffs and would be eliminated entirely if Atlanta or Tampa Bay win Sunday. The Redskins (7-5-1) are a half-game out of the final wild-card spot in the NFC with three games remaining.I was a little salty about it, Norman, who was born and raised in the Carolinas, said of the Panthers decision to move on from him. Of course, if youve been somewhere all of your life, 28 years almost going on 29, its like, What the heck? You didnt expect that to happen.But it did, and things worked out for the best.

This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season.

LOUIS -- Throughout a season in which the St. Louis Cardinals have made an art form of inconsistency, manager Mike Mathenys message has been the same: No one game is bigger than the other.However, even Matheny couldnt suppress a smile Monday night when asked if his teams miracle 5-4 win over the Cincinnati Reds was its biggest of 2016.Im not going to deny there can be lasting effects to a game like this, he said. Its always good to be reminded of what kind of team we can be.Down to its last out, St. Louis scored all five runs to turn a certain loss into a stunning win. The result boosted the Cardinals (59-53) into a tie with Miami for the National Leagues second wild card after the Marlins lost 8-7 in 14 innings to the San Francisco Giants.The Cardinals will attempt to build off that win Tuesday night in Busch Stadium when Mike Leake (8-9, 4.80 ERA) tries to crack the code against his old team.Leake has been rocked for 13 runs in 11 innings against Cincinnati this year, giving up seven runs Thursday in a 7-0 loss at the Great American Ball Park. Since the All-Star break, Leakes ERA is a cringe-worthy 8.18.The 28-year-old right-hander hadnt faced Cincinnati until this year. Leake spent his first 5 1/2 major league seasons with the Reds, then finished last year with the Giants.He will be opposed by Brandon Finnegan, who dominated St. Louis for six scoreless innings last Thursday, yielding just two hits and fanning four without a walk. Finnegan (7-8, 4.dddddddddddd45 ERA) is 2-1 with a 2.81 ERA in six career outings against the Cardinals.The Reds (45-66) will hope that Finnegan can repeat that outing -- and that the bullpen doesnt repeat its endgame implosion of Monday night.Prior to the ninth inning, Cincinnatis bullpen had a 2.08 ERA in its past 26 games, the best in the NL and second only to the New York Yankees in the majors during that span. By contrast, the Reds bullpen ERA going into July 5 was on pace to be one of the five worst in big-league history.Its a miserable feeling, but weve just got to come back tomorrow and win the game and get this feeling out of our system, Cincinnati manager Bryan Price said after the Monday loss.A similar feeling seeped into the Cardinals bones for the better part of three games. St. Louis lost the last two games of a weekend series to the Atlanta Braves, the last-place team in the NL East, by a combined 19-8.And the Reds, the NL Central cellar-dwellers, were one out away from shutting out the Cardinals in 22 straight innings. Instead, St. Louis authored a comeback that in theory could start the big run the team has been waiting for all year.We were fighting to get a positive vibe, Matheny said. We were in a bad spot, but we just continued to play the game. We didnt settle. Guys were in grind mode. They kept swinging.
