CHARLOTTE – Last weekend, Michael Palardy didn't want to get the call.
This weekend, he can't wait to get the call.
Last Saturday, Palardy and Andy Lee sat two lockers down from each other, waiting to find out who had won the Panthers' punting job and would kick in this Sunday's season opener at San Francisco.
"I remember sitting here in my locker, and we were all lined up, and they came and got Andy," Palardy said. "Then Andy came back down and told all of us, and we wished him the best. As the day went on, it really sunk in.
