Let's hear some other approvals

By now you've probably heard a few thousand of those political ads that always end with “I'm so-and-so, and I approved this message.”

I started wondering what sports figures from the Carolinas might say in a similar sentence. Here's where it came out – bearing in mind that it's Halloween and I'm feeling sort of mischievous today.

I'm Bob Johnson, and I approved this mess.

I'm Adam Morrison, and I approved this haircut.

I'm Carl Edwards, and I approved this chokehold.

I'm Bruton Smith, and I approved this genuflection.

I'm Scott Fowler, and I approved this column mug shot that makes me look half-dead.

I'm Jake Delhomme, and I approved this biscuit.

I'm Jimmie Johnson, and I approved this blandness.

I'm Michael Jordan, and I approved this cloak of invisibility.

I'm Roy Williams, and I approved this Kansas sticker.

I'm Mike Krzyzewski, and I approved this snarl.

I'm Sean May, and I approved this cheeseburger.

I'm Julius Peppers, and I approved this awkward silence.

I'm Butch Davis, and I approved this contract extension.

I'm Tony Stewart, and I approved this tape recorder.

I'm Steve Spurrier, and I approved this minor bowl.

I'm Stephen Curry, and I approved this position switch.

I'm Jeff Davidson, and I approved this draw play.

I'm Tyler Hansbrough, and I approved this leap off a frat-house balcony.

I'm Steve Smith, and I approved this image rehab.

I'm Ken Lucas, and I approved this reconciliation.

I'm Bob McKillop, and I approved this game with the Charlotte 49ers – oh, wait a minute.

I'm Ric Flair, and I approved this black eye.

I'm Larry Brown, and I approved this heartburn.

I'm John Fox, and I approved this cliché.
