"Panther Nation brought their A-game in their efforts to help the people of Haiti.  I received a ton of videos and pictures from people who were showing proof of their donations, and I couldn't be prouder of each and every one of you. (For a recap of what Panther Nation has been up to, check out this webisode.) I wanna share some of the videos that were sent to me via YouTube, so I created this playlist for you to watch. If you sent me one, you just might be featured in there somewhere!" - Chris Harris NFL from Bookmarklet

"So what's another favorite moment of mine from '09? ...I'm gonna have to go with my first turnover of the season against the New York Jets. Even though we lost the game, I can't help but hang on to the memory of that Sunday, because that one play was able to ignite what I feel was a pretty impressive season of me disrupting offenses." - Chris Harris NFL from Bookmarklet

"Man... The media came out in full-force last week with their help in spreading Panther Nation's efforts in healing Haiti. I was featured on Charlotte's NBC affiliate (WCNC), Cat Crave Radio, 89.1 The Point, and 90.5 WASU. And lemme tell ya... every interview was wonderful, because each one of them truly are class-acts. Everyone who works at each of those stations needs to keep doing what you're doing, because y'all do an excellent job." - Chris Harris NFL from Bookmarklet

"Ever since I started encouraging the generous fans of Panther Nation to contribute their hard-earned money to the Haiti Relief Fund, I've received quite a few touching messages from some people, and I'd like to share them with you, along with my own personal responses to them." - Chris Harris NFL from Bookmarklet

"Ira Cronin, sports anchor for the NBC affiliate in Charlotte (WCNC), came over to the house and interviewed me about all good work Panther Nation is doing.  Check out the vid below to see how it panned out" - Chris Harris NFL from Bookmarklet

Admirable efforts for sure - LANjackal from IM

All of us deserve a little admiration for doing our part for Haiti. - Chris Harris NFL

"Watching his performance against one of the premier football teams in the NFL stands as one of the most impressive accomplishments I think I'll ever witness.  I mean -- these guys have been good at defense for YEARS.  So for Jonathan to do what he did is simply AMAZING!  I stood there on the sidelines with a front row perspective of him breaking tackle, after tackle, after tackle, and I was AWESTRUCK.  His domination definitely helped us in our pursuit to play the spoilers of what the Giants hoped would be a victory in their final game at Giants Stadium." - Chris Harris NFL from Bookmarklet

"On behalf of Panther Nation, I've put together a nice little trumpet tribute for the people of Haiti.  I hope it inspires you to continue helping out with their healing process." - Chris Harris NFL from Bookmarklet

"You guys wanna do something special and have a little fun while we're at it? ...I thought so ;-) Let's lend a helping hand to all those who are suffering in Haiti. They don't have running water, electricity is out all over the place, their homes are destroyed, and loved ones are either missing, injured, or lost forever. It's really a sad, sad situation." - Chris Harris NFL

"Hey guys!  While we're all sitting around watching the Playoffs and, unfortunately, don't have any Panther playin' going on, I figured I'd start a little mini-series of webisodes where I run down my favorite moments of our 2009 season.  Maybe this discussion can satisfy our hunger for Panther content, at least a little bit ;-) So, in no particular order of importance, I give you my first favorite moment of my/our 2009 season..." - Chris Harris NFL from Bookmarklet

I bet you are Chris. Hey, how did you find Friendfeed and our lovely community? - Amani from IM

"Yesterday, on Twitter (Follow me at... @ChrisHarrisNFL), Panthers' fan Jason Key (@DarthWaya), asked... "As a player, do you guys pay any attention to the "toughest schedule" talk? Or is it that they're all tough?"" - Chris Harris NFL from Bookmarklet

"Last night, I was in beautiful Pasadena, California for what was an AMAZING National Championship game.  The game never stopped being entertaining and the atmosphere was ELECTRIC.  Texas' fans and Alabama's fans were goin' off the entire game with their support for their school.  If the Rose Bowl had a dome on it, that thing would've blown off!" - Chris Harris NFL from Bookmarklet

not much into college football but that had me going....Sweet Home Alabama. - Valz 4 Botts

Multitalented, nice. I can't even play a recorder :( - LANjackal

"MAN - we put together another impressive win this Sunday!  We're now 8-8, have a three game winning streak, and have won 4 of our last 5.  ...Not too bad, huh?" - Chris Harris NFL from Bookmarklet

"A few weeks ago, I'm sure there were a lot of people out there who wouldn't have been able to even dream that we'd be coming into the final Sunday of the regular season with a chance to lock down an 8-8 record.  Well, look at us now... that chance at a .500 season is staring us square in the face.  Sure... 8-8 isn't a winning season, but it damn sure isn't a losing season, either!" - Chris Harris NFL from Bookmarklet

"Roughly 3.8 million entries were submitted in my 2009 Christmas Caption Contest, but only one made me LOL a little more than all the rest.  Let's find out who the funny guy is... Your winner and recipient of one Carolina Panthers jersey, autographed by me, is..." - Chris Harris NFL from Bookmarklet

"Hey, hey... it's time to announce another winner in my 2009 Christmas Caption Contest.  Here we go... Second place, and the winner of a pair of "Hitman" cleats, autographed by me, is..." - Chris Harris NFL from Bookmarklet

"So, without further ado, here is your third place winner and recipient of a Carolina Panthers hat that I autographed..." - Chris Harris NFL from Bookmarklet

"Aaaaaah... MAN!  The win yesterday was AMAZING!  For us to go into Giants Stadium and do what we did is simply incredible!" - Chris Harris NFL from Bookmarklet

I'm a Giants fan but Lord knows you gave dem boys a beating yesterday. Do the same thing to the Saints and I'll forgive you ;). - LANjackal

I'm *not* a Giants fan (mutter, mutter, Superbowl, mutter, Manning, mutter) so that was great. How's Steve's arm? - Mark H

"Hey!  What's goin' on, guys!  It feels a heckuva lot better to be here talking to with you after a win than a loss! Last night's game was SO much fun to play in.  The guys were excited, playing with pride, and playing with purpose.  And as a result of all that energy, we did a great job on offense, defense and special teams." - Chris Harris NFL from Bookmarklet

Not such a warm welcome from my wife since she's a Viking at heart but, hell, that was so last week... - Mark H

"Happy Holidays, Panther fans!  With this being a season for giving, I want to show you guys and girls how appreciative the team and I are to have your support by presenting you with the opportunity to win a few Christmas presents that I've autographed.  Here's how the contest is gonna work..." - Chris Harris NFL from Bookmarklet

The Christmas presents I've autographed are a pair of "Hitman" cleats, a Carolina Panthers hat, and a Carolina Panthers Chris Harris jersey. Click the link and come play! - Chris Harris NFL

"I listen to sports radio - like ESPN and all that good stuff - and it seems like they're all underestimating our defense.  In the past three, four, five weeks, there have been a lot of analysts who're saying that our opponents are "coming out flat" against us.  Personally, I wouldn't say that's the case.  I'd like to think that we're just flat-out getting stronger on defense!" - Chris Harris NFL from Bookmarklet

"Today I'm heading out to practice to prepare for the Minnesota Vikings who are coming into town Sunday night.  Man, I'm excited for this one, not only because it's gonna be a killer game, but also because I have some friends on the other side of the ball." - Chris Harris NFL from Bookmarklet

"OOOOOH MAAAAN...  Yesterday's game was a TOUGH loss.  I felt like we really had a chance to win that thing!  The guys came out and fought hard both ways, but things just didn't work out how we wanted them to." - Chris Harris NFL from Bookmarklet

I swear there's not another hobby in the world that's more relaxing than spending some time with a musical instrument. So once the shopping was completed, I made sure to hang out with my trumpet for a while to relieve some stress. At one point, the Misses joined me on piano and we knocked around some Christmas tunes. After that show was over, I went solo for a while on my trumpet and played a little "What a Wonderful World," by Louis Armstrong. If you wanna see and hear me in action, hit the play button on the YouTube vid, down below. I hope ya dig it... - Chris Harris NFL from Bookmarklet

Love it Chris. Great to see a "real" side to a pro athlete. Keep it up. - DJ Stevie Steve

I happy ya liked it, Steve ;-) - Chris Harris NFL

"Basically, our guys need to step up - MYSELF INCLUDED - and play as hard as we can to pick up some of the slack that's fallen away as a result of having some of our key players down, and I'm certain we'll get that done.  We're all gonna have to take each of our performances to another level with Thomas out on defense - that's just the way it has to be." - Chris Harris NFL from Bookmarklet

"Oh man... what a tough loss last night.  We had a chance to win it - we really did - but we just didn't play the way we should've played. In the first quarter, we played well defensively, but after that, we couldn't really get off the field on the 3rd down.  There were just too many long drives on us.  Obviously, the game didn't unfold the way we planned it to, so this one's definitely a tough pill to swallow." - Chris Harris NFL from Bookmarklet

Awesome to see you on FF Chris. Carolina will now be my #2 team. - DJ Stevie Steve

Steven... Ha! Glad to hear it! - Chris Harris NFL
