Last week's big news: EARTHQUAKE.
Earthquake?
— Richard Brehaut (@Brehaut12) August 8, 2012
Yes, it was an earthquake. A 4.5 out by Yorba Linda. This is a good time to remind everyone to check their emergency kits and their home emergency plans.
Did anyone just feel that
— Kevin McReynolds (@LifeofKM) August 8, 2012
Yes.
Earthquake!!!!

But remember, Kevin McReynolds is from DC, not California.
Everyone acts like earthquakes are nothing out here does anyone fear for there life? lol
— Kevin McReynolds (@LifeofKM) August 8, 2012
Not for a 4.5. I don't even get slightly worked up until it hits a 5.
We have another California newbie!
1st earthquake & I was sleep.

Don't worry Coach McCray, it wasn't big enough to worry about.
What is everyone Gunna do when the "big one" hits !? Lol

Probably freak out, clog the streets, and hope that the freeway doesn't collapse again like in 1989 Loma Prieta's or 1994's Northridge Quake.
And as I sit here and write 1989, I realize some of the kids weren't even born yet. Oof.
More tweets as I chase kids off my lawn after the jump.

Chris Kluwe is currently working on getting Adrian Peterson's abs. Um Chris, this might not be part of the diet:
Day 13 of Operation Adrian Abs. This is actually very similar to what AP has the night before a game.

On to our own gridiron, with Brett Hundley being named the starter, our other QBs chimed in, saying all the right things:
Can't stop competing.

It unfortunately always takes setbacks for you to appreciate success...can never stop working if it means that much to you

Dwight Howard is a Laker, everyone. Our long Dwight Howard national nightmare is over.
During the Dwight press conference, Kupchak should just say "Steve Nash and Dwight Howard" then drop the mic and retire
