Yes, we might see Vinny Testaverde starting for the Panthers on Sunday.

We couldn't possibly be more thrilled.

"If called upon, I feel like I could do it," Testaverde said. "I'll do whatever they ask me to do and that's why I'm here. I feel comfortable in any situation. We'll just go forward from here and see what happens. Hopefully, I won't have to take a snap this year. If that's the case, we'll have a great year."

We'd like to repeat our favorite fact about Vinny: He's color blind. This will never fail to amuse us. We can't imagine Vinny knows too many of the plays just yet, but we don't think this will stop him from throwing for 400 yards, and then tossing an interception to lose the game.

<![CDATA[To The Buzzsaw Rescue ... Vinny!]]> The locker room of The Buzzsaw That Is The Arizona Cardinals is looking like it might be turning a little bit more funky: The jam master that is Vinny might be back in town.

The Cardinals are giving Vinny Testaverde a tryout today to serve as the backup for Kurt Warner. Awesome.

The Cardinals would have a 1-2 quarterback combination with a combined age approaching 80. Warner is 36, and Testaverde turns 44 on Nov. 13.

Cardinals starting center Al Johnson, who played with Testaverde with the Dallas Cowboys during the 2004 season, says he's be a valuable addition. "Vinny's a real pro, he's as strong as an ox, and he's probably one of my favorite guys I've ever been around, just because of the way he handles himself, whether things were going good or things were going bad," Johnson said.

Testaverde is competing with Tim Rattay for the backup job, and we're gonna think if Rattay can't beat out Vinny, he'll probably just make it official and retire. But seriously, folks: Vinny Testaverde backing up Kurt Warner! Leinart, no offense, man ... but we're not gonna miss you at all.
