Panthers punter Swayze Waters likes goats, will try not to be one

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- "Goat" is the last word with which anybody in sports wants to be associated -- unless, that is, you're new Carolina Panthers punter Swayze Waters.

Waters likes goats.

Big ones, little ones. Brown ones, white ones.

He likes them all.

According to Waters, 28, the goat "is the most underappreciated animal known to man."

The same thing could be said in the NFL about punters, which might have something to do with the connection Waters has with an animal whose name has a "baaaa-d" connotation in sports.
