Jake Won't Start For Carolina. Weinke In

Chris Weinke #16 / Quarterback / Backup

Height: 6-4 Weight: 232
Born: Jul 31, 1972 - St. Paul, MN
College: Florida State
Draft: 2001 - 4th round (11th pick) by the Carolina Panthers

Barring a significant recovery by Jake Delhomme, backup Chris Weinke is expected to start for Carolina on Sunday against the New York Giants.

Weinke took all the snaps in practice this week as Delhomme nursed an injured right thumb. Delhomme has also struggled this season, including an interception against Philadelphia on Monday night that ended the Panthers' hopes for a comeback win.

In anticipation of Delhomme not playing, the Panthers activated quarterback Brett Basanez from the practice squad. Basanez may open the game as the No. 2 quarterback

Jake Delhomme suffered a really significant thumb injury against Philadelphia on Monday, so it looks as though Weinke is in. Carolina is holding it's collective breath, guys.

Kate Hudson and Chris Robinson File For Divorce

Chris Robinson to Divorce Kate Hudson

Published: 11/18/06, 1:25 AM E



LOS ANGELES (AP) - Rocker Chris Robinson filed for divorce from Kate Hudson on Friday, citing irreconcilable differences. The 39-year-old frontman for the Black Crowes has been married to the 27-year-old actress for nearly six years. They announced their separation in August.

According to the Superior Court filing, Robinson is seeking shared custody of the couple's son, Ryder Russell Robinson, who will turn 3 in January.

Hudson, daughter of Goldie Hawn, was nominated for a supporting-actress Oscar for her role as rock groupie Penny Lane in 2000's "Almost Famous." Other screen credits include "You, Me and Dupree" and "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days."

A call to Hudson representative Brad Cafarelli for comment after business hours Friday was not immediately returned.

Robinson's band formed in 1990 and released its first CD, "Shake Your Money Maker," that year.

Its hits include "Hard to Handle" and "She Talks to Angels."
