Default Rear Brake Pads Rubbing

Hey Guys:
Finally have over 200 miles on the cobra (weak..I know) but ran into an issue. Yesterday, it was about 95 degrees out and I was cruisin in the cobra. When I got to a stoplight after about 40 mins of driving I noticed smoke coming out of the left rear tire/rim area. I got home took the temperature of the rotor and it was over 500 degrees! The rest of the rotors were in the 180ish range. Anyway, I checked my ebrake cables and they were NOT pulling on either rear brake with the ebrake handle disengaged. When I removed the wheel, it appears that the pads are rubbing on the disc with no play. I can't wiggle either pad like I can on other discs. In fact both rears seem to have less play than the front. I can move the wheel by hand but I definitely feel some resistance over an above the gears in the rear end. If this isn't an e-brake cable adjustment issue, what could it be?
