this should make the end of the year Huddle awards ceremony in New York even more exciting. Hope the swag bag is similar to last year with the Rolex and the Alaska Cruise. Frankly just the catering from Wolfgang Puck is worth it.

our long national nightmare is almost over. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, and it looks suspiciously like Derrick Brown coming through the B gap.

glad to hear he's a good guy...I'm sure as hell pulling for him.

LiAngelo Ball is expected to sign a deal with the Charlotte Hornets, according to Roderick Boone of Sports Illustrated’s Hornets site, All Hornets. The deal will allow Ball to play with the team during the Las Vegas Summer League. It will also reunite him with his brother LaMelo Ball who just capped off a great first season by winning Rookie of the Year. Rumors of a Ball brothers reunion began to surface when LiAngelo appeared on Devonte’ Graham's Instagram. Graham was working out with multiple Hornets teammates including LaMelo, PJ Washington, and the Martin twins. He was filming all his teammates when he panned the camera to show LiAngelo there as well. https://www.atthehive.com/2021/7/24/22591995/charlotte-hornets-news-liangelo-ball-signs-summer-league?utm_campaign=atthehive&utm_content=chorus&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

now that I've watched the video, I feel even better about my suspicions that we've drafted our best corner ever, and a chance to be the best player we've ever drafted. Kollman, who I've never heard of, obviously knows what he's talking about, and for him to say Jaycee is the best he's seen since Ramsey is pretty impressive. I'm not sure I've ever been more excited about a draft pick. Also, I hope to see more posts from Kollman.

puts him back late October. Don't forget their DT Onyemata has a 6 game suspension to start the season and we're still waiting to see the punishment Lattimore will get for his felony arrest.

I'll never forget DJax telling that offensive lineman "That's Julius Peppers. Choose your battles, man"

excellent synopsis, OP, thanks

hopefully Darnold becomes our franchise QB. If so, we need to spend a 4th or 5th next year on backup.

only the Jets, Jaguars and Broncos have more cap space than we do this year, but we're 14th for next year.

South Carolina just increased regulations for flounder... " The results from a 2019 study of the Southeast’s flounder, one of the region’s most sought-after saltwater fish, were sobering: the research showed that southern flounder numbers were at historically low levels across the region due to overfishing. Following the regional study, biologists from the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) confirmed similar trends in South Carolina waters: the overall abundance, number of young fish produced and average size of southern flounder were all down. A public survey showed similar observations and concerns among South Carolina anglers, who expressed a strong preference for quickly rebuilding the fishery. Now, the South Carolina General Assembly has responded with a suite of changes that will reduce the harvest of southern flounder in South Carolina waters, allowing the population to begin recovery. The new regulations include a minimum size limit of 16 inches and allow a catch limit of 5 fish per person per day and no more than 10 fish per boat per day. Previously, the minimum size limit was 15 inches, and the catch limit was 10 fish per person per day and 20 fish per boat per day. These changes apply to all Paralicthys species in South Carolina, which includes Gulf and summer flounder in addition to southern flounder. The new regulations will take effect July 1, 2021." https://www.dnr.sc.gov/news/2021/jun/jun22-flounder.php

one more week.....one more week....

all 26 of them over the last 2 weeks. " The first thing that jumps out to me is the fact that Jalen Johnson got his own individual workout. That’s more likely by design from his camp rather than special interest from the Hornets, but I found it notable nonetheless. Johnson, James Bouknight, Keon Johnson, and Isaiah Jackson all have the potential to come off the board when the Hornets make their selection at 11 overall. Charles Bassey, JT Thor, Joshua Primo, Jaden Springer, Chris Duarte, and Roko Prkacin, among others, are all projected to go in the late first or early second round. The Hornets don’t currently own a pick in that range (they have 56 and 57 along with 11). They’re likely just doing their due diligence, but they could have plans to make some moves on draft night to end up with a pick around the turn between rounds." https://www.atthehive.com/2021/7/14/22576639/charlotte-hornets-2021-nba-draft-workouts

you take someone with that kind of athletic ability, and the work ethic he's shown so far, the desire to surpass and define greatness....

I'm so starved for some Panthers info I don't care if all you report on is shoe colors.

surprised Cam got it and not Shaq. Growing more concerned about LT by the day.

we also have Perryman under contract next year at a very good deal for us, allowing us to keep him cheap or cut and run. Let's hope he can be the guy. We'll need a new OLB next year, but with Perryman and Jermaine, I hope we have our ILB situation firmed up in the short term.

not a lot of fat to cut after Shaq....we are in excellent shape. I was looking at numbers this morning...hopefully we can get a LT in the first round next year...we need linebackers, and a FS, and a stud guard and center would be nice. However, we have the cash now to sign a top flight OT next year, and Jessie Bates is a free agent next year at free safety. The market, as always, for LT next year is very tight and very expensive...but we can be players. We're closer than we think....if Darnold can be the guy.
