Captain Morgan

a new Anchor Bar franchise opened bout half a mile from my house. The buffalo wing was invented at the Anchor in Buffalo in the early 60s. The place has a room just for viewing football games and I was told it's been packed with Bills fans for the first 2 preseason games. Kinda want to put on some Panthers gear and strut my fat ass in there right now!

wow! way to go Jackets! the last two games for FSU have been demoralizing for an undefeated team

Jesper!!!

Darin Gantt @daringantt · 33s The second OL on the field also with Plummer: LT Christensen, LG Boettger, C Raym, RG Brooks, RT Lee.

ready for the second series..... the first Bryce Young opening drive: - 6/8 for 70 yards and a touchdown - Connected with five different targets - Threw well to his left and improvised off pressure/scramble drills - #Panthers had a 12-play, 85-yard drive in less than 7 minutes.

INTERCEPTION!!!

first possesion, a TD. finally. dinked and dunked it all the way down the field

usually the last players cut are the most valuable ones, but it pays to watch the early cuts for salary reasons especially

I'm hoping for at least a competitive game, like in the joint practice. Saleh rubbed me the wrong way with his comments after last year's game. Plus he just looks like a dick

Darin Gantt @daringantt · 2m CB Dane Jackson being carted off the practice field.

we'd save 18 million if we trade him. I'll take a 7th. Or maybe Dallas has a center we could get

NFL network has Houston at Pittsburgh at 7, followed by Philly at the Ravens (might be fun)

I just don't get why we keep Mays. He's been pad everytime he plays

our GM likes to churn the bottom of the roster, so we may see some of these guys

Be aware, practice could be disrupted this week because of Tropical Storm Debby. It could be a hurricane when it makes landfall in Florida Monday morning It is expected to remain closer to the coast, but for those who live in that region, we could get a foot of rain between now and Thursdays.

and this time next year...our second draftee into the Hall, and another first year eligible Hall of Famer Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter First-time eligibles for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2025 include: Eli Manning Terrell Suggs Marshawn Lynch Earl Thomas Aqib Talib Adam Vinatieri Luke Kuechly Marshal Yanda LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKKKKKIKEEEEEEE

his final words were fantastic. Good to hear you Julius! It's been worth the wait

Julius is next!!!! ESPN and NFL Network

the Steve McMichael presentation....dusty in here

The first player drafted by the Carolina Panthers to be inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame... The pride of Wilson, NC, we drafted him with the #2 pick of the 2002 draft. He played DL and RB in High School (!). He finished his career with 3,501 rushing yards and 46 touchdowns. He also was All Conference in basketball as a power forward. And was part of his high school track team he won a state championship in the relay and the Male Athlete of The Year by the NC High School Atheletic Association. At 6'7'' and 290 pounds with blazing speed, he was an anomaly. A true freak of nature in which the whole was greater than the sum of the parts...an athletic animal. And a quiet and sequestered human being. His first year at UNC he led the nation in sacks with 15. While at UNC he walked on the basketball team and was on a Final Four team. His NFL impact was immediate. 3 sacks and a forced fumble in his second game alone. The awards piled up in high school, college and the pros, and now, he will inducted, rightfully, in the Hall of Fame. But he has always been a silent giant. Some of our younger members may not remember his playing days, but I remember when the Big Cat himself called on Julius to step up and be a vocal leader of the team. This was after Julius had received a 16 million dollar contract. I remember at the time thinking that was a million dollars per game, and wondered if anyone was worth that. Now there are players making 30 to 50 million dollars a year. But Julius stayed quiet and left for greener pastures, and a lot of us were mad at him. Yet he came back, and was welcomed home. He retired as a Panther, and was inducted into the Panthers Hall of Fame last year. He has remained connected to the team. And the people he grew up with. After Hurricane Florence, Julius participated in disastor relief efforts in Lumberton, starting a relief fund with a $100,000 donation. Cam Newton matched that, and other teammates chipped in. While he was the verbal opposite of Cam, he was respected so much by those who knew him better than most...those who played with him, and against him. This week Julius has opened up more than ever, and it turns out the introspective athletic freak actually writes....sometimes notes or journals, but also creative writing and even songs. Never would have guess that. But tomorrow, he will speak. He will receive a gold jacket, and he will be celebrated. He will join one of the most elite fraternties that athletics recognizes. And for once, we will hear what the quiet giant has to say. I'll be watching. You should too. This is not a good time to be a Panthers fan, but for those who have been around since the beginning, and for those who have joined since then and stay the thin years, this a moment to revel in being a Panther fan. For this weekend, let's be proud of not only one of the greatest Panthers ever, but one of football's greatest players ever. Wear that Gold Jacket proudly Julius!
