The NFL Shield At Midfield

Ah that's sick. Was lukewarm on that typeface when we had it but it's such a picture perfect example of the 90s "extreme" thing. e: and the old logo at midfield finally

Hugo was a very powerful hurricane that made landfall in South Carolina and rocketed up to Charlotte so fast that it was still a Category 1 when it was over town. If Ian had spent some more time over the ocean and the track was just a little different it could have been a similar outcome. I can't blame people if they got queasy watching it.

turned on me telly expectin to see norf fc and instead it's this yank shite where they touchin the bloody ball with 'er 'ands

Nah Jake the Snake was well out of the league by then. It was Jimmy Pickles' first and only (so far, never stop believing) career win as a starter. I don't even remember who Arizona was starting at quarterback then, I had to look it up. John Skelton vs. Jimmy Clausen in a quarterback duel for the ages.

I had to do a double take at his age based on that lyric, I always figured he was a real young dude when that song blew up. He was 31 or 32 when it hit. e: it's kind of funny how that song has so utterly eclipsed the movie it came from. Dangerous Minds, a mediocre 90s hood drama.

Panthers/Cards in 2010 was a banger. We were basically alone in our section.

You knew it was bad when they showed his hands and it looked like he was playing jazz guitar

Depends on the model, ICON has been dead nuts so far The NHC Fun Cone continues to shift east as of 8 AM

I still remember that dream NFL roster he made where Jordy Nelson and Wes Welker were his two starting WRs

Friendship ended with GFS and Euro, now ICON is my best friend

Still drifting east

Teddy Two Gloves doing what he does.

Latest NHC track is a hair east of the 5:00

Yep our buddy Ian seems hellbent on being another Fran and rumbling through central NC. I wouldn't be shocked if those of us in the triangle are in the danger cone by the 2 AM update.

Ventusky doesn't have its own models or forecasts, it animates the data generated by models like ICON or GFS. If you look in the bottom left there's a dropdown box to choose which one you want. The National Hurricane Center generates its forecasts based on an aggregate of like four or five different models, so if one model is way off what the others are predicting it won't be reflected in the track until the others come to a consensus. GFS and ECMWF which are two of the other main models NOAA uses haven't predicted as wild of a swing east as ICON has yet, although it seems to be creeping that way.

"You know, I could really go for another year throwing up Busch Ice at 3 AM"

Yeah look at how successful the Lions were with Sanders. They definitely didn't crush his soul and force him into early retirement.

Becoming?

Next thing you know he's going to be hunched over an acoustic guitar in a studio surrounded by lit candles belting out "The Man Who Sold the World"

woof that's like, 90s high fashion heroin face

True, I'm in my mid 30s and decided it would be a good idea to start skateboarding again. On that note if I don't post for a while it's because I'm dead

Something that's always bewildered me, particularly having dabbled in daily fantasy somewhat (boo hiss), is how many other teams seem to just be able to poo running backs. Like you'll see some team starting Joe Random, the rookie from TCU or Oregon State or something because the starter is out, and they'll pop off for 100 and 2 TDs like it's nothing. Meanwhile we can't find a back to spell Christian McCaffrey who doesn't put the ball on the ground like it's his job.

Didn't this guy play for the Jets in one of the most brutal sports markets with some of the most unforgiving fans in the country? I've always been weirded out by him going after fans like he has, you'd think he'd be used to it.

I'd say the fanbase was more demoralized and bitter when it dropped that Andrew Luck was going back to Stanford. Not by much though and Tepper/Rhule are gunning for the record. We had just been through a season of pure hell, the franchise was hollowed out with no quarterback, labor negotiations were spiraling toward a lockout, and the guy most of us thought was the savior had basically told us to fug off. And a few weeks after that we got the infamous pie chart conference. e: oh yeah and it was rumored that Panther reps were waiting for Harbaugh in the tunnel after the Orange Bowl and he didn't even acknowledge them. Then Jerry Richardson acted like he had never heard of him when the press asked about it lol.
