That's unfortunate for sure. He is a really good player, but WFT paid him starter money, which we couldn't match. Sucks but that's the business of the NFL. I hope he's able to get well soon. I loved him as a Panther, and I wish him nothing but success (just not against us!). In the 21st century, schadenfreude is everyone's favorite pass time.

ESPN Analytics' simulation. You're not gonna like it...maybe
d-dave replied to top dawg's topic in Carolina Panthers
Man, I can't wait for the actual games to start....this is all getting too click-baity. Projections are fun, but they aren't the actual games. So take every single one with a giant grain of salt. I can only hope that we're pushing for a playoff spot in December. That's where I think we should be. If not, then we should easily be able to see why we're not improving. -
I know I pay basically a cable bill, but I'd rather pay for what I'm watching: $8 - Discovery $8 - Disney (with ESPN+/Hulu Bundle) $12 - Hulu (minus Disney subsidy) $15 - HBO $15 - Netflix $8 - Paramount Amazon (not counting since it's part of the life style lol) Total: $66 But I don't have to watch many ads at all. I also have a TV antenna for my live sports needs. I pay spectrum the $76 or whatever it is. Ouch town, but it's the best option for us right now. So that puts me at $142. I can't recall the exact prices off hand, but that's pretty close I think. How much would it cost for Cable, a DVR, multiroom service + HBO? Over $200. Personally, I'm super happy with my various streaming packages! They generally work, and they also we get to watch what we want to watch on our own schedule. Even if we had cable, we'd still want to have Netflix and Disney + for their original programming. Say what you will, I love my HBO, and I will keep paying for it. 2-3 movies a month (as a family), several series I watch... It's easier than trying to find decent quality torrents. With Hulu (not live, just commercial free), I LOVE the library of on demand titles. So long as hulu has that, we'll keep paying for it. Being able to watch shows a day or two after they air is also super cool.

Yep, he came out a hot mess of positions, but with the athletic profile to become a really good FB. Which he did. I'd love to see him back.

Geez, that sucks. I still have so much love for what Cam has done for us over his career with the Panthers, and I hoped him well in his post Carolina stops. Cam won't stay on the streets for too long. There are teams out there with way worse QB situations than we have, and teams who will look for a spark. Cam will just have to wait for the inevitable injuries or plain bad QBs to show out the first few weeks. Will he have success? Who knows? How much does he have left as a runner and passer? Again, who knows.

I would. He's an actual fullback, not a converted TE.

My wife and I have been following the hurricane pretty intently. Admittedly, we started to care while watching Pitbulls And Pareolees. Seeing the danger they are in is scary. When are people going to realize that we need that do better. In all things.

So... Sam Darnold. Are you encouraged or discouraged
d-dave replied to Zod's topic in Carolina Panthers
I was really impressed with the two minutes drill to finish the half. He was decisive in making throws, which is fantastic to see. Having CMC out there is going to change how defenses approach our offense. I don't care about the stats except for turnovers and improving in the red zone. If Darnold can improve in those area, it's going to be a pleasant surprise! -

This is so true of most large northern cities. Not all, but most have this same kind of shittiness. -
He's just 30 now... the whole thing is so crazy. Folks can say all they want to about how soft the NFL is now a days, but I don't think these guys should have to end up brain dead for my entertainment. There are quite a few things that they can do to help reduce the risk of injury, which I'm all for.

Geez! That's terrible. I hate it for Becton, and I as well wish him a fully and healthy recovery. I think most Panther fans have a different perspective on concussions as we've seen two of our best MLBs have their careers cut short by them. I hate it for these guys, period. Sure they sign up for it, they do generally get paid very well, but I still feel my stomach drop reading about these events. I still have images of Luke sitting on a cart, crying and being completely dazed.

Oh man, just saw that the Collectors Edition was $250...too rich for me, despite the sweet additions.. https://www.bungie.net/7/en/destiny/buy/WitchQueen I'm really excited to see what the actual "Loot Cave" is. I love them digging into the humorous history of Destiny with that.

I love it! My kid an I might have to battle each other!

If you hate Destiny, I get it. Everyone has their games they love. Destiny is that game for me, for better and worse Today was the live stream which showed off some of the things we have to look forward to in the coming year with The Witch Queen expansion on 2.22.22 (nice date there). I will probably (definitely) take a day off later that week as log in servers stabilize to jump in fully. So Destiny is starting to really change. The past year has really seen the storytelling improve by leaps and bounds. There are character arcs throughout, though we remain the silent protagonist who is the tip of the mighty spear that kills evil with impunity. Still some cool stuff in that role, but I do miss having any kind of voice.. After watching that, I am so beyond pumped and amazed. I'm going to preorder to uber edition ASAP. The new ghost...oh boy! I can't wait! There is a separate Bungie 30th party in December where the loot cave becomes a dungeon. Oh yeah! And Gally is coming back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I finally sat down and watched it a week ago. Man, what a fun fun movie! I loved how Idris Elba was completely tired of everyone's crap. Such a wonderful character! Though I think King Shark stole the show for me. And Polk-a-Dot man was wonderfully done with such a heartbreaking story. It was really good James Gunn work. The lesson that DC should learn is to trust it's directors, and not freakout about it's IP. Well, they should also learn that having a strong visionary at the helm helps a lot instead of a bunch of pencil pushers. That helps a lot too. Oh an light. Being able to see the actors is good!

Man, one day he's a sure fire roster cut, next day we get SOMETHING out of him. Amazing...
-
Ron will always be a better man that coach. He was a really good coach, and had teams that had his back. I have so much love for Rivera the person. Yeah, it got to a point where he was done here, and that's OK. I wish him nothing but the best in life, and loses to the Panthers.

Panther in each of next 4 HOF classes?
d-dave replied to Santee_Panther's topic in Carolina Panthers
Yeah, Sam Mills means much more to the Carolina Panthers as a LB, coach and inspiration. I'm not sure the NFL recognizes that he was truly dominant. He was great in so many ways, but I'm not sure of the HoF. Smitty, Pep and Luke are all locks. I think that Smith and Luke are 1st ballots. There were absolutely dominate, best at their position. Smith did his best work when the Panthers were a run first team. It's crazy when you consider his effectiveness compared to guys who played in more high volume attacks. You knew it was going to 89, and he still dominated. -
I try to be patient, but some of the real poo posters, I just don't feel like dealing with. It's all main forum posts that do it. I haven't ignored anyone in the TB because of posts there.

It was done in 1993! Right? Or has Kang been messing with us???? I'm just asking questions!

That sucks! Best of luck that your kids don't end up with long haul covid. One of my students is steal dealing with long haul covid. Her stomach barely works. She's lost 30 pounds in four months and just doesn't eat some days. There is so much bull crap out there regarding the "viability" of the pseudoscience about the bad of vaccines. The reality is that the SARS-Covid viruses have been around for a long time, the vaccine has been in a development for a while. The side effects are very low compared to how dangerous the Covid-19 is for the unvaccinated. The problem is so many people think that a slick website after 10 minutes of google searching is more than enough proof for them. Talk to your physician. Then get vaccinated. But back to the rest of this: Good luck @Zod! Hope your kids make a full recovery and can get vaccinated soon.

So I've been on my own journey since April, for real. I started counting my calories, and my fitbit app does a good job of counting macros for me. I started on a ridiculous sounding program that came up in a facebook ad, Basement Beasts. Sure, whatever, try it for free for 30 days? Ok. I did and I LOVE it. I'm not here to evangelize the program, lord knows there's enough out there. Instead my main advice would be to find something you enjoy and that works in your life. If you can't work it in, you'll never get it done. For some that's cross fit, others traditional gyms, or whatever you like. Just keep doing it. That was always my biggest problem - keeping it up. Since April, I've lost 25 pounds. I've shrunk several inches on my waist line (going to actually need a new belt!), and while I don't look radically different, lots of my fat has been replaced by gaining muscle underneath. Like upper pecks - I never had much there. Always my big ole moobs. Because I've watched my diet and been consistent with my workouts, I have a chest that isn't embarrassing. If you're getting started - focus on WHY you're doing it every day. I do it for my family. I need to be here for them. Getting healthy will help me if I get alzheimer/dementia like my father and his mother did. It also feels good! Like my knees feel so much better! Go figure! Keep that goal in your mind every day. Like at our back to school breakfast they had Chick-fil-a biscuits. I LOVE biscuits, and I haven't had any in a LONG while. It's not cheat day. I stood there and watched my peers stuff their faces with biscuits for an hour. I keep my hands on my hips, feeling how much smaller they were, how strong my back and shoulders felt. So I didn't really feel bad. Then I came home after work, and rocked out a killer leg day. What's your goal? What's stopping you from getting there?

I don't know...driver's education class? Watching a loved one die slowly of dementia? Making polite small talk with a Falcons fan who is your boss? Burning diarrihea? Not in order. Moving is definitely in the top 5 worst things ever. We tried using pods since there was a week between leaving the old house and moving in. That SUCKED. You still had to load and unload all your stuff. My wife and I survived that, it was just exhausting. Next time, especially since we think our next move is out of state - we're hiring movers. I'm 41, and I'm too old to do this crap again!

Cam Newton, Steve Young, Kurt Warner, and Troy Aikman
d-dave replied to SBBlue's topic in Huddle Lounge
Man, got to say that's pretty rare company! Best of luck to Cam! Sucks he was hung out to dry here, but we did have some fun! -
Huddle got to Huddle. I guess its time to write off the team for another decade right? Since the team didn't make the moves y'all would have made. I'm glad for football being back! I'm excited for the hope and optimism of training camp! We don't know what the team is really going to look like until the games count. I guess if you want to be hypercritical now, enjoy?
