Thankfully I have a walkable crawl space and have run ethernet under there to ports in the house. I could likely just follow that path. Good thought, thanks.

I've thought about exploring that. My lot has a similar issue. I'm in the lowest part of the caul-de-sac surrounded by trees on my north..which also means all my neighbors runoff travels through my yard. Ugh, but that's another post in off topic.

Nailed it.

Mind PM'ing me some deets? #I'mNotTheFCC

Now that the super bowl is over, I've never been happier to cancel my YouTubeTV subscription. You see, I adopted "live tv" streaming back with Playstation View when it was only $40/month. It was everything I wanted when cutting the cord. Got all my local channels (which is what I cared about at the time) + some sweeteners + cloud DVR. Then it went away and enter YouTubeTV as the next option. It started great at around ~$60/month (+/-). Then $65, then $70, now my bill is $85+ and of course it will keep going up. The only thing that is watched on our TV (that isn't netflix/prime or a service) is NFL football. I tried a powered HD antenna. I located all the antennas using a web site (I'm in Rock Hill, so they're all north of course). I put the antenna on a window facing North. But the stations were just outside of a reliable range. I can pick the channels up, but they digitally stutter and go in and out. I'd imagine if I was 5-7 miles more north, I'd be golden. With that context, what's the most cost-effective way to watch the panthers games and post-season next year? I am fine watching via Ipad and earbuds. I'm also fine using one of our stand alone Rokus and watching on our tv. My very quick research led me to the NFL+ app as a good option. What say you? Thanks!

Deer sweet baby Bryce. I know I am a sinner and I ask your forgiveness. I believe you threw for 251 yards and 3 passing touchdowns. You were dead to me, but rose up to save my grief. This day forward, I believe in you and trust to follow you to an amazing 8-9 record next year. AMEN.

And secondly, starting with the first home game of the 2025 regular season, Bryce needs to re-institute Cam’s old tradition of handing all of his touchdown balls to a kid dressed in Carolina garb in the stands. That tradition needs to return, and Young now has the credentials and the pull to make it happen. Can he reach that high?

One of the biggest differences I see in him now is the ability to move up into the pocket in the face of pressure and quickly process/see an "NFL open" receiver. He may have seen them before, but he was cautious to throw. Now he just let's it fly. Something just clicked or perhaps watching Andy take those shots encouraged him to go out there and rip. The best descriptor of where I'm at with him and the team is "encouraged" and that's a great feeling for a change.

Very cool perspective, thanks for sharing. Aside, my family and I took our first international trip last year. Went to England and Scotland for two weeks. We have never been out of the states (I'm 47 btw). We came away changed in our perspective of the people here in the US. The people in the UK were so polite, genuine, and helpful and we weren't only in tourist areas. We were in the country quite a bit - I rented a car and drove a lot through all the isles of Scotland. Anyway, now we're considering relocating there (if able) one day. My oldest daughter, who is a junior at Clemson majoring in Vet Science, now wants to apply to Vet School in Edinburgh, Scotland (not to mention it's a FRACTION of the cost of US vet schools). When I asked others, they basically said that most people in Europe are like that and the US is just...different. There are tradeoffs living in Europe (roads, hospitals, prices, WALMART), but the people...amazing. All that to say, yes if you can get to an international game, go for it! I think I'll add it to my bucket list too!

I think we can change the title to "when we end up with pick #1..."

Great take.

It’s a real gut punch to already be talking/planning next seasons draft already. Ugh.

After reading that, I just forgot the AI.

This inspired me to make made a meme.

And now it would mean a lot to me. Thoughts and prayers man. I lost my Mom when she was only 57. My oldest daughter was 4 and my youngest was a baby. The hardest part was knowing they would never know my Mom who was the most wonderful person in the world.
