Past 6 months I have enet through a divorce and though it was just finalized there is a child involved so my stress continues on. Wasn't the best of divorces with some dramatic crap and lots of worrying about my child's future and well being that still continues to this day. One of my two outlets have been coming here to read news and updates and just talk with you all. My other outlet has been the gym. This particular outlet I have done so from my phone and my couch in front of the tv at night etc. Sometimes in between visits with clients with my work etc. The point is you guys have been there and I really appreciate it. Everyone of you, even the smart asses I appreciate just having seen your conversations, your team updates, your news your bitching, your friendly banter and everything else. Thank you for providing me an outlet in the hardest time I have ever had in my life. I haven't been a very religious person all my life so this will sound hypocritical but God bless each of you even the ones I think are kind of assholes at times as some of you may have thought I was in the past. I will always be thankful you all helped me through something so damn hard in my life and you didn't even know it. Just had to at least say that. Carry on with the banter and debates and arguments and insults and friendly remarks as well. It is all what makes you all my outlet to deal with stress. Much love, gratitude and respect.

He also adds a ton of info daily and is the reason I have picked up on a number of team related news facts. I don't agree with him on everything all the time much like anyone else since we are all different individuals but he is always respectful even when disrespected on here and seems to be an okay guy. It's a message board and doesn't matter if he responds to Evey single post and reply on this board. Free country and he is just carrying on conversation. Who cares, life has too much other stress than to feel it on an internet message board. I used to be this way too and get all pissed at posters but in the end it took me to realize that's it's a damn internet message board and we are all different with different opinions on everything from politics to favorite color of underwear but at least we all support the same team do we have that in common.

I can't blame staff members for wanting to fly away especially since the coach looks clueless and they may be banking that they all get the axe after this year. As bad as the offensive line was this past year I really don't care and they could all leave for other teams just to see if q whole new set of coaches could right that ship. I don't care what the case is though I still don't want Rhule and just wish he would go away.

Why don't you like that? I realize we have a Super Bowl Sunday type tradition but I could see an advantage of not being as tired on a Monday which is the start of the work week for many people. Super Bowl Saturday does sound a bit weird to me I admit.

Former NFL player, almost the off season when people talk anything's and everything they can find football related and not much news from last week because The Pro Bowl sucks donkey balls.

This exactly. Could not be more true.

If he is truly guilty he will just pay off the person and nothing will happen to him like usual. It's just how sports works. If you are an accomplished athlete you can do whatever you want if you are willing to open up the check book. Same thing with Watson. He will merely pay off people and it will go away. Look at Ben Rottenburger the recently retired rapist from years ago. He paid that woman off and it went away. People love that rapist to death and cried when he retired. How about Ray Lewis. Help chop up a couple people and then lie to protect those who you helped do it. Nothing. Of course I do think he made it to trail but somehow evidence was not enough so he got off but was obvious he was there, involved and covered up. OJ killed those two and got nothing but less movie offers. The Naked Gun series was over at that point anyhow so no big deal on the movies I guess. Not just athletes but 99% of the time a true celeb can get away with most anything if they open up that check book. This isn't political or any other BS someone may make it out to be. It's just a matter of being a celeb and having the extreme cash to write a check and make it go away. I guess people look at it like it's better to get a check and love easy rest of their lives than to continue on with the trial so I can't blame them too awful much.

I don't guess so. In retrospect it all went to hell with that group of guys and all left angry after being released. You are right and who knows maybe Smith would have angered KB so much it would have lit some sort of fire under him. When it's all said and done I wish we had kept Smith and KB as long as Smith would have allowed Cam to develop and not bullied him around. Smith was worth releasing if he would have hurt Cams development but he was worth keeping if he would not have. As far as KB goes now that it's all said and done I would have to agree with you and say it would have been worth the risk to keep Smith and him to see what happened since it all went to crap with KB anyhow. Sad either way how his only productive years were with us and once gone he could play to his potential with anybody else because I guess he completely lost his heart for the game for whatever reasons.

Again another one you have posted that intrigues me too. Hell, I will take him as well! I just want a great O-lineman draft at this point! A bunch of guys to keep whatever QB we have out there upright on his feet and healthy.

That's where I go when I try to convince my kid that we not waste a ton of money at Five Guys. Much cheaper and almost as good! Their milkshakes also kick serious ass.

I sure hope so. And yes the head coach candidates really didn't look very exciting this year at all. Maybe next year brings us something better of things continue to look like they have.

Funchess was one of the softest big WR's I've ever seen as well. God what an awful pick he was and such a bad player to add in with KB

I agree it's not but our head coach isn't very exciting either unfortunately. I am to the point where I would take almost anyone other than Rhule. I guess I have read too much and now I just flat out don't like the guy at all. He seems like a real prick like Bill Bellicheck yet but couldn't even come close to holding Bills jock in the coaching skills and knowledge department. At least be good at something. If you suck as a coach then be a super nice guy like Ron Rivera. Or if you're a prick then be a great coach like Bill in New England but whatever you do don't be a douche and suck at your job.

Funchess was a terrible choice to pair him with. He was like KB except a weaker more wimpy version. Yeah a Diggs and KB with a strong mind and work ethic could have been hard to stop and brought us a super bowl for sure!

It would have been very interesting to see the outcome had Smith still been there for sure. And no doubt, KB was very entitled. That guy had all world talent in the begining and immense size to bully around corners. In my eyes that was one of the saddest wastes of talent I have seen from someone who could have been a yearly all pro. Supreme genetics and an ability to play yet he didn't have the mindset for it.

That's a great kind of nasty to have for an O-lineman I believe. If he can control that nasty and use it to his advantage he could be an awesome player.

That's a big boy! I will take one of him at guard for a later round pick and a top tier left tackle in the first round

Slightly off subject but still has some merit to this thread.... Anybody want to chime on the best current fast food burger? I will say Five Guys but damn are they way too expensive these days. Great burger but not worth the cost at all.

Now this is very true. I feel like Smith would have held KB back or maybe even did one of his classic sucker punches when he least expected it if he ended up getting some of his potential targets.

Oh I agree but Gettlmen apparently needed one more big slow guy in Funnchess. I never understood pairing those two together.

And ......... Panthers: Matt Rhule (still?) Ugh one more season of bad decisions and setting the team back further before Tepper learns his lesson I guess.

He had so much potential it really is a shame. Could have been a damn amazing WR for years to come for us. Now who knows what he is doing.

Oh yeah I heard they were lined up as offensive and defensive coordinators. That organization is stacked with talent running it at all levels. I also heard David Caradine may be heading up the strength training department but he is currently just "hanging" around holding his breath and waiting for a response from his agent on his contract being finalized. Okay damn, that one was just classless I'm sorry.

Just as figure heads. The true runners of football operations behind the scenes will be Tony Montana and Biggie Smalls.

Apple doesn't seem like the best of teammates and sort of like a spoiled brat but if it's true what Rhule said he is one overconfident prick and most people enjoy watching jerks like Rhule fail which gives us bad Karma. The more I hear about Rhule the more I dislike him as a coach but also as a person. I wish he would just get fired or a job elsewhere and go away
