Alternate route to Charlotte when 77-south is jammed...

the low rent is lost in travel time and more fuel costs.

 

move to Mt. Holly or Ft.Mill. South 77 is a breeze even after 5pm. 77N from Arrowood to well, forever is just bad. Depending on time of day course.

 

Buy my place on Montford so I can get a foreclosure on Lake Wylie. Everybody wins.

 

I lived in Lake Wylie all my life. My parents worked in Charlotte and would drive through Belmont to Wilkerson Blvd and take that in. I feel like it was a cautious route, but it never jammed. Much faster than 77 N in the morning. 

 

I've never been on South 77 in rush hour and had it be a cakewalk. It usually gets pretty hairy around Carowinds and Tyvola. 

 

If I didn't want a 1 hour commute I would love to live in Lake Wylie again. 

 

Where is the foreclosure?

IF i-77 is jammed then 115 may be as well. You can try the backway down to 73 and cut over to 85. If you are in backside (east) of Mooresville than may not be much longer.

 

or take 150/152/153 (I don't remember which) to I-85, but he would hit 85 quite a bit further north. there is much less traffic that way.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
