NBC:

"TOGETHER WE MAKE FOOTBALL” FEATURES THE STORY OF 13-YEAR-OLD CAROLINA PANTHERS FAN AUSTIN SMITH TOMORROW MORNING ON TODAY

Tomorrow’s “Together We Make Football” segment on TODAY tells the inspirational story of 13-year-old Carolina Panthers fan Austin Smith, who loves the Carolina Panthers, Cam Newton and fantasy football. At age 3, Austin was diagnosed with a mild case of cerebral palsy affecting his lower body. His diagnosis resulted in surgeries followed by eight years of physical therapy. Austin regained some mobility, but still uses a wheel chair.

Nonetheless, Austin competes in the Challenger Flag Football League for kids with disabilities sponsored by the Carolina Panthers. He also is the commissioner of his fantasy football league, posting weekly fantasy reports on YouTube. Last fall, Austin passed up a chance to meet his favorite Panthers player, but is in for a surprise tomorrow.

that's it?

 

No, prolly because he uses his halftime solo speech to rant/tell us all his stance on various political/social issues, instead of keeping politics/social issues out of a few hours that people like to spend to try and forget about said political/social issues.

While I agree with this sentiment, speaking personally my main problem with Costas is he is the definition of opportunistic. Take the Redskins thing for example. Costas has worked for NBC since 1980 and only when a big event happens does he take the time to care. It's simply piling on the big issues.

 

Or maybe his opinion changed.  In 1980 there wasn't as big of a public sentiment to have that name removed from the Washington NFL team.  Times change and the way people look at issues change.  To claim people can't change the way they look at things is pretty hypocritical.

I think we are all pretty sure where Bob stands on this issue.

If our mothers, wives or children were being beaten/threatened by guys twice their size, I'm pretty sure where most of the posters on this board would stand on the topic too.

Too many people here seem to be wearing blinders when it comes to their favorite team.

Is it too much to ask Boob Costas to cover the game and not use his platform to preach what he thinks? If I wanted to hear political commentary I wouldn't turn on Sunday Night Football.

      Legette. Wrist surgery?

      By Icege · Posted

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      Daniel Jeremiah: Panthers prime trade candidate

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
