Was reading the Observer aticle about Pepper's fine and read the comments. Saw this at the end. Don't know how true it is, I don't watch PTI. It was posted by "Scott".

:mad:

GET THIS! I was just watching PTI on ESPN. During a commercial break, they came back to the studio for a few seconds before going back to the advertisers. When they did, we got to hear a bit of a conversation between Kornheiser and Wilbon, like you always can, you know? These two arw always yapping.

Here's what Tony's yammering about - "everything has biscuits! You can't get anything that isn't served with biscuits. That's all they have down there."

Wilbon shoots back that "I'm pretty sure that Charlotte is big enough that you can get whatever you want down there."

Kornheiser response was "No, no, no it's not."

WHAT HORSE SQUEEZE! It was awful - you should have seen Kornheiser!! He was showing visible disgust that he even had to come down here. What a bunch of crap.

I'm going to the game Monday night. I'd like to stop by Bojangles on the way and get a damn BUSHEL of biscuits and pelting his ass! I swear - I hope that we win out the regular and post seasons and that Tony K has to come back 2 or 3 times next year!!

GO PANTHERS!!

Someone make a sign

"Tony, we saved you some biscuits" or something

I'm from the north (more north than Tony K) and I personally looove biscuits...but let's face it, Charlotte isn't as "southern", "redneck", "hillbilly" and most people think. Have you ever been to Pittsburgh? "Hicks" everywhere.

      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.
