I have missed two Panthers games in eight years: one in 2006 when I went camping with a girl I was trying to get with (she shot my ass down) and another in 2010 when I was in Thailand (and those games were pretty expendable anyway.) I refuse to work Sundays at any job I work.

 

Fast forward to this week. Lots of poo happening at my bar. I told them I could take the shift, because even though the hotel is going to be filled with dumbass middle school teachers who will invariably line up at my bar and take sixteen minutes to order some bullshit with Malibu rum and grenadine and then bitch that they can't taste the liquor in their pineapple juice, I still have a television mounted against the far wall of the bar, so I can at least peer over their slovenly hairdos to watch David Foucault pancake Saints players all the way into Sean Payton's drug stash under the gatorade cooler on the sideline.

 

But then what happens? I go onto NFL.com to look up Kelvin Benjamin's rookie stats so I can comment in the all-rookie team thread with a projection of his stats for the year, and what's the first article?

 

"Thursday Night Football Moves Exclusively to NFL Network."

 

What the fuck? What is this shitty shit? The reason this is a problem is because the TV in the bar is on a network that doesn't get NFLN. The massive flatscreen in the lobby eight steps from my bar is big and beautiful and gets NFLN, and that's where I'd ordinarily be watching the game on a slow night, and using the bar TV as backup. Now I don't have that option. Now my ability to watch the game depends entirely on how long it takes idiots to stop being idiots at my bar. Which in my experience is a very very very long time.

 

TLDR: cbs doesn't show TNF anymore and PhillyB might need a new job on Friday.

I hate having to watch the game at work.. I mean most people would consider that lucky but people have a knack for pushing my buttons when the Panthers are playing.  Like the idiot who was Cutler fan shouting "Cam is overrated".  Or this past Sunday when everyone was cheering for the Seahawks (LA is a bandwagon city).  I just hope tomorrow no one says anything stupid or disrespectful but maybe I'm giving people way too much credit.

 

Good luck dude.

Call a family member or friend (maybe even here on the Huddle) and get their username/password and u can stream it live by using their cable/satellite provider

Inconvenient sure, but it's an easy fix

of all fuging games for the first fuging cutoff

Edit: also, the middle school teachers that are staying at the hotel should be easy targets. I'd be shocked if you don't get 2 or 3 room keys for when you get off shift.

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      By fanpanther · Posted

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.
