I'm getting ready to start the day at the crack of noon and was reading how Charlotte is getting ready for the hyped game Monday night. You know what I don't see much of anymore? Panther flags flying on cars this weekend. What's up with that? You always see the college support but we need more Panther flags flying like in 2003. Come on rock it Charlotte and surrounding!

I did a little research survey...on my way from Charlotte to Boone...I-85-->321 (2 Hours)

I tallied every time I saw some sort of support for an NFL team on a car. There were a little more than a dozen teams represented, but only 3 teams had more than 1 (Dallas - 3, Buffalo - 2, Pittsburgh - 2) The Panthers had somewhere close to 30, can't remember if it was under or over. That was what I saw, but I have a good eye, two good eyes...

In Boone, I've been seeing a lot of Panthers stickers/decals on cars....I have a front plate...this week I've had my flag hanging on the side windows....

Fooball, were you around when the Bucs went winless in those uggggly creamsicle jerseys? Yes after 30 years you have a Super Bowl, congrats...but you cannot erase the horrendous past that is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (same to you Falcons and Saints fans)

Dunno what I'm getting at but At least we've made winning a priority from day 1

Glad you asked....yes I was. Graduated high school in '74 in Orlando as a Dolphins fan. They were the only Florida team. When the Bucs came around in 76, I switched allegiance because they were geographically closer. I could see a home game by driving an hour and a half across Interstate 4 to the "Sombrero" and see a game live.

And tell PakersFan they use to out number us 3 to 1 IN TAMPA. But they were always cool, even though they out numbered us.

That's not the case anymore.....thank goodness.

    • 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.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
