Sam Wyche needs a heart transplant

The 71-year-old former coach of the Bengals and Bucs—and one of the most interesting and innovative minds in football over the past 40 years—is in the Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte this morning, his case the highest priority among transplant hopefuls. In fact, Wyche is in the same room that Panthers owner Jerry Richardson was in when awaiting his new heart in 2009. When I spoke to Wyche over the weekend, he said he’d had an unexpected visitor: Richardson. Twice.

“He told me his experience, and he was incredibly encouraging,” said Wyche, sounding a bit worn. He’s in a hospital renowned for its heart care and transplants. “He told me not to worry about the surgery. And then he came again, to see how I was. It was really incredible. He told me not to worry—heart transplants are like changing a tire to the doctors here.”

JR is a great man and I wouldn't take any other owner over him. I'd certainly like for him to be a little more about the team than the league but that's not such a huge deal. We'll win with integrity and with taking the high road despite some of the bullsh*t we have to deal with.

Sam Wyche and my father played football together at Furman in the 60s. He is a very nice man. They were good friends after college, and he came to my father's funeral. I wish him nothing but the best, and will be praying for a successful transplant and a speedy recovery. Nice of JR to go by his room twice to give him encouragement.

      Testing Huddle Consensus

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is ridiculous how some people react when someone disagrees with their opinion. First of all, this is before the combine and there is a lot more info coming out.  If you have locked in on a pick you are a doofus.   That is right.  A doofus.  No, that was a test.  We have fake photos, names, and we are on the internet.  It takes zero courage to call people names--see? There are people who make solid points and back them with facts.  It is not important that you change someone else's mind or prove yourself to be right; it is important that we consider all viewpoints.  WRONG THINKING: I don't give a crap if Snow agrees with me--he likes being wrong, pathetic loser. CORRECT THINKING: Snow is not in agreement with my position.  What are his reasons?  Do I still believe my position?  Hmmm.  He has some good points.  I see his reasons.  I will stay with my position, but I appreciate the mature exchange of thinking. At no point should I attack him personally because that is what turds do in sanboxes when they are 6. It is not my position to focus on him--I should focus on his position.  I am not a child. This is sarcasm, but unfortunately, necessary.

      I Think Ashton Jeanty will be the Pick at #8

      JFC, what is wrong with the Huddle. Someone says Hurney drafted CMC and there is no correction? Our last good draft in 2017 was Gettleman drafting CMC, Samuel, Moton and Butker. Marty took over after the draft. All I know is that we have been so bad at drafting from 2018 to 2024 that people can’t even remember what we did in 2017 and before. All that said, I 100% promise to move my fandom if we take Jeanty at 8.

      Considering that currently they will not pick again until pick 57 one would think that every player in-between could be in play as well. If they really want a pure edge rusher they will pick the best available after Carter. You may be on to something there MHS.
