The Real Problem With Today's Game


RumHam

Recommended Posts

Why does the NFL hate us so much? Why are we scheduled (on top of playing last Wednesday, seriously WTF?) to play a game in August, in Nashville, on a Saturday, at 3 fuging PM? Who did this? 100 degree humid weather and you could clearly tell the players didn't want a part of it. While the tackling was atrocious, it just wasn't happening today. 3:00 is like the hottest part of the day, and they even practiced in the mornings.

Did Tennessee play in the same game as us?  The weather was no excuse for our play.  We are not a dome team anyway, there are going to be hot days in September.  

One team looked ready to play.  One team didn't.  Good learning experience in my opinion. Backed up what Rivera said earlier in the week about offense not looking sharp or ready to play.

It's done because Mularkey likes one preseason game to be in the heat so the players can, you know, get acclimated to what it's like playing in September at 1p. The game actually started st 2p not 3p. So it's a benefit to the Panthers and their preseason training. The first game was scheduled for Wednesday because the PGA was in Charlotte.

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
