This is the brother-in-law of one of my co-workers, so I was going to post this when I had a chance.  I'm glad to see that someone already did.  I'm hoping word of this will get back to the team and someone will be able to make a trip up to Salisbury to make this happen.

It was first shared by Spectrum. I emailed and called my PSL concierge about this as soon as I saw it on Thursday

she took it to the Panthers Community Relations dept and said they had just heard about it and we're going to try and do something for him.  she did share that sadly the Panthers get many of these types of requests and typically they do not do player visits during the season

i have seen  many of these types of stories, I am not sure why this one moved me to call the Panthers about it

 Maybe it is because despite all he has been through, he still has the simple joy with  the game of football and the innocent love of a pro team.

we all had that love once before we all became experts and jaded by the lives of the players and the NFL big business spin

i really hope someone can give him this gift

Update on this for anyone interested:  Mike passed away on Saturday.  

that sucks. this is the first i'd seen this thread so i didn't notice that it was an older one. your response kind of took me by surprise.

not sure if it would help, but let your coworker know that there were people here thinking about them.

fug man, why can't we cure all cancer by now.

My guess is there's more money to be made "searching" for a cure than actually having one.   Don't underestimate the greed of drug companies and so called non-profit organizations.

      Canes vs Blues 5pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Based on the NHL cap today ($88M), the Canes have $22.9M in projected space going into the 25-26 season. Seems to be a consensus the cap will increase to $92.5M next season, but let's not assume. The core of this team is locked up for a couple more years, with the only UFAs at the end of this season: Roslovic, Fast, Robinson, Jost, with Orlov and Burns on D. Remember Seth Jarvis's contract? Remember the press it got because the Canes found a loophole that allowed them to get his contract under the cap by using "deferred salary?" Yeah, don't expect that won't be addressed by the league and that loophole closed. That being said, if the Canes decide to sign Necas long term, they should do it next season and they'll probably need to pay him Aho level money- close to $10M a year. Let's assume the team gets through the season without any career or long term injury concerns. And, let's be honest in the conversation. Does Jesper Fast have a place on this team right now or have we found the right combination on the ice that he may not be needed?  Does Brent Burns retire, or will he decide to stay another year? If so, there's a 1-year thank you for your service $6M deal.  If Roslovic shows out this year, that's gonna be a pretty big contract compared to the 1-year, $2.8M he's getting now. He may command around $4.5 - 5M to stay. So, those 2 guys are gonna cost you $11M. Get Necas a new deal at $10M, you're up to $14.5M of the $22.9M in space. So you've got about $8.4M to work in Orlov and Robinson, which is do-able. Plenty of room to work deals and keep every one of the UFAs if the Canes so desire.

      BYE Week poll: Do you think Morgan and Canales are headed in the right direction?

      Dan is doing a fine job, however, I'm not sold on Canales. I think he needs to give up play-calling duties, but I also realize that this wasn't an easy fix.
