Cam is my favorite all time Panther and I wish him nothing but the best in all of his media ventures but reality TV and sports talk /podcasts just ain't it for me. 

Honestly, it's a pretty good show, probably even more so for anyone with a military background.

The celebrities who take part tend to get their asses kicked.

Hell, I don't even have network television. LOL

I stream sports and that's my only exposure to network television

That was a good watch.

It's a fun show. Lady Cowboy Fan and I have been watching from the start.

This is, I think, their third season. They've had a lot of former athletes on from the NFL (Danny Amendola was on the last one) NBA and others, but they haven't won. The winners of the first two seasons included one women's soccer star (Carli Lloyd) and some reality show personalities, mostly from The Bachelor or The Bachelorette.

The physical challenges are certainly tough, especially on some of the older folks, but what tends to derail people is the mental side of it. Some can't keep their attitudes under control, others just tap out. Many are doing the show because they have demons to deal with, and you see a lot of that come out.

You definitely can't assume you know who will succeed and who won't either. Last year, Dez Bryant flamed out in spectacular fashion while Jojo Siwa actually went much further than I'd have thought. 

And as you might expect, you come away from it with a real appreciation for just how badass some of these special forces guys really are.

Re: Cam

As you could probably guess, his personality didn't initially mesh well with the no-nonsense special forces guys, but they respected his performance in the challenges and he's been a good "teammate" to some of the others on the show.

FYI: Also appearing this season is Golden Tate, who per his own words seems to be kind of lost in his post football life.

After completing a challenge, Newton went to give Tate a high-five and somehow inexplicably wound up punching him in the stomach 😳

That incident got him yelled at. The leaders further followed that up by punishing the entire crew with an exercise that I can best describe by saying...imagine waterboarding yourself.

    • I’ve rewatched it a few times. Impressive.   Rolls out about 5-6 steps, flicks his wrist, all arm, never even set his feet. Flick… All the way across the field from the 47 to the 24… perfect spiral… and dropped it in the bucket for Sanders. That had to of been 40 yards in the air? He looked so natural doing it.  All teams have that play in their book, but when run, it’s so ugly. Complete duck. Uncomfortable.  This guy is a weapon. There aren’t many non-QBs in the league make that throw and make it look so natural. He looked completely comfortable. I hope they draw up more plays for him like that. 
    • The information about knee pain is significant, and if true and depending on the extent, I have changed my approach to the Moton issue.  First, his performance has not dropped off but Moton has never been elite--he has been solid and dependable--maybe our best player over the past 5 years.  However, extending a big man with knee issues is VERY risky--the question is not "if" it is "when."  The "Left Tackle is more important that Right Tackle" argument is not valid any more.  Watt, Bosa, Crosby, etc. prefer rushing from the RT side--Bosa had this to say about rushing when he is not on the blind side:  "“When it’s right there, you don’t really even have to completely get off your block . You can kind of just reach over and knock it out sometimes.”  Getting a hand on the ball and stripping it is easier than getting off a block and tackling the QB, so the most destructive pass rushers in the NFL play defensive left tackle. Having said that, Moton is incredibly important, but extending him may seem risky--HOWEVER--most big men who have played OL in the NFL for a decade have knee soreness---I have not seen a major problem in his history: Week 17, 2024: Moton missed the Panthers' loss to Tampa Bay due to a knee issue. He didn't practice during the week and was considered doubtful for the game. Week 2, 2024: Moton experienced knee sorenes 2019: Moton had a questionable knee injury.  Is Brady Christensen good enough to start at RT in the NFL?  If not, I think the solution is to extend Moton with less guaranteed money and add a young RT through the draft or free agency.  Cade Mays' performance means that C is not something we MUST address, so a depth, developmental RT is smart.  Furthermore, we still have Nijman on the roster, and he played RT for Moton during the Tampa Bay game--he was not good, however. If you do not have a LT, RT, and a swing T who can hold his own in the NFL, your roster is not complete.      
    • I Never harped on the batted balls as much as his other concerns. The thing is qbs who can drive a ball with velocity tend throw it at a lower trajectory anyway so that leads to more bats. Bryce passes are more loft oriented so they have a high arc when leaving his hands. Those are just harder to bat.
