Like actually almost dying, having to be revived, etc., none... doing something really stupid that could have lead to death, quite a few.

Not almost dying but could have died but some how not by luck.

Here is a few of mine.

Pulled from a moving car down the intestate.

My mother rolled a car over the hill while she was pregnant with me.

Flipped a car 2 1/2 times no seatbelt and thrown into the back seat I was driving.

involved in head on collision with a van.

Stuck in Ship Creek mud up to my knees with the tide coming in.

Stuck on the side of a mountain a mile from camp in the middle of snow storm and hypothermia setting in.

Horse tried to kick me in the head missed inches.

Closed calls that could have went either way.

My dad and I were changing the plug on his dryer and I decided to see if the new one fit in the socket... it did, and the circuit was on. I was standing about 2" from the wires on the other end of the plug... scared the sh*t out of me.

I had the same thing happen except I was holding the wires. Blew me half way across the room. I sizzled for awhile after that.

I was also run over by a 3/4 ton van when I was about 13. Hit the side of it while riding my bike (he turned in front of me) and slid underneath...ran over both my legs. I was up and walking around and just asked the cops to give me a ride home and they wouldn't...paramedics game and took my shoe off and I had a compound fracture. Remember seeing the bone sticking out of my foot and that was about it......

Had my Chevelle stall on the train tracks with the train coming. My two friends jumped out but I stayed in tryiing to get it restarted. It started back up with the train about 100 yards away. Weird experience.

Fell into an icy pond, my friends dad ran out and rescued me using a ladder.

Pretty sure my wife has tried to smother me on numerous occasions while sleeping. I lived through each one I think.

Think that is about it....

In high school, I was chilling in a masonry class when we had a substitute and book-work... I put my hands under my chair and was feeling along the underside of it... I felt a spider web, so I got up and turned the chair over to find the largest black widow I have ever seen in my life...

While fishing one time, I pretty much stepped right on top of a cottonmouth... Thankfully, he chose to lunge into the water instead of me...

I was indirectly hit by lightning once, while standing in water barefooted in my mom's basement... It hit about 50-75 yards away and lit my feet up like a strobe light, throwing me on my back...

I stuck the end of a phone cord into my mouth while the other end was still plugged into the socket... This was when I learned that phone lines use electricity too...

Out of boredom one Saturday morning as a kid, I stuck my finger into a lamp socket and turned on the switch... I had no idea it would shock me, but found out it would... I couldn't taste anything for the rest of the week...

I got my first shotgun when I was about 13... My dad got it for me for Xmas... It is a Russian make, and has a funky load/cock/fire action... Dad was going to show me how it worked, and mistakenly had the firing pin set to fire when the breach was closed... He had a shell in the barrell, closed the breach, and shot #8 shot through his living room wall and into the back of his shower... If I had been standing a mere 2 feet in a different direction, I would have been directly in front of the barrell...

Being born with asthma and crazy allergies, I have always been at risk for respiratory issues... I survived severe pneumonia twice before I was 5... Both episodes required lengthy hospital stays...

I fell into the Neuse River and almost got sucked under a fallen tree because of the strong post-rainstorm current...

That is all I can think of right now...

One where I had to be revived. Strange events led to it and my stupidity sealed the deal. I was reveived by a friend I went to HS with and he was filling in for our team's medic.

Plenty of others where I should have died but instead I fought and got rewarded...

      We have to figure out our future core team

      By KaijuGato · Posted

      This is that desperate way of thinking. Yes, can Ward and Sanders might be the top two quarterbacks going into next year‘s draft but that is only a small part of the rebuild phase for this team. You’re talking about switching back to a 43 defense and going out and trying to get a 43 edge rusher, but we’re gonna have a hard time finding that in free agency versus going after them in the draft. There is a lot more defensive players on the front end of this upcoming draft and there is decent offensive players. So if we can get into bed with a team that falls in love with one of these quarterbacks we can potentially get a hall of draft picks if we trade back.  Then we start building that defense and a gap quarterback for the time being. There is a lot more quarterbacks that are worth more in the 2026 draft and there is this year‘s draft so if we play the game and keep building this team up that way a rookie quarterback can succeed in year one and not hope to succeed in your two or three with a  treacherous year one. A good run game and a good defense helps a rookie quarterback extremely. Hopefully with Brooks, the run game will be secured and if we use next year‘s free agency and draft to secure the defense, a rookie quarterback in 2026 can be successful.

      Pssssstttt.... Hey Tepper ..

      Of all the fancy tools used in player evaluation, it ALWAYS comes down to the eye test. Far, far from perfect but it is still the most reliable test going. This team under Tep has repeatedly ignored that one most. Crucial. Aspect. It’s like they lose the forest through the trees. Analytics works… when the data inputs are complete. Problem is that there will always be variables that are unique to that particular situation.

      No, we don't need to see Bryce Young again

      By 33inNC · Posted

      No, we don't need to play him anymore.  It is like needles to the eyes to constantly see him just suck, it reminds us more and more of the debacle we are in. Just cut bait with the bum. he is not NFL starter material.
