I am actually surprised it took this long. This station is right around the corner from me. If you ever listen to WFNZ Sports Radio, it's Jim Celenia is always taking this place up.

Ron Rybacki said he had more gas sales Saturday that he usually does for a weekend, and he said the protesters are the reason.

What's he going to say? "Yea, my sales were down, the protesters have hurt my business. That would be playing to the protesters hands.

I never buy BP or Shell gas anyway, so they have nothing to worry from me.

I'd have lied my ass off before admitting it was BP fuel. Tried the "independent station owner" line.

Not like Shell and Texaco are any better though, in fact, they're probably worse. Thankfully I have a Gate near me.

hard to do with all the green pain and a big BP out front.

saw that on the news last night, my wife goes there sometimes because its full service (wtf is she paying for that?)

she said she was going to give them some business.

Even if it is pointless to not gas up at a BP station, I still wouldn't feel right going there for gas. I don't have a BP around me anyway. But if there is BP at one corner and Shell at the other. I'm going to Shell. Even if it is 10 cents more expensive.

I would just feel dirty gassing up at a BP.

Yea, let's protest small business owners. I'm sure BP would be so hurt if that guy stopped selling their gas. That would show them! What a joke.

Exactly.

But Rybacki’s supporters said protesters are missing the point. BP doesn’t own the gas station at the corner of Randolph Road and N. Sharon Amity – Rybacki does, and boycotting the gas station hurts Rybacki more than it hurts BP.

      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.
