In the wake of the Tucson shootings, there are a lot of tragic stories. This one made me cry while I was watching it on CNN

More details are emerging about the harrowing and heroic last few moments of a former Washington state man's life, that ended during the weekend shooting rampage in Arizona.

When a gunman opened fire outside a Tucson grocery store, Dorwan was there with his wife Mavy.

"As soon as they realized that what they were hearing were not fireworks, he threw himself on Mavy and forced her to the ground," Stoddard said, voice choking. "[Dorwan] took three bullets while he was shielding his wife."

Mavy was his childhood sweetheart. A woman Dorwan reunited with and married in his 60's, a wife he cared for until the end.

"As soon as the shooting stopped, Mavy realized that Dorwan had been shot. She cradled him when he passed. They had maybe ten minutes. At that point I think he realized that she was OK and he left us."

That is just the sweetest and most selfless thing ever. Watching her tell the story made me cry, she talked about how he died right there on her leg and the last things that he said to her before he stopped breathing

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      By fanpanther · Posted

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.

      In my dream, we somehow luck into a top 2 pick and someone wants a QB bad and doesn’t want anyone else to jump them. Somehow we’ll probably screw up the picks anyway, but it would be nice to do even partially what Chicago did to us. We’d have to lose out, which is a decent possibility unless Tampa is resting. We need Atlanta to stay within a game because Atlanta beat Tampa twice. The rest of the draft slots are who knows because Jax plays the Raiders and then Tennessee and you never know who will rest starters. I think we are top 7 unless we somehow pull out 2 more wins. The 4 win teams have higher SOS and there is only one 5 win team with the same SOS. If we win 1 of 3, we still should stay in top 7. If we lose out and the Jax games work for us, we can easily be top 3.
