Once a month for the last year or so. I have organized a gathering of former co workers for a little happy hour. I call it the G7 since there is a group of 7 or so I invite. One guy is a former mgr who has moved far up the ladder.But we like hanging with him and it's good for him to blow off steam and be real.

Tonight, out of the blue he surprises me. We are on one drink and he goes pstall, what is your IQ? 120 or 130 or so? Umm, I don't really know I say. He then goes man, you are brillant and you need to be doing something else. Uhh, yeah, I agree.

So later on he gives me a ride home and had never seen Montford Drive. He goes let me see these places. We can grab another drink. Ok cool. So while we are hanging outside he goes ok man, I want to tell you something in full confidence.

I will sponsor you, to do WHATEVER it is you want to do. I only ask one thing. Deliver.

He mentioned some guys names that I know and how he helped them land new jobs and he goes dude you are far and away more talented and ahead of them. You are just lazy. I told him I agree with the lazy part.

So now he and I are gonna hang tomo at the Wells Fargo and come Monday he said come up with some proposals or ideas and he is going to get me into a think tank for the bank.

This was so unexpected. He goes dude. The ideas you have shared or come up with and the impact is amazing. You deserve to be taken care of now.

Totally amazed. So kids. Make sure you continue networking. It will pay off one day.

      Deebo wants out of SF, and our current odds are high

      By frankw · Posted

      This is from 5 months ago. It was one or the other. Trade for one or draft one. We apparently called the Jets about Wilson. We also talked to the Seahawks about Metcalf. Drafting our own guy was the best course of action given the required investment. Regardless now is the time for Bryce Young to produce. We are fourth amongst all teams in cap spending on the OL. Back to back first round picks at WR and multiple young TE draft picks now. Very solid and respectable backfield. New pieces across the defense. The time is now.

      Get ready for ‘SUPER MEN: The inside story of the 2015 Carolina Panthers’

      By Basbear · Posted

      That was just the worst time to have their worst game of the season. One key deal was the broncos guess the Panthers would NOT change any plays or flow to the game. Another key point overlook that bronco defense was truly one of the best in the NFL history. It was the best defense the Panthers faced that year, by far. They were not ready for it, but broncos were ready for the Panthers. Mix in that bad luck, poor refs showcase, and this is the golden boys last game........ Panthers needed to win by 20 and the broncos defense was not going to allow that.  Panthers were the faviotes and I believe they also thought that it was going to easier than them destorying NFC playoff teams as they marched to the SB. I've heard darin Gantt say the play calls were to give remmers help, but for some reason the team never did it. During the year they never had that problem, so maybe never practiced giving help via TE/RB, or WR chip. Cam was superman that year, no need for any adjustments...... Until you meet a legendary defense with studs at all levels, Think about it, Peyton was throwing wingless dunks for the whole season, the defense had to carry his corpse to the SB. That's how good they were, no many defense are able to get to the playoffs and win a SB without decent QB play. If you recall the beginning of that denfese took Tim Teblows and his non-throwing arse to the playoffs couple years before. That's insane the level of defense needed to overcome.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      Who cares if he paid for such small benefits out of his own pocket? The NCAA is a joke. They need to be offering such anyway, especially for Uber rides (which actually seems like a good idea).
