Aw. You're still a baby.

My son is making his first drive by himself to Beaufort tomorrow. He'll probably get lost, even though it's a straight shot down 70. My uncle is taking him fishing.

I used to work in Beaufort/ Morehead City back in '95... NC State docks kept me busy, it was a return trip week 3 of that season that got on the Panthers' bandwagon...

The beach was only 45mins away up here in VA, we went all the time. Leave at 5am to go catch some waves at sunrise, those were the days...

I had a good friend, similar to beauxjangles' situation, whose grandparents were the 1st house on their street in Hatteras. Spent many weeks down there, although I remember being too fugged up to remember a lot of it...

I remember skipping school to make love all day with my lovely high school sweetheart but I always came for 4th period to keep from missing the whole day. Good times.

I think the bad thing is I had a very jaded highschool experience as far as drugs and partying. So by the time I got to college I thought it was time to settle down, but there were a bunch of kids from these tiny highschools around SC who were ready to go crazy. It was annoying.

Most of the friends I've had have problems with substance abuse. I recently transferred to different school and I'm going to try pretty hard to stay away from that stuff. Anybody who smokes weed as frequently as they did in high school is probably not very successful. I'm tired of watching once smart kids turn into losers.

I hope my son has better pickup lines than those idiots in Myrtle Beach last weekend.

Oh, and I just had to give him directions to get to my uncle's house in Goldsboro, too. He's only been going there for 17 years. *facepalm*

Maybe we should buy him a gps before he leaves.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
