Photos from the Panthers Play 60 commercial shoot

Nice picture of Ron and his wife. Just did a quick Google search and came up with this article about the two of them.

They're coaches, so they recognize how to keep it fresh, innovative and the positive vibes flowing.

Coaches Stephanie and Ron Rivera, married for 25 years, even posses a scheme to keep that loving spark flickering. It's their weekly Friday date nights, and can you imagine the sweet nothings Ron whispers in her ear?

"Hey, ref, you are missing a good game!'' Ron said one recent evening.

Ron, the Chargers' defensive coordinator, could be named the Carolina Panthers head coach as soon as Tuesday. But on this Friday night, he was filming Stephanie's Cathedral Catholic girls basketball team.

Before Stephanie located the mute button, Ron's work arrived with lively commentary.

"He's helped me out a couple of times doing that,'' Stephanie said. "But he gets too nervous. I had to turn the volume down because he was yelling at the officials.''

It's a hoot that Ron and Stephanie spend Friday nights together, but not in dimly light restaurants, bathed in romantic background music. High school gyms play host to these lovebirds.

"Date night has become, 'Hey, come watch my girls play,' " Stephanie said.

With Ron's season over, Stephanie's year is gathering steam. Her Dons (7-5, 1-0) face Scripps Ranch on Tuesday night while Ron faces the music.

He's no longer the top coach at the Rivera household, with the Chargers done and Cathedral Catholic in league play.

"We used to go out to dinner,'' Ron said. "Now I'm sitting in the stands.''

    • Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up. 
    • Walker is a good player and comes from a great defensive minded school but there a questions about him. He could be a superstar or bust.  You trade down and will get a player with similar concerns and you jump into the middle of the second round where there are some good players.  YOU'RE not getting a 1st next year and a 2nd for 8. These mock simulators give you fair value for the most part. I've tried and most counter offers were rejected.  We trade down get a good first round graded player and jump into the middle of 2nd round and not having to wait for 57.  Plus if a stud falls to the late first or early 2nd round we could package 46 and 57 and get him.
