Meery Christmas to Me and the Huddle

Just wanted you guys to know I have received the best Christmas gift anyone could ever get a few weeks ago. In late March I was diagnosed with a Stage 4 rare type of cancer. The doctors basically told me to get my affairs in order but they would do chemo and see what happened. They put my chances at less than 10% to see Christmas. 4 weeks ago my PET scan showed zero cancer anywhere. Docs were amazed. Miracles do happen.

What does this have to do with you guys? I was never a big forum poster on anything but was and always have been a big Pro football fan. Most years I would attend 2-3 Panther games with all my buds. I found this forum on my IPAD during Chemo and started reading it and lurking. Some of the posts made me horse laugh and took my mind off what was happening so I decided to join in the fun. There are a LOT of funny posters on here (I am a big fan of sarcasm).

Even the guys you all love to hate like TRD and PFFL have grains of truth in what they say and keep the board interesting and fresh. I keep out of it for the most part but loved to see the various comebacks.

At any rate I wanted you all to know this forum has provided entertainment and laughs to someone who sorely needed it. When my wife was by my side in Chemo she would ask....whats so funny? It was you guys.

Sorry for the length of this post but wanted to make a point that take NOTHING for granted, hug your kids and pet your dog.

PLEASE DO NOT PIE me on this post. I prefer to earn it!

Thanks guys and Merry Christmas to all of you.........

    • Keep my wife’s name out your mouth!
    • Yeah I'm not into college as much, so I admit not to having my own opinion about him coming out. But strictly watching ESPN shows, and going off of commentary at the time..It was a lot more 50/50 even on this board than what people like to remember and admit.  Yes many people had doubts and questions, but MANY people also thought he could possibly be the one. I was only versed enough to know that it was between he and CJ, but most pundits made it sound like either way we had a QB of the future, just different skillsets/traits.
    • Jonathan Mingo to the Cowboys Cowboys receive: WR Jonathan Mingo, 2025 seventh-round pick Panthers receive: 2025 fourth-round pick  Dallas Cowboys: C Leave it to Jerry Jones to wait until after Dak Prescott is injured to go after another receiver. To be fair, the Dallas Cowboys have a real need for the position. CeeDee Lamb is a superstar, but Jalen Tolbert and Brandin Cooks haven't been the needle movers that the Cowboys were hoping for. Making a trade for a receiver wasn't a bad move, but the player that the Cowboys gave up three rounds of value to acquire is questionable. Jonathan Mingo checked a lot of physical and athletic boxes as the 40th-overall pick in 2023. Unfortunately, the 6-foot-2, 220-pound wideout has struggled to be a productive receiver at the NFL level. Some of that has to do with playing for the Carolina Panthers, but Mingo has seriously lacked efficiency at the position. Mingo has yet to record his first NFL touchdown, catching 55 passes for 539 yards. Per TruMedia, he has just 0.74 yards per route run in his career, which ranks 177th out of 186 receivers with at least 50 targets since the start of the 2023 season.Even though Mingo fills a need, that's a lot of value to give up for a receiver that's struggled so much at the NFL level. The good news is that he still has a couple more years on his rookie deal, so at least the Cowboys are getting a cheap developmental project to learn from a star like Lamb. Carolina Panthers: A Instead of trying to hold onto Mingo, the Panthers took what they could get, and that turned out to be way more than expected. Mingo quickly became expendable thanks to the rapid ascension of rookie receiver Xavier Legette. Along with a larger-than-life personality, Legette has hauled in 26 catches for 244 yards and four touchdowns. Three of those touchdowns have come in the last four games, with Legette becoming more and more of a focal point in Carolina's offense. For a team that needs to capitalize as much as possible on draft assets, moving up three rounds in the draft to move on from a disappointing draft pick feels like an absolute win. https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-trade-deadline-2024-grading-every-move/
