Panthers = Pretenders

This guy is just about motivation for the Bucs & Panthers. His team will be sitting home.

Tampa Bay Bucs

Record: 9-3

Wouldn’t be something to see the Bucs at home for the Super Bowl? Won’t happen. Defensively, they’re a wet blanket, allowing an NFC best 16.7 points per game. But every time they leave Florida to play a decent team, they lose. They also lost at New Orleans, at Denver and at Dallas to a Brad Johnson-quarterbacked team. They cannot, and will not, catch lightning in a bottle and beat the Giants on the road in the NFC Championship. If they can win at Carolina and Tampa in the next two weeks, I’ll change my tune. Until then? Frauds.

Verdict: Pretenders

The Cowboys are facing all kinds of elimination over the next few weeks, but the mainstream media would love for them to go on a miracle run and win the Super Bowl. That way their attempts to pump up Romo and make it look like he's not the pretty boy choke artist that he is would be somewhat justified.

Sadly, I guarantee you that the NFL feels the same way. They don't want to see the Panthers anywhere near the Super Bowl, if they can have Dallas instead.

Hell, a Cowboys vs Steelers Super Bowl would be a wet dream come true for ESPN and the NFL.

That game was played at home?

That guy is a f*cking idiot.

Hopefully the Cowgirls get voted to be the biggest NFC pretender

This gave me an Idea. Start having the Pretenderbowl. Chargers v Cowboys.

NBC too, they would finally have people watching their preshow.

    • 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.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
