Rivera Kicks Players Out Of OTAs


. . .for working too much ;)

Ron Rivera had to do something last week he had probably never done in 16 years of coaching: Kick players out of the team facility for studying too long.
Rivera, the Panthers’ second-year coach, learned there were players who had been at Bank of America Stadium last Monday longer than the six-hour limit spelled out in the NFL’s new collective bargaining agreement.
So Rivera stuck his head in the first-floor meeting rooms to break the bad news.
“I went downstairs and said, ‘OK, everybody who’s been here since 7, you’ve got to go,’” Rivera said. “So those guys got up and left.”

They are playing football, not engineering a particle super collider. They will be fine.
The article title is extremely misleading. It almost makes it seems as though RR was chasing players out of the practice facility with a bat telling them to get off his lawn. He walked into a room and tells the early group their 8 hours are up. Wow, we need an article for that.
What a great problem for a coach to have.

Ever heard of tongue-in-cheek?

The article doesn't seem tongue in cheek to me. It seems to making a big deal out of nothing.

That's crazy you live in Fremont and are a warriors fan. I live in Fremont and am a Warriors fan too. Small world. And yes, Person is useless.


That's awesome. I think you, me, and my brother are the only Panthers (pre-Cam) and Warriors fans in the world
