Watching Tarheels this year is like watching the John Fox Panthers. I would always joke that we'd be losing 13-7 and John Fox would be yelling "don't worry guys, we are only 3 safeties away from tying this thing up". Brutally, offensively painful.

As an old man now, I was embarrassed of my tattoos, until I saw Stevie's. A fuging wrist tribal tattoo? You tryna be a barista or a tarot card reader? He literally looks like the guy who I'd find sleeping in my storage unit. Zero chance that clown is our head coach, under any financial or secret handshake scenario.

You may get your wish tonight. Syracuse QB is 0 for 8 throwing and Gio Lopez is still Gio Lopez. Meanwhile the Dodgers just had a two out two run hit to take a 3 run lead.

Did I just hear the kid who returned that last punt for Syracuse is 16 years old?!?!

I was thinking the same thing pre-game. Defense is continuing to look decent, but as we know with Bryce in our pro vice, you can't offset small / lack of skill set at the QB position (Gio).

Watch both. TVs are like $75 now, no reason to not have 5 or 6 of them going for Saturday, Sunday and the occasional weeknight when multiple things are on. And that's how you admit to a gambling problem without admitting to a gambling problem.

We are watching the Gasparilla, Pop Tarts, and Pinstripe Bowls slip right through our fingers.

Rhule beat Cincinnati to open the season, and they are ranked 17th currently. But even a "down" Nebraska team should beat a "good" Cincinnati team based on talent / recruits alone. Cincinnati is feasting on a very weak pre-conference and Big 12 schedule for 7 wins in a row after losing to Nebraska. Rhule's extension is Nebraska knowing they won't get anyone better than him, and Rhule knowing Penn State is not going to hire him because he isn't the splash he was 7 years ago, which was unwarranted then and even more so now. Halloween game for Carolina tonight. Syracuse starting a kid that didn't take a snap in the offseason practices. There is a good chance we watch Filardi and Lopez try to outdo one another with who sucks more and can throw a game away. Still reminiscing on the Halloween game against #2 Miami like 20 years ago when the Heels won on a last second field goal.

If there is a GM dumb enough to take on Chuba's contract, I'd literally just give him away. But that would require someone stupider than Dan Morgan, and I don't think that concussion riddled GM exists.

Caveat that I'm not political, I don't vote and think ALL politicians (on both sides) are liars and scumbags. I'm with the people in this thread that are speaking to more important things our government and protective agencies could be doing. Next time there is a school shooting or domestic terrorist attack, I'm not going to sleep better knowing that Chauncey Billups can no longer rip off extraordinarily rich people who don't give a fukk about the money anyways. This is a deflect tactic for the FBI to pound their chest to non-sports fans who don't realize how small this problem is vs the rest of our problems as a country. If you wanted to go after this level of gambling, require background checks (criminal) and financial checks (pay stubs) for placing bets. You'd eliminate a lot of criminals and poor people who are desperate to (try) making a quick buck and look for angles or advantages. ESPN throws a spread and O/U on every game that goes across their ticker, and then promotes gambling as an issue when they are the ones aiding it. Love America and the freedoms it allows me (like blasting America on a message board), but pretty ashamed of where we are as a country full of leaders who aren't leading anything prosperous. Stepping off my soapbox now.

I've already paid my next year's mortgage taking overs on Hornets games. They are the Dallas Cowboys of the NBA. Whatever the number is, just slam the over.

This city is cursed.

That implosion in Philly hurts, the schedule is going to get a lot tougher now and stealing an upset would've helped a lot. Glad they didn't compound it by losing to a team they are much better than in Washington. What's the Miller injury? Any update on his status going forward?

Most of the countries I travel to don't allow American based streams. But thank you for the tip, I'll try it.

Definitely start a thread for each game. I like checking in on how we are doing with how much traveling I do and can't get games streamed or on TV. Currently in Hong Kong for the next week.

This is why I said overpay. Make him have no choice.

Overpay for Daniel Jones - assuming he doesn’t take whatever offer Colts make during season so he can leverage free agency. Gardner Minshew as the backup. Let Bryce and Andy walk off into the sunset together.

Why you picking on all us YTs?!?!

I miss the good ole days of gambling, before it was cool to do and glorified by every sports media outlet in existence.

Imagine the life of someone like Mike White watching NFL Red Zone every Sunday praying for someone to get hurt so you can get back on a roster.

I don’t disagree. But this guy said he worked at PFF. That’s about as good a “foot in the door” as you can have in a sporting world turned over analytic and as the unofficial, official voice of the NFL’s determination of who’s good and bad if he was as smart as he’s claiming to be, he’d have risen to the top at PFF and parlayed that into a front office job. But he didn’t, so he didn’t. And now he’s here like the rest of us dummies. Only difference is most of us know we’re dummies, we’re not here claiming to be a guru.

That will hold every fan who attends Panthers games for post loss concerts.

I love how the “OGs” boast of working at PFF means something (to him). I’ve been on this board for 20+ years, and it’s never not been a collection of dummies, smart asses, and whiny babies - including myself. But it’s good banter for the most part. If someone was truly a guru at football and was wasting their time spewing it here instead of turning it into millions of dollars running a team or coaching a position, that says more about them than any of the “idiots” on this board.

I despise Matt Rhule, but I thought he actually handled that pretty well. He couldn't say "I have no interest, I don't even think about Penn State or any of my relationships that were formed there previously or with people there currently." That would've come off as disingenuous, which is worse than owning how much he loves the place when he leaves. Again, I think Matt Rhule is a bum, but he was in a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation there. And I thought he took the right path.

Duke 6, Louisville 11, and Carolina 25 in opening AP Poll. Pretty much the usual suspects, BYU at 8 is interesting. With Carolina football being an utter embarrassment, hoping the hoops team can give me something worth watching.
