You are right but it has been butchered so much over the years to try and up date the essay it came from because that kind of thinking got a lot of those people put to the guillotine or a constitution added to their monarchy.

Yeah sounds like you would be asked into court with that kind of friend lol. Smart man

Sounds like a fun relationship. To each their own. Side note, we're you his 'friend' that he used? No judgment if you weren't the one lying.

It can be a trap or a burden but not a tax.

I'll play $20 in slots to kill time and feel underwhelmed but I understand the addiction signs. It's like alcohol and alcoholism, banning it doesn't work because it will still be around so might as well make it regulated and then spend the effort to help those thst can't help themselves...if they want it. Your friend had to get caught eventually or he kept it below noticeable in his finances.

Me either. I never bet but just allowing the money to go elsewhere is stupid. It is already established and roadmaps for how to do it are in place. This is true for many items that this state remains in the stone-age on. I get not leading the pack but at a certain point it is just stupid and self harming when it has already become normalized and people here are doing it anyways.

So you can just keep doing it online tho? Cool stance while avoiding the reality of it all and avoiding collecting them taxes. NC be like

Meh. NFL guy says stuff. One of his bosses is our owner. Meh. Tepper's lack of experience and knowledge will dictate what happens next. He is already not getting a new stadium now. He basically bought himself 10 years to figure it out while he renovates BOA. Anything incredibly stupid is on the table. All I can hope for is that the crowd helps him figure it out and his ego gives into it.

Penning was an obvious project, zero surprise there. Very weird that Luvu has been so quiet anywhere else in the Pantherverse till this. Breakout player or quality backup is a big swing for a guy I his 5th year. We ate going to need Nixon so heal up young man.

I have heard they are very clicky. JR fell out after the negotiations. It's all political but if the 30 other owners are against you it would be a rough enough ride that cashing out would be vastly preferable to a fight that you can't win and would leave you vastly poorer. Also, who represents GB which has no real owner? They even let that one in the room when not absolutely official business going down? Anywho, billionaire money equals billionaire problems lol

Doesn't Goodell work for the owners? If enough of them wanted Snyder out he would be gone. I can only imagine the stuff they have on each other or what damage they could inflict through legal votes and such.

Because Tepper bought the team and then he hired Rhule who should have failed his interview but Hurney was running it and Rhule had meatballs...And here we are. Maybe next time but not yet.

Yeah it is terrible and some good conversations going on not even about the 2 tragic deaths but holy crap. RIP Ferguson and Goose.

Time to grow the ignore list. This thread is really helping.

Forever Sam. It went wrong when they made him a QB.

Goodell showing up to Congress. Perfect rug to hide any other problems under now lol.

After getting caught with his hand in the cookie jar? Everyone suspected where the Gruden emails came from and this just feels like more of that. Before this I would still be skeptical but it looks like a shifting situation. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy lol

Considering everything else that has gone on up there it was just a matter of time until something shook lose on Dan himself. What a POS

I hope the last 4 drag it out for the guy and cash out a hell of a lot more than 1 mil they were reporting after his new contract, he deserves it.

This is not a place for optimism, again sadly. Let's talk when Rhule is fired and we are looking at a new coaching staff without Hurney in the room. That's when optimism re-enters the conversation in Pantherland.

CJ has upside and Donte is just overpriced now. Maybe we can unload him to a needy team if CJ steps up because if he does then he is heads and shoulders above Donte who is a little meh with speed.

I want to go to a game where Corral starts. That's it. It's been 2 dead ass years under Rhule and Covid. It would be nice to laugh and chant 'Fire Rhule' for one game.

All of that. There should be no place to hide left at this point. The crowds, the broadcast crews and the media can all teach Tepper why a token 3rd year was not needed for anyone with a set of eyes and a brain. Player development is the only place I have any positive hope left at this point and even that is tampered by the reality of it all.

They are all extremely well paid and a lot of them enjoy that job, even if they lose. I would think this includes the ones that don't love the job or are staring at a contract year where this interferes with their chances. Even on a bad team, it's a fun job that has a great minimum pay scale and all of them have been doing it a long time. Can't argue with them looking at it all and going WTF then switching over to ohh well.
