On the heels of todays announcement of the KC Chiefs partnering with Hallmark for a Chiefs-themed christmas movie... What would your proposed Panthers' xmas themed movie be? https://people.com/tyler-hynes-hunter-king-lead-hallmark-and-kansas-city-chiefs-christmas-movie-8668957

there's also a functional difference in design of enclosed/domed stadiums vs pure outdoor venues outside of southern california

The Braves got a new ballpark with the 96 Olympics, moved out in 2017 to a different new ballpark. A solid 20-year run there

Met him twice, for a grand total of maybe 15s of interaction time, if that He was kinda not pleasant. Not mean, but not great either. Mrs Tepper, on the other hand, was super nice.

30m is better than the 90m from ATL. (And driving south afterwards is hecka easier than driving north)

he didn't seem to be in the draft planning meetings... so that's good.

I don't recall lots of video of Tep talking to each player as they drafted 'em. Looked like it was all D&D doing the chatter. If true, then definitely better than previous seasons' antics

What bothered me was the "what type of guys are we looking for" conversation. I didn't get anything that wasn't obvious. "We need a player that can block". Ok -- don't we look for that every year? I hope the stuff they cut out of the vid were things about WHY they felt a specific player met certain criteria that might be considered proprietary to our 2024 overall plan

I have no issue with the team owner being in the room during Draft Day. The improvement on the tape looked like the Tepps were not involved beyond casual conversations. It really looked like Dan and friends were running the show

the NFL wants to expand teams, not move teams (despite what's going on with Jacksonville -- and there's no way the Jags would pour that much $ into renovating their stadium if they're going to relocate to London as has long been rumored)

He has been surprisingly quiet since Dan/Dave took over. It's been nice

If I'm interpreting this correctly, the breakout makes sense: Column 3, things the Owner/team wants: better locker room, front office space. Premium spaces and club level that match what people are spending. Better press facilities because a happy press is a friendly press Column 2, things that benefit both the team and the city: an event pavilion, making the place look nice Column 1, things that make the city look good: better outside, better restrooms/security, a CITY VIEW from the stadium, improvements for the guest experience

Some Pizza Huts still have the buffet. You just need to know where to look https://thebullamarillo.com/ixp/179/p/amarillo-pizza-hut-bringing-back-the-good-ol-days/

From the "Good News, Bad News" department: Tuesday will give players a tour of Allianz Arena, home of November's game, before hosting an event at Pizza Hut.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick is dating former cheerleader Jordon Hudson, according to reports. Hudson is 24 years old, and Belichick is 72 years old.

we're not old enough to get that call

playing for the falcons is almost the same thing. Purgatory, at least

Not as big a slap as we'd hope. The NFL has officially disciplined the Falcons for tampering with free agents this offseason, including quarterback Kirk Cousins. According to a news release from the NFL, the team had improper contact with Cousins, wide receiver Darnell Mooney and tight end Charlie Woerner during the two-day negotiating period prior to the start of the 2024 League Year. The team will forfeit its fifth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and pay a fine of $250,000, while General Manager Terry Fontenot will pay a $50,000 fine. https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/falcons-disciplined-tampering-with-3-free-agents/6HMPHBZFIFBEXEUZNEVDABSSVA/

Even independent living in a retirement community can run $3-6k/month or more. And some communities have huge entry fees ($100k+ up front) that they hold until the tenant leaves

likely an unpopular opinion: nobody should *rely* on SS to cover their expenses in retirement. If you plan for retirement in a manner that does not take SS into account, then you can treat any SS money you get as an add't bonus entry =-= Practical SS advice: the longer you can hold off before collecting SS, the higher the monthly SS payment amount will be. (In other words, don't start collecting at 62 if you can afford not to)

it read like a poorly researched study

One economist says you can retire on just $50,000-$100,000 in total savings, citing experience of actual retirees as evidence 85% of retirement-age Americans (65 to 74) said they were "living comfortably, or at least doing OK" when asked how well they were doing financially Only 15% said they were struggling. The finding matters, Biggs says, because most retirees have much less than $1 million in the bank. In the federal survey, the typical senior who reported a satisfactory retirement had $50,000 to $100,000 in savings. “It’s impossible to find any evidence that seniors need even a fraction of $1.46 million in savings to be financially secure,” Biggs wrote. By his argument, retirees don’t need nearly so much savings as financial planners say they do. source: https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2024/06/07/retire-without-a-million-dollars/73969717007/
