Pepsi is no longer the #2 soda brand. All hail Dr Pepper
Lame Duck replied to PanthersATL's topic in Huddle Lounge
I drink carbonated drink before I go to sleep. Mineral water. That’s about it. -
Bryce footwork is replicate of Drew Brees footwork out of shotgun. Three little steps and throw. Drew Brees was master of 5-15 yard passes. Ball gone under 3 seconds most times. Last year Bryce stayed like a statue after snapping the ball with both feet flat on turf while taking slow steps back. This year he’s nimble on tippy toes until he throws. He takes three steps back super quick, like Brees.

And that area is beyond booming. They redeveloped a ton along Monroe Rd hoping for Silver line. Then they could connect South Blvd to Silver line via Fairview Rd which is only few miles. That would connect East, South, and North. I guess it makes too much sense.

Planning for the future of Bank of America Stadium
Lame Duck replied to Carolina Panthers's topic in Carolina Panthers
WSOC article said the Panthers and City of Charlotte have been negotiating for over a year. I wonder if City of Charlotte cause Rock Hill location to collapse. Seems like Tepper is getting a much better deal from Charlotte even with all of the lawsuits settlements. -

Will the Panthers be better than most are expecting?

You have always been the most positive person. You are a good dude. -
I’m against when it comes at cost of pulling light rail East when north already have one and East have none.
-
Yea but how convenient is that to have two lines go north plus toll lanes while no one else gets anything? East and South also projected to grow more than twice as fast as North on latest Mecklenburg projection data. I drive from uptown in all directions. I can get on I77 toll lane zoom thru to lake Norman no problem. I literally get stuck and stop and gone to East and South with no way around. Do we need to spend poo ton of money again to help North while the growth and traffic issues are all East and South?
-
There’s already line not too far away and most folks who work in uptown live East and South, not North. So who are they going to commute to Uptown? It will likely be another fail just most other things city planners do.
-
And just like that.. Silver Line is no more. It got replaced by Red Line. Sorry, Monroe, Indian Trail, Mint Hill, Matthews, Stallings folks. Enjoy getting stuck in bumper to bumper traffic. https://www.wsoctv.com/news/local/silver-line-matthews-left-out-charlottes-new-light-rail-plan/GEGP6DWYXVEODP7DNOCRHN7IV4/?outputType=amp

I get it but it’s a way around traffic and it gets a dissent traffic flow/revenue. City of Charlotte spent nearly a billion of taxpayer money on it, then called it terrible and now will build light rail right beside it while the same time requested approval to build toll lanes East and South (I77)… NC DOT basically called Charlotte city planner idiots and rejected it.
-
You think folks living in multi-million dollar homes on the lake Norman will take light rail? Nope, they will use toll roads. My point is Charlotte will spend huge money likely around a billion to take revenue from itself. They just finished I77 construction like 2-3 years ago…
-
Again, they spent close to a billion dollar on toll lanes already to help the traffic. Traffic going south is way worse to be fair. It’s stop and go nearly 24/7. Airport is a freaking nightmare. One of the largest airports in US with basically one way in and out and not enough parking.
-
No, its South Park and Ballantyne.
-
They already have light rail going north. This will kill little toll lanes revenue they are getting as is. Also, most folks who work in uptown live East and South, not North. They need light rail from the airport more than anything. Not another light rail going North.
-
Red line. Also going North , this time to Lake Norman, parallel to I77 where Charlotte spent nearly billion of tax payer money on toll lanes. Yes, the taxpayers will foot the bill this time too. https://www.wsoctv.com/news/local/all-aboard-city-charlotte-reaches-historic-agreement-red-line-records-show/AGX6PI5T6VA43IBX7K4OI4RZPM/

Yep, they wiped the floor with our team.

And just like that… it’s about to be banned. https://www.forbes.com/sites/dariosabaghi/2024/05/24/house-committee-approves-farm-bill-amendment-to-ban-delta-8-thc/?sh=129e83a49c4a

CBS does not think Bryce makes the leap
Lame Duck replied to Jackie Lee's topic in Carolina Panthers
Bryce, that’s your year to swim or sink. No pressure. -
Basically Bryce Young has a noodle arm and he won’t fit balls into tight windows. Too many question marks but we will likely suck cause of Young.

It better be 40 stories hotel with insane amenities
-
It said “at this time” as of May. You honestly think practicality with 5,000 seats cost $1.2B?
-
For $1.2B… it better be. You can build a brand new dome for that money. They will clearly reface the entire stadium inside and out. If I had to guess, they will get rid of Jumbotrons and will put roof over it. I expect they will announce their plans soon.

Caleb Williams is struggling big time in OTAs
Lame Duck replied to Lame Duck's topic in Carolina Panthers
I felt like Fields was ready to breakout. He has all the tools to be successful in NFL but they got rid of him for basically nothing and got rookie on a team that ready to compete now.
