NC State found an audio recording of the Rocky Mount speech in 2013 https://news.ncsu.edu/2015/08/mlk-audio/ https://www.npr.org/2015/08/17/432542027/early-recording-found-of-kings-i-have-a-dream-speech

And here's you stalking me again. You're looking creepier every time you check up on me.

Did you know that MLK also rehearsed and delivered the precursor to the "I Have a Dream" speech in Rocky Mount, NC in November 1962. Here is an exerpt from that speech: On November 27, 1962, Martin Luther King, Jr., delivered a speech in Rocky Mount. Before a crowd of nearly 2,000 in the gymnasium at Booker T. Washington High School, King used a number of expressions that made their way into his landmark “I Have a Dream” address at the Lincoln Memorial, which was part of the March on Washington in August 1963. Near the close he built toward these lines: “I have a dream that one day right here in Rocky Mount, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will meet at the table of brotherhood, knowing that one God brought man to the face of the Earth. I have a dream tonight that one day my little daughter and my two sons will grow up in a world not conscious of the color of their skin, but only conscious of the fact that they are members of the human race. . . .” Clayborne Carson, editor of the King Papers, notes that while this was not the first use of the “I have a dream” phrase, it “appears to be an important new rhetorical formulation.” By the spring and summer of 1963 the words were among the most frequent of King’s refrains.

As much as I no longer care about the Panthers, a Sean Payton hire would bring me back to this specific forum on a daily basis just to trash the organization. There must be at least a dozen or so retread, old school head coaches out there job hunting right now. Lovie Smith anyone? Fug, if you're gonna talk about Payton, why not go ask Bill Cowher while you're at it.

I mentioned this in the game thread, but hasn't Kochetkov lost his last 5 starts? Nevermind, I looked it up. He's lost his last 4 starts- 3 in regulation, and last night's SOL. He'll be needed much more next season than this, unless there's another injury along the way. But look, the Canes have to protect him as he'll be exposed to waiver claims if there's another significant injury and he needs to come back again this season. He only has 16 remaining games of the 38 that will lose his reassignment/waiver protection. Best try to get things worked out in Chicago and get him in net as much as possible while he's there. Not sure what shook him up, but he's gotta re-engage, just like Maverick after Goose died.....

That was on the broadcast when the shootout ended. He smashed his stick into the net post and left it on the ice as he skated off. Has he lost his last 5 games? I was thinking that last night, but not sure. Nonetheless, he should go back to Chicago and get some more work in. He'll be needed next season more than this season, so best to get things worked out now.

Pyotr "Not Ready for Prime Time" Kochetkov needs to be on the first flight back to Chicago and get Drury back here ASAP.

That was ass of a loss. Just a bad game against a bad team.

Get the Bally Sports app and it'll verify your TV provider with log in and you can watch live. Pretty good stream quality.

Have you tried the Bally Sports app? That's how I watch remotely.

Unfortunately, I have a commitment tonight and, unless I can sneak-watch it on my phone, I'll miss it. You guys make some noise and I'll be waiting for a win.

Chatfield and Slavin also played Crosby pretty hard last night. The Canes "Blue Line Crew" has to be one of the best and deepest in the league right now. The fact RBA has no problem sending Chatfield out there to play point on the PP says a lot. I, for one, am glad #5 is getting the recognition he deserves. He's playing better every game and works his tail off. His speed has always been underrated and that move he made last night going to the middle and taking that pass from Aho to score was stuff you'd expect from a forward.

All in their brand new Christmas present sweaters.

The puck hit the stick and turned the blade and the refs call a penalty on Chats.

Freddie needs to lock this down now and the Canes need an insurance goal.

Sounds like there are too many bandwagon... er... Pittsburgh fans in the building.

That was fluky. Anderson getting cocky.

Killed the 2-man. Great save on Malkin.

I get that a lot. My D is potent.

Good opening period for the Canes. Gave up a few too many SOG early for my liking, but the scoreboard is all that matters.

I have a great looking golf swing, too. Doesn't mean I can shoot a 65.

Canes should defer the PP and play short-handed.

First trip into the O zone, TT is wide open to the net and doesn't shoot.

Pittsburgh is on a back-to-back after getting trucked by Winnipeg last night 4-1. Canes are heavily favored.

Yes.
