Ok I remember that now Also He Hate Me was a member for a long time

i think it was the greg hardy superfan, but it could have been him. who knows. both characters were batshit crazy.

yes he did. one of several who did. i think he did it the most and caught the most poo for it. really nice guy, though. i don't blame him for leaving. David Carr's younger brother posted here for a while when David was here....up until things went south for him. HE was talking about how proud he was of his older brother and how glad he was getting a second shot. Yes, that was Derek.

it's a beautiful thing.

i had breakfast with a few old friends of mine a couple weeks ago and two of them can't hear a thing and i swear half the time i was with them the conversations went like that.

hmmm.....good to know! interesting.

probably a good idea considering what happened with Bryce last year. Would do them all good to sit and watch for at least a game or two to see how it's done in the pros.

serious question...does OG stand for old guy?

ransom will likely start unless they bring in julian blackmon. one of those two edge players will start early in the season. it won't take long for TMac to start, either. they might make him wait a week or two before making him a starter, but he's for sure going to be one of them.

this "now" moment will likely pass in a few days when i and most people quit caring about this whole thing. still think it was an unfunny immature jackass move and i have to say i'm not surprised by those who loved it and thought it was hilarious.

only if it's cheap and high quality.

yeah...very favorable remarks from what i've heard. seems everyone was also very surprised with the TMac pick. that video was funny "he lied to my face"

can't believe that this wasn't already happening. probably put all of it on some kind of signal chat.

so last night my daughter who is playing softball had a parents vs daughter softball scrimmage. i grew up playing baseball and played softball for most of my college and adult life up until about a decade ago. i didn't really have any reason to stop, but i also wasn't in any situations to play. i figured, "why not?" well, now i know "why not?". about 8 years ago i slipped at work and banged my head on the concrete floor. had a concussion that was pretty bad for a while, but that was a long time ago. the only lingering thing going on is that i have double vision, but i'm used to is. i've adjusted....or at least i thought i had. i played catcher (one of the positions i used to play a lot) and i got up to bat. both ended up being terrifying. apparently when you've got double vision, it also affects your depth perception. i couldn't see the ball coming. well i saw it, but i didn't know where it was. i got hit once and i thought, "ok. i'm done." i'm talking to my wife about it and she says, "well, you're probably never going to play softball again." that's a sad realization for some reason. well it was in the moment. then my thought was, "i really have to pee" and i was over it. point of all that is, getting old is...... interesting. thanks for letting me share.

this was stupid and immature and anyone who thinks it was funny is just as immature. just a jackass move for anyone on anyone. makes me want to cheer for Shadeur now.

nothing against him, but i hope he doesn't make the team unless he blows the doors off everyone. i just don't like the idea of us being in such shape that we let a guy who took a year off last year get a roster spot. i'm sure he had good reasons, but i'm more interested in seeing the younger guys get a shot or David Moore since he proved himself last year with us.

9 wins and NFCS champs this year.

i'd like to keep this thread alive all offseason. close it first day of training camp. that's my goal.

good write up, btw. thanks for doing all that work

I fixed the OP for those of us using dark mode.

glad we stuck to it. i think we're going to be really happy we did.

this place had been cooking for a few years before i got in here and already had an....ummmm......interesting culture. i remember it being called the panthers huddle before the team shut down that name and then the big crash after that ATL game in 2008 where Harry Douglas(?) went nuts.

i've been here over 20 years now. i'm not planning on going anywhere, but i think if zod sold it i might. depends on who he sold it to i guess.

i'm really digging everyone that we drafted. just looking at that list and i see most of them being people who can or will get used pretty heavily in the next few years. i think Horn will probably have the hardest time getting serious play time of all of them. yeah...we definitely got three starters in that bunch coming out of the gate (TMac, Scourton, and Ransom) and four more that will be in heavy rotation.

i'm quite happy with this draft, especially after hitting all the stuff we did in the offseason leading up to the draft. bringing in moering, bobby brown, and wharton was huge for us. so was dowdle. i think that set us up quite nicely for the draft. i think tmac will be a really good target for bryce. same with mitchell. we've got a good WR room right now with a ton of potential. i REALLY like the TE room right now. RBs looks good now as well. i think that defense is going to be a lot better next year as well. we added a lot of beef to the DL and a lot of boom to safety...all of it geared towards shutting down the run game. the last few weeks our pass rush was getting to the QB quite a bit and giving them a rough time. i think there was already a lot of momentum to build on there. it was just the run game that kept killing us. looks like we got that fixed.
