If you haven't heard it yet, listen to it now.  One of the best I have heard.

Its panther related because both the panthers and Chris bring tears to your eyes by their performance.

 

 

chknwing,  you're the second man I've heard say Botti will bring tears to your eyes.  Is it really that moving?

I'd much rather see that than some pop star who can't sing a lick without autotune mangle our nation's anthem while trying to show off their mediocre vocal talent.

This guy plays the anthem on a trumpet with a bunch of trills and doodads and flourishes, it's really really moving.

 

Some pop girl sings it with a bunch of trills and doodads and flourishes, just sing the dang song ain't no need for all that.

It must be the most nerve racking thing in the world to sing to a crowd of ravenous piranha just waiting for you to fug up a line so they can outrage and put your reputation on a spitfire

There's a gigantic difference between what this guy did and what typical pop singers do.  He makes good use of passing tones, adds subtle ghost notes with great articulation, while still hitting the longer important notes.  Singers have a tendency to 'trill and doodad' on those important notes, which makes it sound off.  Adding variation to those longer notes is one mark of a bad singer(i.e. they aren't capable of holding that note).

Those of you here in the Triangle (and those of you willing to make the drive if you loved this performance that much)... he'll be at DPAC in Durham on November 16. Among those performing with him that night is pianist Taylor Eigsti, who happens to be my good friend's cousin (and is unfortunately a 49ers fan... haha).

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
