Inb4 angry ales

 

is that close to campus? it's a 20 minute walk to my car, so i pretty much need something two seconds away. i'm parked across from the macadoo's on harris, so if they have a tv worth a poo and actually run sound in the bar i may just end up there

I don't know much about Macadoo's as far as watching the game but I believe that is on University City BLVD (49) and not Harris Blvd. I also don't think there is an Angry Ales anywhere around UNCC either. 

 

I would hit up Picasso's at the Grande Promenade shopping complex (Look for Walgeen's) on Harris Blvd /Tryon across from the hospital. Less than a mile from where you are.

JR is right about Macadoos in terms of the location.  Still isn't that far away.  The last time I was there, they had a projector screen in the bar area.  Not sure about the sound though.

 

There is a Buffalo Wild Wings in the same shopping center as Picasso's.

 

There's also T.MACs, Boardwalk Billy's, or if you feel like being distracted by bewbs, there's a Bikini's.  All are within 5 minutes of each other.

 

Edit: Looks like Bikini's closed down.

      From what I gather, sure it allows you more room in that you can manipulate the cap more due to smaller prorated amounts to fit salaries in, but for cap purposes, you're still on the hook for the money at the end of the day.    "ChatGPT You said: What are the advantages for NFL teams to sign larger signing bonuses? ChatGPT said: NFL teams often use large signing bonuses as a strategic tool in contracts. While they cost real cash up front, they offer several advantages, especially when it comes to salary cap management, player retention, and negotiation leverage. Here's a breakdown of the benefits: ✅ 1. Salary Cap Flexibility Signing bonuses are prorated over the life of the contract (up to 5 years) for salary cap purposes. This allows teams to spread out the cap hit, even if the player receives the money immediately. Example: A $20M signing bonus on a 4-year deal counts only $5M/year against the cap. ✅ 2. Attracting Top Talent Players love signing bonuses because they're guaranteed money paid up front. Offering a bigger signing bonus can sweeten the deal without inflating yearly salaries. ✅ 3. Front-Loading Real Cash, Not Cap Teams with strong cash flow can pay big bonuses now while minimizing the immediate cap hit. Useful for teams trying to build around rookie QB contracts or with flexible cash budgets. ✅ 4. Locking in Key Players Larger bonuses make it harder for a player to be released early due to dead cap consequences. This can create more job security for the player and roster continuity for the team. ✅ 5. Leverage in Restructures Big signing bonuses create future cap hits via proration. Teams can later restructure deals (e.g., convert salary to bonus) to create even more cap space. ✅ 6. Competitive Edge In free agency, a team offering more guaranteed cash up front often wins the bidding war, even if the total contract value is lower than another team's. ⚠️ Key Caveat: Large signing bonuses increase dead cap risk if the player is cut or traded early."   I think that roster bonuses can be a useful tool if you're trying to keep players in by manipulating numbers and spreading the hit over time, but I don't think that it's something that you want to use unless it's "necessary." I don't know that you want to get into signing rookies on roster bonuses, as the bust rate is relatively high.

      not even if that team in New Orleans disbands before the first game.  Saw one 2026 mock that had them drafting first next year.
