Will Smoking Be Banned in the Stadium

The amount of sound created by a stadium crowd is significant enough to damage your hearing over time. So the example stands whether someone yells directly (ouch) in your ear or not.

But at this point I think you are avoiding the point of my argument and trying to nitpick details.

<3 KillerKat I guess we won't see eye to eye on this one :)

Yeah i think i got what you meant with the 2nd post.

Also I love how smokers take up the Rosa Parks mentality. "I WILL NOT SMOKE IN A SMOKING ONLY SECTION, IF YOU DON'T LIKE MY SMOKING, YOU MOVE AWAY!"

"We shall perserveeeeeeeeeeeeere."

I agree that is disrespectful.

That's people for you.

The same right that fans in the fervor of the moment have to invade my hearing with damagingly intense soundwaves. (I am not actually against this but it is an equivalent example)

That statement is equivalent to someone saying they blame the musicians, or the speaker manufacturers, or musical instrument manufacturers, at the Heavy Metal concert they attended for damaging their hearing. If you don't want your hearing invaded by loud noises, then you have the choice to not go.

They chose to go, and knew it was gonna be loud, and you know the same is true about stadium noise......so wrong example.

I guess you would blame the Lord/Jesus/God/ or whomever it is you worship, or maybe even Ben Franklin, for getting soaking wet, and struck by lightning while you go outside and play in a thunderstorm as well.....don't you?

People that don't smoke, don't choose to go to places where they know they will be bothered by some jackass that could care less if they invade someones right to not be bothered by said smoke.

Most people I know that can't stand smoke, are allergic to smoke, or just flat don't like inhaling smoke while eating their salad, watching a game, or wiping their ass.....just don't choose an environment where they have to DEAL with it.

Smokers should just inject air into their veins and f**king get it over with already.
Truth for once.

I don't really care much about your rights as a smoker, hell as a human being in general. I'm pretty much more important, better, and more evolved than you anyway and in any way that counts. Your choice to smoke just reaffirms my belief you're an idiot. You're just borrowing my air and I expect to get repaid on that loan, in full, before you hack up your brown lungs and die while taking that one last toke through your tracheotomy tube before you meet the Marlboro Man.

By the same coin you KNOW that people could be smoking, especially when gathered into large crowds, and yet you (general not direct) choose to go there and get angry when they do. But yes you did pick out the frivolous details that I thought everyone would be able to quickly understand which my poorly illustrated argument was using to relay a greater point. Perhaps I should try harder next time I use allusion and relation together. (crap I hope I said that right starting to get kinda drunkish)

Despite all of that I like what you say at the end of your post. If you do not like it avoid it yourself. Do not impose what you want on others.

edit: Crap I gotta stay out of this thread.

This is just asinine. So non-smokers should just stay inside and never go out in public? What kind of messed up logic is that? The whole point of what me and electro are saying is non-smokers don't have a choice of where to go because a smoker can be anywhere and decide to light one up at any time because the smoker just doesn't give a damn and forces the non-smoker to deal with it.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      It all sounds great. The only unknowns are injuries and how they will need to be addressed. Horn has a history as does the newly added Jaelen Phillips and Cooker has yet to play an entire season as well. And then there are the Ikey's - totally unexpecteded injuries that put a major wrench in your plans. I do think its a great plan though.

      If we pay Bryce like a franchise QB we're completely and utterly buttfuged.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      In my view, the realistic expectation for this team to compete will start 2027.  At that time, I think we could be looking at the following (this is HIGHLY speculative):   QB:  You know, Bryce.  I am not a fan, but they don't ask me.  But there is reason for hope--and here it is.  Bryce will be entering his prime.  Since we are likely to pay him, there will be changes that I include throughout this exercise--I realistically speculate on what they are going to do with Bryce and then I realistically speculate on what means in terms of the cap and other positions. Bryce HAS IMPROVED.  The idea is that if you give him more weapons and protection, that will continue.  His career:   At this rate, if his growth continues, by 2027 we should expect nearly 30 TDs and about 12 Interceptions and a Rating of about 98.  His completion percentage should settle at 65-66% or so.  If that happens, you can win with it. The following stats demonstrate how the Panthers will be able to afford it (and re-sign Ickey) My guess is they will require about $60m per year. This is why rookies who can play are important.  It also helps us see the blueprint.  You may disagree, but this is the cruel realities of the salary cap. Robert Hunt:  Cut post June 1 and save $19m.  Who do you replace him with?  Ickey. Tershawn Wharton:  Cutting him saves nearly $15m.  We should all hope to see Aaron Hall (UDFA) make the roster and play well.  Regardless, this is a position we would likely have to address in the next draft. Trevin Moehrig:  Cutting Moehrig as the starting SS saves this team $16.5m.   Ransom will be on year 3 of a cheap rookie deal and should be more than ready to take the reins.  their styles are similar.  Furthermore, FS Wheatley (R, 4th round) will be starting. Taylor Moton:  So much depends on his knee, but I have an idea that he can play another 3 years.  extending him could save the team about $5m per year.  Cutting him outright would save the team about $21m. In the most drastic situation, we have to cut Moton and the other three players mentioned.   We would need (in all likelihood) a starting DT and RT.  It is possible that the DE would be addressed, but Wharton's production (so far) could be equaled by a rookie.  Look for a cut free agent and a 2027 draft pick here.  If you cut Moton, you save $21m, and that would be the only big hole to fill.  Having Ickey at RG gives you some depth at T, and Ickey could be the guy.  T could be pick in the 2027 draft (first round), fwiw.  It saves you $21m while costing you $5m, for example. We get younger, creating a core of Freeling, Hecht, and the RT first rounder in 2027) along with Ekownu (second contract in the $15m range, and Lewis, whose contract would be in the $16m range if not extended.)  The OL cuts (Hunt, Moton) would save $40m.  The OL would get younger and still solid with veterans at G.   By cutting Wharton (no brainer if his play stays the same) and Moehrig (good player--but we have Ransom on a rookie contract who would not be that much of a drop off--if any) in addition to Hunt and Moton, we would save over $70m in cap room. We would be able to give Bryce bag  and we would have enough to re-sign Ickey (if the knee is not too risky) to a Guard contract (probably at a discount, coming off that injury).  Furthermore, we could add a RT in the draft (or a RG if Ickey moves to RT) and that would be the only large hole to fill. Correct my logic if you see issues-- On defense, in addition to the aforementioned, Scott ($2m contract) is out, replaced by a 4th round rookie contract. CB Jackson's contract ($7.8m) expires and he is (possibly) replaced by a rookie contract.  At Edge, patrick Jones II's $10m contract expires and he is likely a reserve, and his role is absorbed by Phillips, Scourton, Princely, and possible an UDFA like Isaiah Smith or a 2027 draft pick.   These productive developmental players over the past 2 drafts will pay huge dividends.  On paper, I see the team getting much younger and possibly better while cutting nearly $100m and reallocating that money to get more production.
