i hate it so much when people yodel on about how they predicted such and such would happen way back and fashion it into some kind of apparent posting prowess.

 

that said, i totally called four games and said it was the fairest length, so you should all give me respect for it now.

If you continue to poke the bear, eventually you will get mauled.

Why do you guys have such a hard time with this?

The league has tried so hard to ignore the blatant disregard for the rules the Pats show every chance they get.

The fans have expressed fatigue in dealing with these guys and the league had to respond.

I'll give you respect, but I'm definitely not giving you a bottle of 1800.

The suspension could be more.

The fine and draft pick? I think it is excessive. The report pretty much said no one else from the team was involved. Why are they being punished?

Maybe the punishment is a compromise from an 8+ game suspension.

I would argue that the 2 guys that did all this, McNally and the other guy, are a part of the organization. Therefore the organization is responsible. The entire organization doesn't have to be "in" on it for the organization to have cheated.

I think the 4 games is a touch light. But meh. I've said before he should get 6. The money is a token and irrelevant. The draft picks are harsh and stronger than I thought. Don't get me wrong, I like them getting punished and felt they should lose some picks. But a 1 and a 4 tells me the league was upset by this and felt pressure from the public.

They made a statement with this punishment. Teams are on notice. Don't even come close to messing with the rules.

      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.

      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.
