My girl knows what it is, but doesn't really care.  Every once in a while she will ask what I'm reading about but after about two sentences of me explaining something Panthers related, something has usually distracted her and she isn't listening anymore.  She will however watch any sports event with me and is genuinely interested in learning the rules and why certain things are happening in game.

When I first joined in '05 or '06 I was on it all the time up to the '08 server crash. My wife was rather put off by it. Leading up to and after that server crash a lot of the old school posters started disappearing (going to facebook in many cases) and I started cutting back significantly. I probably spent five times the hours on the huddle in those 2-3 years than I had on the entire internet from the mid 90's through the mid 2000's. A year or two after my "scaleback"  my wife admitted that it had driven a wedge in our marriage and that she had dropped numerous hints and warnings to me over the years but I seemed to ignore them (probably true). Things are fine now and have been for many years but there are times I think back to how much work I didn't get done, how many things I probably missed out on. And yet I still seem to fall back on the coinage, "It was worth it, well mostly"

​Back then I never left the lounge in the offseason.  One of the reasons for my cutback no good threads any more here.

    • An odd little vibe I've noticed here of late: some folks are "all or nothing" to an absolutely extreme level when it comes to Bryce. There are, in fact, things Bryce does well. Likewise, there are areas in which he's improved over his time here. He has, on several occasions now, legitimately helped us win games. On the flipside, there have been failures in other areas as well as coaching that we're not in any way his fault.  And finally , it is also genuinely possible that the team may see him as the future, even if we don't. The craziest part, though? It's actually possible that they're right and we're wrong. All of this is true, and more, yet if you accept any of these premises people go from zero to apesh-t in under three seconds 😳 Anything less than total disavowal of Bryce and / or agreement that he's the worst QB of all time and suddenly you're a "stan". Oy 🙄 The reality though?  Bryce is indeed an NFL quarterback. Not a great one, probably backup level good, and I've seen way worse. Now, if you run that statement through your personal Google translator and it comes back with some version of "I want to throw 50 million a year at Bryce for the next 10 years", that's not really my issue it's yours  I don't wanna make him the franchise quarterback, but it's not my call. Win or lose, the team is going to do what they think is best. And as always, if it disagrees with what I think we should do, I'm gonna hope I'm the one who's wrong. Internet clout means nothing. Watching my favorite team win at my favorite sport meas fun 😁
    • I like Icky but he was the wrong tackle to take. Learning run blocking is much easier than learning pass blocking. Cross was pass pro ready. He was the tackle we should have taken without hesitation. 
    • Never saw this angle of the Tyson fight either lol.
