True Dedication - Dave Grohl

You may not be a fan of the Foo Fighters, but you have to give some respect to Dave Grohl.  He broke his leg yesterday during the second song of a concert, went to the back to get fixed up, then came back out and finished the concert.  A true badass.  I am now a huge fan and, hell, I may go out and buy some Foo Fighter music today just because of this.

Two songs into the band's show at Ullevi stadium, Grohl seemed to have miscalculated a jump onto a ramp, falling instead into the security pit. "I think I just broke my leg," he announced to the crowd while lying on the ground, as captured by a fan video. "I think I really broke my leg!"

 

About an hour later, Grohl returned to the stage on a stretcher, with the assistance of two medics. They set him down on a chair, from which he proceeded to rock for another two-and-a-half hours.

i've got to say that actually teared me up a little bit for some reason. as a former performer, i loved seeing that dedication. but as a long time grohl fan i love seeing him still kicking it and i can't believe that it's been going on for over 20 years now. that's unreal.

also it's hard for me to think about the amount of fight in him compared to cobain.(i was a nirvana fan, btw, and covered a lot of their material back in the day) cobain wasn't built to endure. grohl undoubtedly was. it's fun to watch him keep going and have so much fun with it.

​Agree completely; I got chills when he came back on stage...in a stretcher nonetheless.  I definitely want to go see him if they roll through Charlotte or the surrounding area.

He broke his leg bc they got Royal Blood to open for them this summer. The anount of rock from EB shattered his bones. That was cool to finish a concert. I went to see a concert guy showed up two hrs late and sang his hit song said goodnight and left. Asheville was in near hippie riot.

Still haven't figured out how to post yt yet. Help for pie.

Something from Nothing might be the best rock song of the 21st century.

​Going to try this out.  I was struggling with it earlier.  All of the sudden it worked for me and I don't know how it happened.

Edit: Okay, this is going to blow your mind.  Apparently, you just paste the link into the post!  It might take a minute to actually realize it's a YT link, but it will load eventually.  I'm posting from the web, not the app.

      If they lose the last three......

      By frankw · Posted

      I presented that scenario because this is a home game and we seemed to have improved in some capacity in that area as of recently. The problem with the possibility of sweeping the Bucs is this team has had a habit of quickly falling victim to momentum shifts. The Bucs are coming off a bitter loss the same as the Panthers but the Bucs have a much better proven track record this time of year and they have performed when the pressure is on unlike our Panthers. We have a shot against the Seahawks here in BOA but that is a matchup that could quickly get out of hand because they are a well coached team and that goes back to the momentum shifts I mentioned. I just don't see this team beating the Bucs in their stadium to close the season. Tall order to say the least.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      I’d give it another year for Sanders and Evans, I don’t much care what you do with Tremble’s spot. Let him have another year or maybe replace him. Haven’t looked at his contract so that may be the determining factor.

      Following the crazy up down pattern we finish 9-8 with an improbable sweep of TB, and lay an egg in the home playoff game.  I don’t know if I can sign on to sweeping TB but I suppose it’s possible, they aren’t really that good this year.    ps I can buy beating TB Sunday and losing to Seattle.  Then it just gets to can you fluke one game. Any given Sunday. So we’ll see.
