I'm 30 years old and have never gotten a trophy in anything.  If I ever coach a kids team, I'm going to lay out all of the trophies on a bed and lay naked with them for a while.

You're 30 too?  I got a few trophies, luckily, now and back them I didn't give two shits about them.

In the 80's they had bigger trophies for the winning teams and that is what we wanted. We wanted to win every week and usually did.  I couldn't have cared less about the tiny participatory trophies. I wanted that BASYL (Brandon Area Youth Soccer League) championship trophy.

We didn't give our flag football team trophies this past season. The little sons of bitches lost in the title game. Bling has to be earned.

I'm pretty sure there needs to be a manly men Hall of Fame.  You, Derek Jeter (he gives baskets of gifts to his females after he bangs them, then sends them on the way), Luke, Ron Burgundy, and Charlie Sheen all need statues in that Hall of Fame.

oh yeah, I wanted the tall trophies.  Whenever I was given a little @ss trophy, I didn't give 2 $hits about it.

When I grew up we only got trophies for actual awards... like having the highest batting average or winning the championship... 

 

When my kids were growing up playing soccer and basketball, all the kids got some sort of trophy and I never agreed with that.

 

Teaching kids that everyone is a winner is not a great plan imo.  It's not real life and makes a for a rude awakening later on...

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      The same folks crying about the OL right now were crying about it in 2023 too. We have tied up over 100 million dollars in two interior olinemen alone. We've invested multiple first and second round picks in the offense. We hired an offensive minded head coach. This is an offensive team. The offense needs to produce or people need to be replaced.

      This is the same place that has ridiculed and blasted Caleb Williams at every opportunity he has his team sitting at 10-4 in the same NFC that the Panthers are competing in. And their division in the NFC North is as or more competitive as our division. Yet from the same people who have very high standards for Williams we get every excuse imaginable for the smallest starting QB in the league even when he and his team continue to disappoint when the pressure is on. You lot aren't any less inconsistent than anyone else.

      The Panthers are 9th in cap spent on offense this year.  However next season is already a different story  The Panthers as it stands right now will be 18th in cap spent on offense and 8th in cap spent on defense  The Panthers are currently set to spend more on defense next year than they are on offense this season Guys like Jaycee and Moehrig cap numbers take a big jump. Wharton has a massive cap hit   Jaycee Moehrig and Wharton in 2025 The same 3 in 2026 So this same defense as it stands right now will cost more in 2026 than this offense does right now… Got anything else you want to try?
