You people whine about the media too much


Sam Mills Fan

Recommended Posts

I feel like the old "we get no respect!" thing has reached an all-time high here on the Huddle.

 

If these Falcon-loving, Jaguar-picking, Panther-bashing analysts bother you so much where your heart starts racing and you get legitimately pissed off, there's a simple thing you can do: change the f'ing channel. When it comes to analysis of smaller market teams, these guys don't know jackshit. Listen when a national guy comes on a radio show like the Mac Attack, it's as if they just got done reading Panthers Cliffs Notes 2015 and want to give their "expert opinion". These national guys give factual errors about the team all the time. Heard a guy talk about how awful Cam supposedly was this preseason. Recently heard another guy talk about how Shaq Thompson would be playing safety/running back for us. You know exactly what I'm talking about too. You can hear it in their voices: they're literally faking most of what they supposedly know about the Panthers. 

 

So don't let that stuff bother you. We're usually bad when they say we'll be good and we're usually good when they say we'll be bad. If you're hardcore enough of a Panthers fan to be posting on the Huddle, it is not an exaggeration to say that you literally know more about the Panthers than paid "experts" like Adam Schein or random NFL.com guy or Herm Edwards. Why should you care about the opinion of someone less knowledgeable than you on a subject?

because. I live my life vicariously through a football team. An attack on them is like a personal attack. I am an important cog to this teams success and I will not let people throw shade on me. Football for life and all that shenanigans.

I honestly don't understand it either.  I don't let it annoy me. The media is going to media no matter what the subject.

dude you are speaking latin with that. Folks around here are fighting each other to be the first to post the latest tweet, to say some mess that has been done 15x before in previous threads, or otherwise just gripe.

All know the logic of which you speak,but it doesnt matter. They are chasing internet forum fame and pie~ Its like a race to be the biggest wanker~

I dont see too much negative stuff around here,because anyone that dares to speak negative of the team is beaten down (usually with lame gif) for even daring to have a different perspective.

Don't give a sh%t what any one or any media outlets say or think about this team. I am visiting D.C this week and proudly drIving my truck around with a front Panther plate and a a team magnet on the tailgate. Give me the stink eye.......just don't mess with my truck.

What is worse whining because of the media, or a thread whining about the whining? Then again I'm whining about you whining about them whining...whiningception!

 

wtf!!!

Something needed to be said. People seriously need to quit worrying about those idiots in the media that are paid to spew bullshit. Their opinions dont affect the outcome of the game so who cares

    • He's not wrong though. You talk like a politician on here. Leaving yourself just enough wiggle room to say you never fully counted Bryce out if you need to....But we can all see it. Just say you think he is a bust outright and you will have to type a lot less. Obfuscating your opinion behind QB3 competitions etc....
    • Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
