Simple solution.. go buy a digital antenna.. I haven't paid for cable or satellite in over a year don't miss it a bit.. i have a digital antenna than can pick up to 60 miles away, looks damn crisp.. and a roku with netflix and hulu subscriptions.. and i'm a prime member.. saves me like 125 a month.. helps if you know someone with cable or sat subscription, then you can use their credentials to get the ESPN channel on roku as well.. that gives you saturday college games and MNF

I don't have Dish Network but it would be funny if DirecTV actually shut me off considering I've been threatening to cancel with them for like ten years to get a discount on Sunday Ticket. 

Actually that would kind of suck ass. 

Will you call for me? I despise talking on the phone more than the Patriots

Get an OTA antenna and you will get ABC, NBC, and CBS for free in HD.  That will cover you for about 95 % of the games we play.

I did that this season. I would suggest it. Picture is actually better than what I ever had with Cable or Satellite. I just use my parents cable login information for Watch ESPN and I can watch MNF. Saving me a ton of money every month not having to pay some BS high charge just becuase there is no competition for cable or internet out there. When Google Fiber hits Charlotte I'm dropping windstream faster than a pass to Corey Brown.

I've got the same setup as well. Have you looked into Sling? I've been using it for 3 months now, and I highly recommend it. It's $20/month, and you get cable channels like ESPN, ESPN2, TBS, TNT, and CNN that stream live via your roku.

      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.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      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.
