I kind of want to show this video to my mom to get her reaction but I'm sure she's just going to think it's no big deal

watching football with extended family on turkey day is eye opening. Apparently all these guys are "thugs". There are so many things they take issues with that I don't think twice about.

I had to down beer after beer to avoid such convos..   It stems from his "cockiness"  now that there are fewer and fewer things to gripe about. 

 

Mind blowing.   People are so far from self-aware when it comes to what truly sparks these reactions.

Thug is just the censored way of calling someone the "n word" nowadays

Yeah I hear the exact same word bandied about. "He's too cocky"... well he's got every right to be alittle proud. Besides, these people don't understand that Newton is an entertainer. He's the first entertainer this franchise has ever had. Even Steve Smith, with all his drama, wasn't a limelight guy. 

Cam has put in the work, and endured three losing seasons and two playoff heartbreaks. He has improved his game and is having the best season of his NFL career, not to mention his team is undefeated. If that doesn't give someone a reason to dance after his TD celebrations, idk what does.

Not really. I consider white trash to be thugs too. Same goes for biker gangs, Occupy rallies, politicians, MS13, and the like. The term thug implies a lifestyle to me, not a skin color.

I see the word Thug being used more as a generalization personally. Like someone calls a black person Thug because they're really thinking the N word. They call a white person Thug because they're really thinking White Trash. I see people using Thug when they really mean lowlife scum. Thug just seems to be the new norm since they can't call people what they really want.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
