My observations from the whole show:

  • LOVE LOVE LOVE the closing segment on Coach Beam. @RoaringRiot got a visual on the t-shirt during a dance-off.   I liked that it really helped bookend that first 15min segment where they really torn into the OBJ/Norman issue and shows the side of the Panthers that WE all know is, like, 99% of the time.
  • Surprised they took Ron's midfield apology in a totally different way than we all did here.  They were like, "yeah, Ron - you should apologize", with no mention of Tom's lack of apology.  Ron showed that HE was the stand-up, better person.  Showed the team what you're supposed to do - act like the man you want the team to be.
  • The edit of the helmet hit followed by Tom's commentary on the sideline should be an indicator that he DID know what happened at the time. That he didn't choose to take action right then is telling.
  • Super surprised that they were practically defending OBJ's actions on the post-clip commentary. Definitely said that OBJ should have been suspended, but they then went into a "but the Panthers' comments made him do it. It's a man's game, blah blah blah."   In other words, all the same crap we've hashed over here and had better conclusions on.

All in all?  The NFL clip was pretty good. The post-clip commentary was interesting, if not a bit misguided. And Coach Beam remains the heart of the team -- too bad that his segment had to be included on an episode with such a dirty undertow on it.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
