It was inevitable that Ron & Dave's mustache pictures would come together in an explosion of mustachioed epicness...

After finding the video of Ron as a high-school QB and seeing that mustache, there was no choice but to combine that with Dave Gettleman's high-school yearbook picture that's been floating around. Unfortunately, I don't have a new-fangled picture editing program or copious amounts of free time...

... but I do have Office 2007 and a vision, and I'll be damned if Ron, Dave, and our Carolina Panthers haven't shown us firsthand that a man with a vision won't hesitate to use tools and approaches that may be a little older, a little cheaper, and/or a little less conventional to keep pounding and achieve greatness. As such, here is my low-tech salute to Ron & Dave's journey from masterfully-manscaped neophytes to the men carrying the biggest bats in the NFL.

For anyone who hasn't seen the video yet, it is a must-watch and can be found here: http://www.carolinahuddle.com/boards/topic/122944-story-from-riveras-high-school-days-with-video-of-him-playing-qb/)

Nice work.

That footage of Rivera playing quarterback goes so far back, it looks like it was being watched on a vintage potato instead of a television.

Thanks, and I'm sure others can blow me out of the water. Something fun for a Saturday morning though.

Re: the video, looks like somebody recorded a rather old TV with a camera. Formula for quality if there ever was one.

Re:the video, looks to me like somebody may have recorded the TV with a camera.

    • The reset worked with proton.me.. wouldn’t work with my Gmail, Yahoo or Verizon email accounts 
    • Wish they started at 5:30 or 6 at the latest so I can watch it. I have to be in bed by start time.
    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.
