A Touch of Conveniently Timed Class from Rick Bonnell

Seems a bit petty and unnecessary...

Why share this?  I mean, i get that PJ isn't some upstanding citizen, and obviously, that starts somewhere, but this just seemed unprofessional on Rick's behalf.  And why not share it before PJ is traded?  You don't think he will ever be in NC again?  Lol.  You don't think his family still lives here?  Several tweeters started going at Bonnell for this and his retorts were childish and laughable ("well my journalist friends said i'm right, so nah nah nah boo boo" and "you guys always want me to share stories, then i do and you get mad at me.")  He just doesn't get it.  

Also, while reading up on stuff about the trade, i visited The Observer's Hornets page for the first time in at least over a year, and man, does Bonnell even work anymore?  There's hardly any coverage...  such a disappointment.  You hardly cover our team, you hardly write anything about them even if you do, and you have been on record numerous times basically saying you hate your job, but find time to quickly get this little anecdote out right after the subject has been traded out of town.  Good job, big man.

Also, i have to take this time to say, MAN, i was wrong about PJ.  I thought he had his hiccups, but also all the makings of a go-to scorer.  In all honesty, i'm convinced he was not putting in the work, and i think his production and personality point to that.  He wasn't even shooting like he did in the d-league, and i mean wide open threes.  To me, he always seemed a bit chunky and like he didn't have his legs here, which is obviously due to a lack of conditioning.  Maybe getting away from home is what he needs, but what a disappointment.  On the brightside, he was low-risk, low-cost experiment that didn't pan out.  And after seeing his lack of improvement and horrible shooting (which is inexcuseable for him) over the last two years, i'm glad the experiment is over.

Obviously it bothered him and he's been waiting to report this until PJ was gone. It's passive aggressive, but honestly it doesn't surprise me 

What's really sad is the fact that he considered her "intimidating him"- like common dude this is a tale as old as time- people are defensive about their kids- it's in our genetic code, no reason to try and slander her

      Fvck Bryce Young

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Idk man, I think it’s necessary.  There’s people working 9-5s everyday that get told poo about what they aren’t and what they’re not capable of and they’re working for scraps.  These guys are making millions.  People are watching and invested because their team and fandom is a part of their identity and a big source of pride.  When someone like Bryce comes in and is given chance after chance after chance after proving he is not worthy of the position he’s being gifted, and he continues to be the biggest reason above any that we are losing, yeah…  I think it’s fair to call a spade a spade.  Am I saying Bryce the person is trash?  Bryce the person is a piece of poo?  Absolutely not.     I came up in an era, especially in basketball, where if you were fuging up people heckled the poo out of you.  I played in rec leagues as a teen where the fuging parents were calling kids trash and yelling poo like “TURNOVER!!!  TURNOVER!!!”  “CANT DRIBBLE!”  “CANT SHOOT!”  And that’s adults screaming that poo to kids like we were in the fuging Rucker lol.🤣🤣🤣  I went on to play basketball at a collegiate level and with professional players in different settings.  What those experiences as a kid taught me was to see if there is any merit to what people are saying, and if there is, then work my ass off til they can’t say that anymore.  Come back better, tougher, harder.  And I did.  If kids can figure that poo out, an adult calling another adult who is bad at his job while making millions and millions of dollars will be just fine.

      I'm 43.... I've lived half my life if I am lucky... will we ever have another team that we will fall in love with?!?

      I have tried to like this team, lord knows I have tried. BY9 is a nice young man, if I had a daughter he can take her to prom, but he ain't QB1 and he's not Cam or Delhomme Chuba is a average RB, he isn't Stephen Davis, he isn't J-Stew McMillan has the makings of a good WR, but he isn't 89/Moose D. Brown is a great player, but if the game was on the line I want Kris Jenkins       I miss this brand of football, even in the bad Jake games the games were entertaining It has been nearly 8 years now of watching numb football

      I'm not so sure. Something about the whole Frank/Bryce situation seemed off from day 1. Bryce didn't fit Frank's QB mold as well as Stroud, then he basically gives up when Bryce is named starter in preseason but gets virtually no reps in games. Then he looks completely unprepared and Dalton steps in in Seattle, has a decent game under immense pressure, and it's right back to Bryce. All his mechanics are terrible and he's having the worst rookie season ever and Frank doesn't bench him?  You dont have to be a conspiracy theorist to know Bryce wasn't ready to be a day 1 starter. Everything with Bryce, then coaches, and the FO seemed forced.
