Cam at Braves game

i'm gonna try to put myself in their shoes

like if a guy from charlotte went to say, virginia tech to play football.  they beat FSU, clemson, UNC, etc's asses on the way to a national title.  then the falcons took him first overall.  he's now extremely easy to hate because not only did he run roughshod over the college teams of a lot of panthers fans but he's now the starting quarterback for a division rival.

i mean seriously though, this guy is gonna be a bust.  poor character, embroiled in controversy all throughout his college career, never ran a pro system, bad attitude, blah blah.

then five years later after he's played in a super bowl, is a first team all pro, has been a multi-year pro bowler, and won league MVP, he makes an appearance at a charlotte knights game and the team tweets it.  i know i'd be extremely butthurt.

Braves are horrible this year though lol. Really wish th Carolinas had a MLB team. Would give me a reason to follow MLB more. 

15 million people in 2 baseball hotbed states, it's truly absurd.  Gotta have some political willpower and investors that see the goldmine, but it'll happen eventually.  Here's an article from days ago https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2016/04/21/mlbs-rob-manfred-says-as-rays-need-new-stadiums-before-any-expansion/

I hope it happens one day. Where I live (eastern nc) I don't even get braves games. I'm tech in the nats/Orioles market, but direct tv is the only carrier that carries masn. Time warner doesn't carry them because of demand or something so I don't even get a "local" team. I'm forced to follow the Durham Bulls through the minor league app.

    • Damn I liked A'Shawn too. This is basically a heads up we're planning on cutting you move.  Robinson wasn't the best but I loved his attitude and effort on the field. He held that entire dline together when Brown went down iirc..granted we finished that season as the worst rushing defense in modern NFL history.  If Wharton would have performed up to atleast half of his salary last season, I'd feel a little better about it. We do need that cap space though. 
    • 13. Carolina is coming. The Panthers are well thought of around the league. Their "process" seems sound. I think their off-season will be very interesting to keep an eye on. They made the playoffs, but they're not yet knocking on the door. (Offense was 26th in EPA/play.) I think it's imperative they don't overestimate where they are in their build. They can't throw a ton of money around in FA to "make a run now". They need to be intentional about building a solid foundation. (IMO) And from what I know about the team... I think they will be. Sidenote: I have my eye on offense there, not defense. They HAVE to leave next season with a strong opinion on Bryce Young. They need to put pieces around him to do that. Can't be left wondering what he would have looked like with "better OL play" or "more pass catchers". They have to know. (That part is purely my opinion. No one told me that.) https://x.com/lindsay_rhodes/status/2027212533417869499?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA
    • Because this DL is completely reliant on Brown being available and being a stud. Without him we were the worst D in history. The Wharton signing last year reeked of desperation. He just isn't a great fit for us schematically and I think we panicked a little bit when we missed out on Milton Williams who would have been a great fit.
