Most the NFL players that go on the show are retired. There have been a few active players though, including most recently Von Miller and Antonio Brown.

Miller didn't blow a knee, but he was constantly blowing gas out his backside during rehearsals.

Right but as we all know certain players are given certain lee-way while others are chastised and berated.

I couldn't care less about this show, and if Smitty is on it, I still won't watch. I think it is kinda lame, tbqh, and I will actually probably lose respect for him if he goes on there.

Sucker punched a teammate, put a young teammate in the hospital, was a dick to other young receivers....

...but you'll lose respect for him if he does ballroom dancing on a TV show?

 

 

Okay.

I think pretty much any active player who injured himself in a non-football activity like a TV show would probably draw a generous amount of ire and scorn.

And make no mistake, this isn't a high school dance. It's professional level; it's hard, grueling work and people do indeed get injured doing it. Heck, even the professional dancers who do it for a living get hurt from time to time.

Any active athlete who does this is definitely taking a chance.

Okay.

All of that was relatively early on in his career, and the "dick to other young receivers" is just speculation and opinion, as far as I know. I'd probably be a dick too if put in some of his situations.

He has paid his penance as far as I am concerned. Nobody is perfect and we all have stuff in our past that we regret.

Fine.

But that still doesn't explain what's so disrespectable about his going on this show.

I just feel like, as a show, it has outplayed its novelty. I guess I just don't see how a dancing competition can be interesting after a couple seasons, and for Smitty to be on it doesn't really do anything to change that for me.


To each their own, though. I'm sure lots of people don't watch half the junk I watch on TV either.

Well, for those few that were wondering....no Steve Smith or Peyton Manning. Just announced the cast on GMA.  The chosen NFL player this year is former Giant Rashard Jennings. Only other notable major sports guy is ex Cub David Ross.

I have never watched this really, but Rossy being on there may force me to, gah.

Mr. T, though? Seriously.

That has "train wreck" written all over it.

      If you could add one player from any team in the NFL to the 2025 Panthers to make them Super Bowl contenders, who would it be?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't disagree, but you're not giving our offense enough credit, and I'm not saying we would win the SB, just that we would be contenders, which we would have been. The Bengals had a horrible start to the season last year and it caused them to just miss the playoffs by one game, but had they made it, they absolutely would have been contenders in the AFC.  They had a bad defense, probably worse than ours will be this year, and you can't convince me that we don't have a better offensive roster than they had last year.   We have a Top 10 OL, two 1k rushers from last year, two 1st round WRs, one of the best slot WRs in the league, and then Coker.  Like I said, their Top 2 WRs are better than ours will be this year, but we take them in every other spot, OL, RBx2, and our 3rd/4th WRs.   If Burrow was able to turn that team into a contender last year, no reason he couldn't do the same with our roster this year.  And hell, I think our offensive roster is better than KC's last year too, and while I know their defense did a lot of the heavy lifting last year, if you give Mahomes an improved offensive roster around him, he's going to be THAT much better himself. A Mahomes, Burrow, or Allen would be able to win the South by outscoring teams.  And yes, come playoff time against an Eagles or Lions juggernaut, our defense probably costs us the game, but that doesn't mean we wouldn't at least be contenders. If Bryce can prove me wrong and his supporters here right, and be THAT guy for us this year, I genuinely think we can be a real playoff threat in 2026 once we add a few more pieces to the defense and then be a genuine SB contender in 2027 if the team keeps improving. We're the 2022 Detroit Lions right now.   Great offensive pieces, tons of holes on defense, but if things go right we'll just miss the playoffs (like they did) and then be right in the playoff hunt the next year (like they did) and then be contenders the following season (like they did when they were the #1 seed).

      Hornets have had the worst luck of any professional sports franchise this century. Constantly drafting a slot below the generational talent, all because of the lottery done behind closed doors. It's been brutal and frankly unfair to be a diehard fan of this franchise, and I don't blame anyone for cutting out the stress.

      We will see if there is any logic to those sort of packages. I haven't seen a ton of evidence that Evero operates that way.
