My Co-worker is about to need a meat wagon...

I'd add that anyone who thinks cocky football players are a new thing hasn't been watching long.

Remember a fellow they called Broadway Joe?

Fella by the name of Gale Sayers talking about needing just 18 inches of daylight sound familiar?

Super Bowl Shuffle anyone?

How about the old Cowboy teams?  Even in the Landry era, those guys weren't exactly the meek waiting to inherit the earth.

Professional athletes have always been cocky bastards.

True but I don’t think they were dripping sauce

And they've always had their detractors. Nothing new here. Cam isn't going to appeal to everyone, especially outside of the Panthers fan base.  Not sure why this surprises or upsets some people.

My coaches always taught me to be humble and a good sport.  i teach the same to the kids I coach.

That said, expecting grown men to behave like kids do (in a good way) isn't realistic, especially not when you're dealing with guys who have been coddled and catered to for most of their lives.

There's a fine line between confidence and arrogance.  very few professionals come down on the right side of it.

    • After some of the calls last year probably won't see much of a drop off 
    • https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48344034/nfl-begin-hiring-replacement-officials-given-state-negotiations-nfl-referees-association   Honestly fug these refs and their union. Resisting changes that would actually incentivize good performance and not seniority based systems. What a bunch of donkeys. Hope the replacements straight up take their jobs and never give them back. Sick of watching refs script games with no repercussions.
    • Donovan seems like highest risk to me. Lloyd and May have already established relationships with all these kids. There’s probably guys hitting the portal that they recruited from HS. And then there’s the possibility of transferring their own guys from their current teams. They’ve also been recruiting the HS kids for like the next 5 years already. Look at the Iowa coach who hit the ground running by transferring all his guys from his D2 program. Or going across sports to Cignetti transferring all his JMU guys year one then building off that to a national title year 2. Donovan is starting from square one having been in the NBA so long and he’s already 60. So you’re potentially punting year 1 for a guy you are just hoping to be a 10 year hire while you figure out how to actually develop your next home grown 20yr guy. That’s 1/10th of the time you have him, more or less at best. The hope would be that he would find some high level assistants who have been working the college recruiting trails already, but then are you giving up his ideal staff just to get a foothold in recruiting and transfers. Think Belichick year one was bad? Imagine how much worse it would be without Steve Belichicks transfer portal pulls. Hoping Mays or Lloyd are all they’re cracked up to be.
