What would be your conversation starter in a lunch with Ron Rivera

Ron Rivera is coming to Wilmington April 4th to highlight a charity luncheon.  Head table is $5000 so tickets would be $625 each (goes to charity).   Regular tables are $1000 each so $100-$125 each.

Would you write a $625 check to charity to share a table with coach?  What would be your conversation starter?  And let me know if you are seriously interested.  I know I am at least sponsoring one regular table so have 9 tickets to sell.  

I'm tempted to splurge $625 but have to find seven local crazies first and I have to do it quickly.  This could turn into the ILM version of the panther-owner bidding war.....

I'd thank him for two of our most enjoyable seasons in our history in 2013 and 2015, say that I'm glad he's our team's coach, and he seems to be a very respectable man. Then I'd ask him about three things, though he probably would be able to or want to discuss them...

One, the Hardy situation and how that played out (as it would offer a very inciteful look into not only our team operations but also league operations). What was his take and did it change (Hardy played 1 game then was exempt listed)? What was DG's and JR's take? And who made the exempt list none sense happen? And then how did his FA after the year go about--reports were he and several of our leaders wanted him back? Did JR squash it, or DG or was Rivera actually not for it? I think all of it would be extremely interesting to learn about, no matter what one thinks of Hardy.

Two, DG's firing. Does he know what happened? What did JR tell him? What exactly was Rivera's relationship with DG like? 

Three, if he had to pick one, fully his decision, both would be paid the same, only goal is winning, who would he pick to GM, Hurney or DG?

 

Outside of that I'd probably just talk about random non-football stuff, golf, military, etc. Rivera seems like a guy who could maintain an interesting conversation about a lot of different subjects.

You put way too much effort into a hypothetical post

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
