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

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
