Character is what you do when no one is watching.

 

My parents neighbor's son just graduated from college and got married. He was flying to Europe on the honeymoon and had a flight dely/cancellation on a connecting flight. Riverboat was on the same flight and he introduced himself and did the selfie thing.

 

Right before they boarded Ron walked up and gave him a card in an envelope. He had walked to a gift shop, bought a card, signed it and put 2 $100 bills inside. The note said  congratulations, have a nice dinner on me and Keep Pounding. 

Pretty cool thing for Ron to do after a 5 minute conversation.

Where’s he going that 200 is going to cover dinner

Ireland. Guy doesn't drink so should be good.

My Dad had the selfie and a picture of the card but he is 88. It took him 20 minutes to find it in his phone so I didn't ask him to send it to me.

Cool story.  I like Ron in a lot of ways but really hope his coaching style changes this season.

Is what it is.

Ron Rivera is an average head coach.

Riverboat Ron is an above average HC. 

We get both each season.  Never know which dude will coach the most.

People don't know how good we have it with Rivera. He is a great person on top of a great coach. You can say it all you want but the W/L record speaks for itself. Bad coaching can sink a team and this team has never sunk. This team does not quit, look at the 15-1 season as an example of that. Lose their #1 WR and are tied/down in the 4th quarter almost every game and still pulled it out. This is a TEAM and Rivera is a huge part of it. He started out rough but has become one of the best in the NFL right now. Every coach has moments that don't pan out or some questionable decisions.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Basbear · Posted

      Brother re-check that guarantee...my page shows 30mill.....thats means he's staying in my book for at least til the end of 2026.  Im going to be my normal honest self, besides watching like half of the SB, I didn't know the guy. My guess is Panthers have a "planned model of paying players" and they almost had to spend a chunk of space on a DLman after Dbrown injury season gave them a nightmare out-come of worst D in NFL scoring. Once Milton got above Dbrown payments, they went with the plan B. A player whom the "co-GM" put his name with. Brad said turk would not be a problem off-field and leader, which the Panthers need badly. I dug in with the google-fu, I found out  I also found him playing lots of NT, which was shocking given the small frame. He seems ready for a bigger role and had a great SB too. IDK, I feel Dan Morgan was dead set on not going into this season without more DL depth and its there. The real deal is this, nearly all FA take one year to "adjust". I think turk is trying too hard and causing injuries as a result for his contract. Dbrown called turk "strong as hell" and I know for a fact Dbrowns has insane core and strength numbers. They lift together with the 50 LB difference...... you always lift with a guy who's similar in strength cause you can leave on the 8 wheels, let the other guy lift while you rest and go after him.  I do wish he had a better beginning to his panther career, 3 games for him to do so and it would cover up the low points if he made a few plays.... Again it felt like they almost had to make move/spend $$$ and Morgan was going to have DL depth this season no matter what...My best guess.

      If you can only fire ONE person before 2026....

      There's a reason DC wasn't getting calls to be a HC. He wasn't ready. His indecisiveness is infuriating. His lack of awareness is mystifying. He jumped at the chance to grab the David Tepper retirement plan and who can really blame him. Maybe with time he can grow into the job. But we're on year 8 of our 7 year rebuild. I think I'm gonna need a hip replacement before we get a decent HC.
