No.

 

Isn't this one of those threads where some guy says they want <insert obscure nu-metal band> or <insert indie hip hop group> to play half time?

Yes.

The bands pay for the right to play by covering all of the expenses, which has been running about $10 million each time for the past few years. Technically, Pepsi pays the NFL for the halftime show and then the artists and their recording companies pay the expenses and fees to Pepsi.

Sorry for trying to oversimplify it there.

Half time show and all the fanfare before it is what annoys me about the superbowl. Since everyone and their momma is a football fan on superbowl day, the NFL and the media will pander to that crowd. It's a long day for people like me, so I hardly watch the whole game. The last superbowl I watched from start to finish that didn't have the panthers was probably Rams Patriots. I was at a party, so I watched the whole thing. Most memorable was Pats - Falcons. I saw the 28-3 on my phone and I was pissed. I periodically came back to it. Then see 9-28, 12-28 ... then 28-28 ... and I sprinted to the nearest bar. That was glorious

Ok, yes ... that. But no to a bidding war just to get to be the performer.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
