If it was not Myrtle Beach I would say this was fake....

My wife and I married in Oct 99. Just weeks before I was to deploy to Saudi Arabia for 6 months. So we decided to do the honeymoon thing after I came home. I booked everything from Saudi. Short stop in Baltimore (stayed with my brother a couple days), then an overnight in Charleston WVa, on to Nashville for 2 weeks, and then the last week at Myrtle Beach, SC.

When I booked the hotel, the owner made it VERY clear that we were requesting a room during "Bike Week". Hell, NO PROBLEM! The wife and I both ride. We like the same music. We both have our share of tattoos. We'd fit right in, right? Hmmm... WRONG.

As we're approaching Myrtle Beach, we see this HUGE orange (very light skinned black) ass in a thong hanging off the back of a crotch rocket. It wasn't until we were right next to the bike that we could see the driver, a very small and skinny black man. My wife's comment was "If this is bike week, shouldn't they be going the other direction?" I laughed, but she was right. Bike Week isn't exactly the place that black bikers want to hang out.

ANYWAY, it didn't take long for us to discover the real truth. This wasn't "Bike Week", that happened 2 weeks earlier. This was "Black Bike Week". So here we were, the only 2 white people in the entire hotel. Hell, we think we were the only 2 whites for a block in either direction! We were never, not one time, harrassed or threatened by anyone, don't get me wrong. Everyone we met was friendly and polite to us. We had a wonderful time during the day. But at night? Holy hell !! The MUSIC until 9am. Bass that would shake the entire hotel. Squealing tires and races on the main drag. Breaking bottles. Fights. More LOUD MUSIC. Screaming, shouting, yelling fightingfugingracingpolicesirensambulances STOP! And there was so much refer smoked outside the hotel we could smell it in our room which was away from the parking lot (not that THAT really bothered me much).

Well, we late at night from Nashville. Didn't sleep that night. Spent 2 more days there and left in the middle of the 3rd night. 3 days early with no refund. We drove for 50 miles and slept for 6 hours at a rest stop in our rental car.

The maid came in twice all week, and the second time she asked my wife for a beer. We locked our valuables in the car after that.

:lol:

Hey you folks out there are just plain spoiled. Here in the LA area, they charge extra for that kind of service. Besides, who wouldn't enjoy a beer during work?

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      It all sounds great. The only unknowns are injuries and how they will need to be addressed. Horn has a history as does the newly added Jaelen Phillips and Cooker has yet to play an entire season as well. And then there are the Ikey's - totally unexpecteded injuries that put a major wrench in your plans. I do think its a great plan though.

      If we pay Bryce like a franchise QB we're completely and utterly buttfuged.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      In my view, the realistic expectation for this team to compete will start 2027.  At that time, I think we could be looking at the following (this is HIGHLY speculative):   QB:  You know, Bryce.  I am not a fan, but they don't ask me.  But there is reason for hope--and here it is.  Bryce will be entering his prime.  Since we are likely to pay him, there will be changes that I include throughout this exercise--I realistically speculate on what they are going to do with Bryce and then I realistically speculate on what means in terms of the cap and other positions. Bryce HAS IMPROVED.  The idea is that if you give him more weapons and protection, that will continue.  His career:   At this rate, if his growth continues, by 2027 we should expect nearly 30 TDs and about 12 Interceptions and a Rating of about 98.  His completion percentage should settle at 65-66% or so.  If that happens, you can win with it. The following stats demonstrate how the Panthers will be able to afford it (and re-sign Ickey) My guess is they will require about $60m per year. This is why rookies who can play are important.  It also helps us see the blueprint.  You may disagree, but this is the cruel realities of the salary cap. Robert Hunt:  Cut post June 1 and save $19m.  Who do you replace him with?  Ickey. Tershawn Wharton:  Cutting him saves nearly $15m.  We should all hope to see Aaron Hall (UDFA) make the roster and play well.  Regardless, this is a position we would likely have to address in the next draft. Trevin Moehrig:  Cutting Moehrig as the starting SS saves this team $16.5m.   Ransom will be on year 3 of a cheap rookie deal and should be more than ready to take the reins.  their styles are similar.  Furthermore, FS Wheatley (R, 4th round) will be starting. Taylor Moton:  So much depends on his knee, but I have an idea that he can play another 3 years.  extending him could save the team about $5m per year.  Cutting him outright would save the team about $21m. In the most drastic situation, we have to cut Moton and the other three players mentioned.   We would need (in all likelihood) a starting DT and RT.  It is possible that the DE would be addressed, but Wharton's production (so far) could be equaled by a rookie.  Look for a cut free agent and a 2027 draft pick here.  If you cut Moton, you save $21m, and that would be the only big hole to fill.  Having Ickey at RG gives you some depth at T, and Ickey could be the guy.  T could be pick in the 2027 draft (first round), fwiw.  It saves you $21m while costing you $5m, for example. We get younger, creating a core of Freeling, Hecht, and the RT first rounder in 2027) along with Ekownu (second contract in the $15m range, and Lewis, whose contract would be in the $16m range if not extended.)  The OL cuts (Hunt, Moton) would save $40m.  The OL would get younger and still solid with veterans at G.   By cutting Wharton (no brainer if his play stays the same) and Moehrig (good player--but we have Ransom on a rookie contract who would not be that much of a drop off--if any) in addition to Hunt and Moton, we would save over $70m in cap room. We would be able to give Bryce bag  and we would have enough to re-sign Ickey (if the knee is not too risky) to a Guard contract (probably at a discount, coming off that injury).  Furthermore, we could add a RT in the draft (or a RG if Ickey moves to RT) and that would be the only large hole to fill. Correct my logic if you see issues-- On defense, in addition to the aforementioned, Scott ($2m contract) is out, replaced by a 4th round rookie contract. CB Jackson's contract ($7.8m) expires and he is (possibly) replaced by a rookie contract.  At Edge, patrick Jones II's $10m contract expires and he is likely a reserve, and his role is absorbed by Phillips, Scourton, Princely, and possible an UDFA like Isaiah Smith or a 2027 draft pick.   These productive developmental players over the past 2 drafts will pay huge dividends.  On paper, I see the team getting much younger and possibly better while cutting nearly $100m and reallocating that money to get more production.
