It's the first Sunday with no NFL action in several months. Sadly, not the first weekend with no Panthers football, but truth be told we've all been used to that ending early for a while now (at least since 2016).

I'm always curious how dedicated football people  feel and what they do each year when this comes around.

I've seen some bits and pieces about the Tarheels from last night but I don't actually know what happened.

They lost at home to Duke in overtime in a game they sholdn't have won but had no business losing after taking the lead at 4-3 and not being even tied again til the end of regulation, leading almost the entire game by about 10 points. Basically they flat out out played Duke for the vast majority of the game until the very end and Tre Jones put Duke on his back, which is a weird statement to type. I've seen a ton of Duke UNC games over the years and that was one of the weirdest.

Rock Star's portal is down for some reason this morning so no Red Dead Redemption 2 for me. Guess I'll have to actually do some housework or take a walk.

Or play Metal Gear Solid.

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?
