I remember as a kid I used to deliver newspapers.  We had a morning paper AND an evening paper.  Its weird thinking back on, and something that's going to blow my daughters mind when I tell her.  But first I'm gonna have to explain to her what a newspaper is.

For the first time, the Charlotte Observer will not have a Saturday printed edition today. Internet is killing them. I'm old, love to read a newspaper

I always liked getting the paper especially on Sunday. Big cup of coffee and some toast and just crawl into the news. Stuart with the funnies, comb through sports, classifieds, arts section. 

Dropped it five years ago as it just wasn't getting read.

McClatchy owns the CO and also the Raleigh News and Observer. You know what is also killing newspapers? Read up on any of the biased, anti UNC conspiracy peddling witch hunt that the garbage N&O has spewed out about UNC the past 10 years. People have too many options now and won’t waste their time reading crap.

I don't get how newspapers and magazines are still in business. Books, that's fine. They should always be around.

In 2011 my company did a large expansion onto a newspaper building.  When they came to us with plans to expand we were like "WTF?"

I don't get it either.  At this point I have to assume that both magazine and newspapers are living off of commercial customers who put them out for their guests.

Actually a good idea. But, be careful when flushing, it doesn't break down like TP.

Yeah, it would only be used as a last resort.  I am really not thrilled with wiping my behind with inked up paper.  :)

In truth, we are in decent shape.  My wife always buys in bulk, and she had just finished a shopping run, so we are good for a couple of months.  And I actually found some on the food lion shelves today and bought it for my mom.  I have a feeling that within a couple of weeks, the shortage will ease as people realize we aren't going to run out.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
