I remember when I built a manufacturing facility, and the President of the company we were working for wanted to name the new road in front of the facility after his father.  The problem was twofold.  For one, while it was technically new road...it was an extension of existing road.  That would mean the city would need to change the name of the entire road.  That brought up the second problem.  The existing road was named after a black leader from the community, as a tribute.  The politics of changing the name to some old dead white guy would have been horrible.  So what we ended up doing was putting the start of the road out of alignment with the existing road, giving it a weird jog but allowing the city to declare it technically a different road and not an extension of the previous road.  Problem solved!

Who cares so much about road names. They could all be named peepee and poopoo for all I care

Oh trust me, you would care. I've spent enough time in Hickory to know that after your forty eleventh time trying to figure out if you're supposed to be on peepee street or peepee lane, or is it peepee avenue, you'd care. 

Maybe not til then, but still....

In regard to the family names in the rural areas, it's not so much families naming it after themselves, but literally that was the road that went to the Jones property so it was called Jones Road.  I saw a really old map of Rowan County from the mid to late 1800's and they had individual homesteads located on the county wide map. That's how few people there were in the county when they were naming roads, so it made since to name it after the family that was at the end of the road.

Keep Pounding Way is a great slogan for football but a terrible street name.

Tepper Way is cringeworthy in itself but given the football context, doesn't sound like a winner yet.

I think the picture of Teppers taste is becoming a little more clear.

      Predictions from Charlotte observer sports writers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?

      Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess.

      Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
