I don't mean this to come off wrong, but I'm honestly not educated on this kind of stuff and I'm curious, but...

Is this a good or a bad sign?

Is it good that he's on the list or is it bad in the sense that it means the situation is more urgent and dire for the little guy now and that's the only reason he was just put on the list?

Or maybe it's a bit of both?  

Either way, my thoughts and prayers are with the Olsen family, nothing but an absolute class act from day 1 and will forever be among the all time great Panthers.

Keep Pounding TJ!

From my understanding, getting on the transplant list and transplant priority take into account various factors. Surgery is always the last option since so many complications may arise, but obviously in TJs case it’s the only option.

If he gets the procedure , if he’s lucky it will extend his life another 10ish years. And that’s optimistic

I believe you are significantly underestimating the "extend" time...

Ever heard of Eric Compton?

He got his 1st heart transplant (1992) at age-12 and that one lasted him 16 years...

...he got his 2nd one in 2008 and is still motoring on with that one (29yrs elapsed on 2 hearts, FYI)...

...in case you are unaware, he's in 9th place today at the PGA Tour event in Fort Worth, TX...

...1-back of Sergio Garcia and 9-ahead of  Phil Mickelson!

Hell, The Big Cat is 12+ years into his new heart and he was an elderly and in poor physical condition candidate when he received the transplant...

...TJ Olsen has every chance for a bright future, especially given the connections his family has.

 

Good luck young fella...

Our daughter died when she was 11 months old and her heart went to a boy about her same age in Kentucky. 18 years later we get cards at every one of his birthdays. I will tell you from very close personal experience that in many cases transplants go well and last a long time.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By strato · Posted

      I am gonna believe it wasn’t us if the 4th round pick price is accurate. We needed 225 points to get from 19 to their pick. 875 at 19 to 1100 at 14.  Our 2026 4th was valued at 56 points I think. A future 4th has less value. So that wasn’t close to enough.    It would have taken our third and our fourth. Comes within a point of even.    Now, moving to their spot in the second round we could have done but after Miami took Rodriguez why would we?

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By Zaximus · Posted

      I mean it's expected.  This is the NBA.  And they hate the Charlotte Hornets.  Flagg was also the guy "magically" given to the Mavs who lost Luca to the wildly popular Lakers.  Was always an uphill battle.  But the award is BS since it's not voted on before play-in starts. Kon probably lost because of the play-in as many people switched votes.  It was a regular season award, so this is some nonsense.  Kon also didn't have the luxury of taking 10 games off to rest up injuries like Flagg did.  If he did, he wouldn't have been nursing his back the last month.  I mean, screw him for being on an actual playoff team that matters.  Flagg took tons of shots a game, he was wildly inefficient.  Kon was a huge reason the Hornets made the play-in and turned the season around after Jan.   I think Flagg will probably be the better player long term, or at least the most impact.  But Kon should have won ROTY.
