Wife had to work today, and is working very early tomorrow, so we aren't doing much.  Probably takeout from the Local Italian place.  But I am off tomorrow, so the highlight of the weekend will be going to see two of my oldest friend tomorrow for a liquid lunch.  Haven't seen them since the pandemic started.

That will make the weekend worth it.  If nothing else, the last 15 months have taught people time is precious. 

I had to run to the store earlier, and I saw two gentlemen talking.  One was up in years, the other my age or maybe a bit older.  I ran into the younger one as we were checking out.  He said the guy he was talking to was the teacher who tried to teach him math 49 years earlier.  He recognized him by his walk.

I told him if I ran into the teacher who tried to teach me math 49 years ago, she would probably sit me in the corner!

The ribs have hit halftime.  From here, they get drenched in apple cider vinegar, wrapped in foil, and go back in the smoker for two more hours.  Then the get unwrapped, sauced, and smoked for another hour.

3-2-1. I would encourage you to look into the 3-1-1.

I might try that on ribs that have more fat on them.  The wild boar ribs were so lean they probably needed most if not all of the 2 hour steaming period.  That made them fall-of-the-bone tender, and in fact one of the bones slid out when I was putting them back in the smoker for the sauce.

I wound up using pecan wood.  I had reservations about using apple cider vinegar to baste them, but it worked well and my wife like the taste a lot.

I might say I would do the wild boar ribs again, but I have to as I have two more slabs in the freezer.  The other catch is smoking ribs this time of year is a rite of passage around here.

Meanwhile, after halftime of this project we basted ourselves with some Gunpowder gin and tonic.

15 YEARS AGO, TWO FORUMS MET UP AND PLAYED FOOTBALL AT TTAINING CAMP. BRING THAT BACK

15 years ago MGP distilled a rye whiskey that was sold to Whistlepig, who finished that rye on casks made from oak trees grown on their Vermont estate. This whiskey would become Whistlepig 15.

Today, after somewhere more than halfway through that bottle, you made an all caps, misspelled post of moderate coherence.

I salute you, sir.

    • Linked here (Panthers Mailbag) and as always, subscription required. FYI: There were a few other answers (re: Dowdle, Mays) quoted in Juan's thread. I won't bother reposting them here. Just click on over here if you wanna look. (formatting / editing is my own, highlighting some things that the board has been talking about) ______________________________ Starting with the big one, what's gonna happen with Bryce: To be sure, it’s been a choppy season for the third-year quarterback. Every time you start thinking Young lacks the arm strength/size/fill-in-other-attribute to be the “guy,” as Dave Canales referred to him after Week 18 last season, he pulls off a Cam Newton-like performance (complete with a dab in Atlanta). ...while the Panthers would like to see more consistency, Young has continued to ascend, as Tilis put it. After ranking at or near the bottom statistically among QBs his first two seasons, Young is now closer to the middle of the pack. Just as importantly, with four games left, Young has already surpassed his win total (6) from his first two seasons. Then there’s the clutch factor: Five of Young’s seven victories have come on game-winning drives, and last week he surpassed Josh Allen as the youngest QB in NFL history (at 24 years and 128 days) with 11 game-winning drives. The decision to pick up Young’s fifth-year option before the May 1 deadline — at an estimated $26.5 million, per Over the Cap — is an easy one, considering the top 11, highest-paid QBs all are more than $50 million a year. The question is whether the Panthers want to make Young the next member of that $50M club, and if so, when? Canales, Dan Morgan and Tilis will weigh more than just the next four games, even if Young plays well and the Panthers end their seven-year playoff drought, when considering an extension. Young and the Panthers have taken another step forward this season. If that ascension continues in 2026, his payday is coming. ______________________________ Another questioner asked Person to describe current locker room culture: Like a lot of coaches in a new spot, Canales tried to bring in good “culture” guys to help him establish a standard of what’s expected in terms of effort and attitude. It helped that several were already here. Not coincidentally, three of them have been signed to extensions since Canales and Morgan arrived in January of last year: Derrick Brown, Horn and Hubbard. Horn’s growth as a leader and his recommitment to offseason training to try to avoid injuries have been striking. And Canales deserves credit for maintaining his energy and positivity despite slow starts in each of his two seasons. ... So are the Panthers winning because they have a good locker room or is the healthy locker room a product of the winning? It’s probably a combination. But moving on from veterans who were either bad teammates (Diontae Johnson) or who weren’t the right fit for a rebuild (Jadeveon Clowney) was beneficial. ______________________________ Next, whether the weaknesses in the Panthers pass rush a scheme issue or a talent issue: Per Pro Football Focus, the Panthers have been the NFL’s worst pressure team since 2023, when Evero arrived in Charlotte. Over that same span, the Panthers have the NFL’s seventh-highest blitz percentage. So it hasn’t been for a lack of trying. That would suggest personnel has played a part. Evero hasn’t had much to work with since 2023, when Brian Burns and Frankie Luvu combined for 13.5 sacks. ... Morgan hasn’t spent big on a free-agent pass rusher since trading Burns to the Giants in 2024. He brought in D.J Wonnum, K’Lavon Chaisson and Clowney last year, before adding Patrick Jones this past offseason. Wonnum, who had four sacks in eight games last season, has none in 12 games this year. Jones recorded one sack in four games before undergoing a season-ending back surgery in October. The Panthers drafted a pair of second-day, SEC edge rushers this year in Nic Scourton and Princely Umanmielen. Evero needs more. The list of free-agent pass rushers isn’t deep, but it is headlined by Trey Hendrickson and Jaelan Phillips. At a minimum, Morgan should take a long look. ______________________________ One other tidbit: Person sees "no chance" of Canales giving up playcalling duties.
