This article from the Athletic, written by the Washington writer,  talks about the Riveras relationship with Charlotte, their tremendous charity work, the things..and often very thoughtful things that he did for people.  Ron and Stephanie are very good people.

One of the most touching moments for Moore[Humane Society] was the day the shelter received a donation from Washington Football Team owner Dan Snyder.

“It showed how much our organization meant to them,” she said. “This was after they went to Washington. Dan Snyder actually made a donation to our capital campaign because of how much Ron loved this organization.”

“I’m like, ‘What? OK, this is amazing!’ But yeah, who does that?” Stucker said. “They just knew how important his community work was to him that they wanted to support him even on his transition, you know? And it was — that was just the coolest.”

The Riveras, Stucker said, left the Charlotte area better than they found it, and their impact is still felt in the community. For instance, the relationship the Riveras built between the Panthers and the Humane Society continues, and it all started with an introduction Stephanie made between the organization and Tepper’s wife, Nicole.

“We are receiving gifts from them, and I’m able to email Nicole and ask her for some help with certain things,” Stucker said. “And she responds and they support us. I think we would never have that opportunity if it wasn’t for Stephanie. Stephanie brought her to the shelter, wanted to give her a tour, wanted her to see what was so meaningful to her and Ron and to share that. It’s almost like she planted the seed for the next generation that was coming behind her.”

I think every time the Huddle critiques or complains about a Panthers player, coach, etc, we're talking about them in their role not as a human being. As much as we bash Sam Darnold, we bash him as a player and not as a person, I've never met the guy, but I've seen him suck at QB. 

Lol this.

A lot of people here can't separate the player from the person.

You'd hope he'll get a good ovation from the crowd on Sunday before the game if they announce him, which I'd hope they will out of respect for his dedication to the team and community over the years.  Solid man and role model who clearly impacted many lives on and off the field.

      89 on The Pivot

      Glass houses and all. I find the people who are the most adamant about this type of thing tend to have the most to hide. Careful buddy.

      89 on The Pivot

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Also, wanted to point out, all 3 of the Pivot guys I respect and appreciate tremendously.  I know RC only had 1 pro bowl, but I loved his game.  He was tough as nails and played with a ton of heart and grit.  He was trying to knock people out, but was also super cerebral.  Fred is obviously a hall of famer and just as tough. Channing made the most of what he had and was hard-nosed as well.  And yet, all three of them let Steve slide on a ton of poo in this interview.  They actually cowered in several moments and I don’t like that at all.  Because for all the things I mentioned in my initial post in this thread, them not trying to reel him back in or hold his feet to the fire on certain bullshit, and feels gross.  Yall were all on the same competitive level as athletes, and yet, yall just let him skate on poo like talking about invoking using a gun on someone, laughing off how he essentially ended two teammates’ careers by BULLYING them and then co-signing it, and letting him completely sidestep accountability about his affair.  I get it, because apparently he invited you to his home to do the interview, but either talk some real poo or don’t do the interview at all.  This was some real softball poo.

      This season’s leader, Daniel Jones, is averaging 265.9 yards per game, that would rank 12th in 2015. Even going back to 2020, he would rank 10th in passing yards. So it does appear that passing yards is down, but is that because they aren’t as good? Possibly, but we were spoilt in recent years when we had Brady, Peyton, Brees, Rodgers, Roethlisberger, Rivers, Ryan, Stafford (etc). As crops of QBs go, it was an amazing era to watch and most will end up in the Hall of Fame. I’m not convinced you we could list as many potential Hall of Fame QBs from the current crop. Will it go pass heavy again? I think there’s a good chance that it will, but it will require QBs that can consistently air the ball out in the frequency we saw in the 00s and 10s. I think currently coaches are favouring a more balanced approach, if not favouring a strong running game.
