Sir Purr and at least two Top Cats appeared at ESPN's coverage of the Slippery Stairs championship in Rock Hill.

Also in Rock Hill - the freestyle pogo-stick competition POGOPALOOZAAnd now, reading the Yahoo news article -- it sounds like Rock Hill had a ton more exposure on The Ocho than just the two events I skimmed through. Everything from Cornhole to All-Star Air Guitar.

Rock Hill leaders say they want to give these sports a permanent home in South Carolina.

“Now, we’re talking to all of them about bringing their world championships to Rock Hill in the future,” Sexton said.

The event even drew famous attendees, with celebrities like Flava Flav and several cast members from Jersey Shore making an appearance.

 

Imagine how big these'd be if they were hosted at the Panthers facility.

Old enough to remember when the majority of ESPN was stuff like this...

The CORGI RACES were fantastic.   But they were in Seattle, not Rock Hill.

Was curious how Rock Hill got onto ESPN's radar to host these things at all -- but would be super-curious if any of it was related to the financing debacle.

Did any of these events get promotional support locally?  The crowds looked rather sparse.

Don't know. I'm not in Rock Hill anymore.

I think Panthers camp should be held at App State, out of the heat, but that's just my opinion. The Cowboys do this in California and it's not an issue. If anything, it allows you to be more productive because you're not contending with the heat. At this point, you're not forging players in the proverbial heat of middle South Carolina.

As for teams facilities, Rock Hill is fine but wouldn't you want your weekly offices as close to your stadium as possible? Players live in Charlotte right now and if they move to SC their going to be paying taxes to two states I believe. Then you have the commute to contend with for those who purchase homes in and around Charlotte. 

Just overall a lack of consideration for players and their families by moving facilities to South Carolina, especially as the influx of Yankees and California's continues.

Players already have to pay taxes to multiple states, as each state can tax the players for playing in the local stadium.

New York and California are notorious for this.  Unsure if SC would follow NY's stance of "if you work in the state, you pay taxes to the state", even if you live in (let's say) Pennsylvania.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
