Now that we all agree Raleigh>Charlotte lets get back to the actual topic...

I drove to work today down 29 / Tryon Street and let me tell you…it is flat out slums.  I lived here in the 80s and Charlotte was a small up and up and coming city.  Charlotte is a big city now.  The poverty and slums all over the place are disturbing.  Charlotte is not a nice place

Charlotte’s problem is that it is overrun by the brewery scene. It’s just become a drinkers town. And the traffic is absolutely horrid now. Uptown is mostly lame and inaccessible despite it being beautiful. 
 

Noda/Plaza/ and Southend are cool though. The Knights games are awesome though and nothing beats a home Panthers game when the stakes are high.

Seriously those places you mentioned are surrounded by incredible crime.  IMO Charlotte is not much different than a Chicago.  Everything smells terrible and there is filth and garbage everywhere.  I can’t imagine anyone really wanting to move their family here.  Me and the wife are planning a beach move asap

As I drove to work today there was someone with a help me sign on every single corner.

Watching the whole Panthers staff walk up to him and look at him with amazement is like bettors looking at a stallion at the Kentucky derby. "My what a fine specimen!" 

Honestly, the entire draft process has this vibe and always has. I try to push it to the back of my mind.

Raleigh is the second fastest growing metropolitan area in the entire country.

At one time Charlotte was one of the fastest growing cities in the country.  What you hate about Charlotte will happen to Raleigh,a biggish city with no identity.  Like how no one is from Charlotte, no one will be from Raleigh as well.

MCCown is the only person I trust evaluating QBs to be honest and that’s not really saying anything. I have no idea if he will be a good evaluator but that unknown beats what we do know -

Tepper and Rhule’s GM both inept/little to zero experience, Reich has made god awful QB evaluations based on religion…

Hell I even trust Morgan more than any of them. I hope Brown has some say as well.

People who hate on those cities aren’t too aware of what other cities are like. Those with history/culture/character also have a lot of issues that come with that diversity such as engrained disparity. Lots of raff. Some don’t want to deal with that. As I get older and have lived just about in every mid to large city, both Raleigh and Charlotte are fantastic, above average cities to settle down for those over the age of 30.

I can't believe you have to look at poor people. It must be so difficult. Hang in there

Having lived in a third world country, I can tell you that you have never seen slums before.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Witnessing and FEELING the NFL bend us over and grab our ankles in Super Bowl 50 in real-time…  that was the turning point for me.  I have not viewed the NFL, or pro sports for that matter, the same, ever since.  Look at the NBA.  You’re talking about astronomical odds for the #1 pick on the teams in the back-end of it.  The Mavericks mysteriously and inexplicably out of nowhere trade their franchise players - one of the biggest stars in the league, and an international superstar…  and of all places, to the LA Lakers, with LeBron.  They get back an oft-injured Anthony Davis.  Their team, including Davis, end up getting injured to the point they barely have enough healthy players to play games as the year goes on.  Their GM takes a ton of heat and never really offers a reasonable, not plausible explanation as to why they did the trade in the first place.  He also states that they never took any calls from any other teams, they never fielded any other offers for Luka, and they didn’t even take the offer elsewhere to see what other teams offered.  Absolutely no due diligence.  Now ask yourself, why would a team do that?  Not just in sports, why would any business do such a thing?  Not maximizing your return?  Not doing due diligence?  Fast forward a couple months…  the GM has been lambasted, ridiculed, and belittled the entire time since.  The lottery comes around, and the Mavs, who were just in the NBA Finals the year before, barely miss the playoffs due to all of their injuries.  Davis, Kyrie Irving, etc., all their best players were injured.  They had the smallest mathematical chance at getting the #1 pick.  Guess who got the #1 pick? The Mavericks.  So this plays out like the NBA asked the Mavs to do them a solid.  One of their blue-blood, prestigious, big market franchises needed a bump with LeBron getting older.  LA throws together a garbage package, sending them an aging star and some garbage picks for one of the biggest stars and historically one of the most incredible offensive players in NBA history, and the NBA ensures the Mavs will beat powerball odds and get the #1 pick, when it just so happens that Cooper Flagg, projected to be a generational talent, is coming out in the draft.  You scratch our back, we’ll scratch yours. Also, who got the #2 pick?  The Spurs.  A year after obtaining the #1 pick to acquire another touted generational talent in Wembanyama, after a 20+ year run as one of the most successful NBA dynasties in history.  They suddenly have their first bad year, get the #1 pick ahead of us, the Hornets (after wallowing in mediocrity for decades), and get Wemby, and now get the #2 pick the following year.     There was talk here earlier in the offseason about things lining up for us to go to the Super Bowl this year, and at the time, I half jokingly said I could see it, as the patsy for Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson’s redemption arc.  Again, after all of the poo that happened in Super Bowl 50, then watching the refs stand by idly over the next two years while week after week our opponents took cheap shot after illegal cheap shot on our once-in-a-lifetime talent in Cam Newton…  that poo took a lot of the heart out of it for me.  I’ve said for years, if big money involved, corruption is inherent.  There’s no way around it.  I’ve accepted that every professional sport is influenced by the money.  And storylines bring big money.  It has become purely entertainment with a small pinch of competition.  At least the WWE tells you exactly what they are, and thus, you can enjoy it for what it is.  The NFL and NBA specifically, specialize in crushing the hearts of fans who believe it’s still real and untainted.  fug Goodell and Silver.

      When you factor in Fox and Jake (love ya Jake but lets be real) Smitty deserves credit beyond the stats.   I know I said CMCs inclusion was all ifs and promises   That not withstanding Smith is top 4 in yards among his peers (2000-2014) Top 5 in receptions in that same time frame Only triple crown winner Didnt have Young, Romo, Warner, Manning, Brady slinging him the ball   Dunno if he is top 3 in the last 25 years cause some guys have put up stats since his prime - but Smith is very underrated for a dude in a run first offense with a less than HOF QB
