Human tragedy and what it does to me

I see their faces on the TV screen and I stay as detached as I can. The unbelievable anguish that must be going through their minds. The loss. The stomach punch of everything they have worked for and ever hoped for being gone just like that. Those poor, devastated people. I am of course talking about Packers fans.

you know, im not too sappy, and am pretty numb to all the bad poo in the world, that being said:

Havent seen much at all about the Haiti earthquake, but flipped it on CNN last night and they showed this 11 year old girl pinned under debris. Her legs and lower body were pinned and she was able to talk and take on water and such...

they said they were finally able to free her, but that she died soon after.

that really was horrible.

I read that story this morning after I posted this. She said "Mother, please don't let me die" right before they lost her.

In the Spartanburg paper this morning there was a man who had been to Haiti on a humanitarian mission a few years ago who said he would not go back this time because he had guns pointed at him last time. I wish our army had permission to fire away at those thugs this time. Last night Sanjay Gupta was the only doctor who stayed at one of the hospitals...the rest cleared out because the Red Cross told them it wasn't safe to stay there.

      Time to Sign David Njoku

      By strato · Posted

      damn I wish somebody would sign him. This has been going on for weeks.    I think if the team wanted to sign him we probably would have heard something about interest on our part.    Or any TE. It looks like they have set that room. And we have taken guys two years running, a guy like this would be blocking them. We need to see if they have it or not. And we should see if Tremble is gonna ever do anything.      In general, with the TEs

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Dude, there aren’t rose colored glasses big enough for you to call this “not a bad draft.” BC was not a good pick. He was taken with the 6th pick in round 3 and he’s been a backup OL. Tremble also wasn’t a win. Another 3rd rounder who’s easily replaced. Only reason either of them started games is because of injuries or a lack of a better starter. Chuba’s got heart but he’s had one solid year behind a solid run blocking unit. Other than that he’s underwhelmed and like we saw with Dowdle and Foreman, it’s not hard to find cheap pickups who perform as well. Horn has been a good starter but honestly that draft had so many solid starters we could have taken. With as many picks as we had, him and Chuba is absolutely a bad draft. We needed OL and BC and Brown was a terrible effort. You clearly didn’t watch the Senior Bowl if you thought Brown had a chance in the NFL. The huddle draft folks wanted Humphrey and Smith and instead we got crap and Mahomes was the winner.
