Sad News about a Fellow Huddler

Recommended Posts

It is with great sadness that I need to inform you all about the passing of Clifton Jacobs, also known as Electro. As some of you know, Clifton has been very ill for quite some time. On Friday, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The illness, along with other challenges he was facing, was just too much for him to cope with and sadly, he took his own life on Sunday.

He loved Panthers football and he loved this message board. Football brought him great joy and "passion". He loved all of you and enjoyed stirring the pot. In fact, he was "passionate" yesterday as he scolded me for saying I wanted the Saints to win!

His family requested I notify his Panther friends. The details of a service have not been made yet, but Crumpler Honeycutt Funeral Home in Clinton, NC will be handling the arrangements.

Please keep his family in your prayers. If you want more information, feel free to contact me via email at [email protected].

Thank you,

Leslie Thompson

I will miss him dearly. He is my life and I dont know how Im suppose to live without him. I love him with all my heart. I talked to him right before it all happened. This is so heartbreaking for me. We spent his last few hours just holding each other. This is the hardest thing I have to deal with. I am so lost.

    • TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive. 
    • I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.
    • Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
