Cam is my favorite all time Panther and I wish him nothing but the best in all of his media ventures but reality TV and sports talk /podcasts just ain't it for me. 

Honestly, it's a pretty good show, probably even more so for anyone with a military background.

The celebrities who take part tend to get their asses kicked.

Hell, I don't even have network television. LOL

I stream sports and that's my only exposure to network television

That was a good watch.

It's a fun show. Lady Cowboy Fan and I have been watching from the start.

This is, I think, their third season. They've had a lot of former athletes on from the NFL (Danny Amendola was on the last one) NBA and others, but they haven't won. The winners of the first two seasons included one women's soccer star (Carli Lloyd) and some reality show personalities, mostly from The Bachelor or The Bachelorette.

The physical challenges are certainly tough, especially on some of the older folks, but what tends to derail people is the mental side of it. Some can't keep their attitudes under control, others just tap out. Many are doing the show because they have demons to deal with, and you see a lot of that come out.

You definitely can't assume you know who will succeed and who won't either. Last year, Dez Bryant flamed out in spectacular fashion while Jojo Siwa actually went much further than I'd have thought. 

And as you might expect, you come away from it with a real appreciation for just how badass some of these special forces guys really are.

Re: Cam

As you could probably guess, his personality didn't initially mesh well with the no-nonsense special forces guys, but they respected his performance in the challenges and he's been a good "teammate" to some of the others on the show.

FYI: Also appearing this season is Golden Tate, who per his own words seems to be kind of lost in his post football life.

After completing a challenge, Newton went to give Tate a high-five and somehow inexplicably wound up punching him in the stomach 😳

That incident got him yelled at. The leaders further followed that up by punishing the entire crew with an exercise that I can best describe by saying...imagine waterboarding yourself.

      injury updates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      not sure if any of this is news, but a good summary of our situation heading into training camp.  It's sure gonna be good getting Derrick back. After missing virtually all of the 2024 season, Panthers defensive tackle Derrick Brown is aiming for a full return to the field during training camp later this summer, per Joseph Person of The Athletic. Brown tore his meniscus in Week 1 and underwent season-ending surgery that has kept him limited through spring practices, though he did participate in “walk-throughs and light side work” during mandatory minicamp, according to Person. Brown originally stated a desire to be ready for the 2025 regular season, but his timeline appears to have moved up. Brown’s injury was particularly disappointing after a career-best 2023 season. He led all defensive linemen with 103 total tackles and was named to his first Pro Bowl, earning him a four-year, $96MM extension from the Panthers in April 2024. While he has never been a prolific pass rusher, Brown’s size and power has consistently commanded double-teams and created opportunities for his teammates. His impact was evident last season, as Carolina’s run defense ranked dead-last in his absence. The Panthers spent significant resources this offseason on defensive line depth, which should allow them to manage Brown’s usage more carefully coming off a major injury. He played a whopping 940 defensive snaps in 2023 (89% of the team’s total) and was on the field for almost every play before his injury last year. With new teammates Tershawn Wharton, Bobby Brown III, and Cam Jackson ready to share the load, Derrick Brown can take a lower snap share to stay fresh and healthy for the entire season. Here are a few updates on other Panthers returning from injuries:     https://www.profootballrumors.com/2025/06/panthers-injury-updates-brown-tremble-barno-wallace

      Yeah it's kind of like they don't want him on the team anymore for some reason
