Don't run on the field in Philly.....

I got no problem with it. Personally, my fave was at the Panthers/SF game in Death Valley Clemson (yeah, that long ago) when a fan ran out from the endzone. A guard/cop in pursuit actually dive tackled his knees from behind causing him to slam down head first on the field. The crowd went nuts and i bet his face had some damage. I loved it.

The whole thing is a clusterfug from a liability standpoint.

So you tackle the guy and he slams his head on the ground and gets a subdural and dies.

You taze the douche and he has a grabber and dies.

Instant dbag turned "victim of excessive force" nonsense.

Dunno, but one of these days, somebody is gonna do something very, very bad. Worse than what happened to Gamboa or the tennis gal that got knifed, some kind of real "statement" of perhaps a geopolitical nature and then we have a serious poopstorm.

Not sure what the answer is, since I doubt tazing will deter any of these guys.

We may see the day where our view of sporting events is obstructed almost like hockey plexiglass to prevent anybody getting out there. We all suffer the stupidity of just a few.

I think umpires should start carrying tasers. If a batter is caught looking at strike 3 then instead of calling him out, the ump should just tase him. TV ratings would improved dramatically.

2nd basemen or SS should carry and blast whomever tries to break-up a DP....or just blast A-Rod whenever they please

Definitely excessive use of force there. He's a 17 year old kid acting the fool. He's not a dangerous criminal threatening someone. Running onto the field during a public sporting event does not deserve being electrocuted.

Law enforcement is cleared to use a Taser in ANY circumstance where a subject is poised to ACTIVELY resist a direct order... This includes, but is not limited to, running onto a ball field, where security does not know your intentions, and acting afool... The officer, regardless of public perception, was 100% within his SOP for doing this... He will be covered, and cleared, from any legal liability...

And I assure you, as someone who has rode the lightning, it WILL BE the 'once in a lifetime experience' this young man was looking for...

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
