Went to "Panthers in the Park..."

Not a bad set-up, they had everything that was advertised plus $2 lemonade. A friend and I went, hoping to see if Clausen was there, or Stewart or Munnerlyn.

Turns out no rookies were able to go due to NFL rules, and both Stewart and Munnerlyn were there, along with Gross, Jarrett, Kalil, Kenny Moore, Rosario, Kasay, Schwartz, Cantwell, Bernadeau, Otah, Thomas Davis, Everette Brown, Hayden, Gamble, and a few other defensive standouts. Not over 30 players though.

We picked a line to wait in for a few minutes, and when the players came out, Stewart was slated for our line. I had an '08 NFC South title shirt I brought, and when I gave it to Stewart I asked him to make it out to me in my name. He asked my name politely, then added an extra "r", asked if that was right, I said there's only one "r," so he fixed it, wrote an arrow below it, inscribed "oopps!" (yes he misspelled that as well,) we laughed about it and News 14 Carolina got a shot of the both of us and the misspelled shirt.

One hell of a memory for sure.

I got back from ATL around 7 and got to get a few autographs from the Defense, before it ended. Mainly, TD, Everette Brown, and Chris Gamble. I caught Sherrod Martin before he got on the bus/van and told him that I thought he would be the leader in Interceptions this year. He said "What's your name?...I'll remember that."

was also able to get Kasay to sign a 8x10 of him and baker (that baker had already signed)

Yeah, it was fun for sure. We were gonna stand in line for Munnerlyn and Brown but considering how we were 4th and 5th in line for Stewart, being about 200th and standing in the sun wasn't very appealing.

I do want to point out that JJ Jansen hung out with kids there and tossed around with them for at least 20 minutes, just hanging out. Jarrett was also particularly approachable. Charlie Dayton and Mike Craft were also there but not in team clothes.

I was there too. Kasay signed my super bowl 38 helmet and I had the rest of the team sign my football. Jeff Schwartz saw my super bowl helmet and told me "we're going to get you a new one to add to your collection". Im gonna hold that to him now. LOL

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
