You can't break the mold. The format is what it is. It's a condensed concert of snippets of hits. You play the game or you don't get the gig. It is what it is.

His song "Not Like Us" has 1 billion! spotify plays, the video has 230M views, Drake sued him over it (diss track) and he still played like 1 minute of it haha. The same thing happens to me when they put on some shitty country artist who they play in CVS every day and I'm like what was that poo, but Kendrick is a true artist. I get that it doesn't translate to the general public though, and the art is too obscure for the average watcher to comprehend

Love Kendrick but that's what I'm saying, it's just a bad format for him.

I doubt he feels that way. He doesn't even use social media so I dunno how any of this would affect him negatively. He won't lose any fans that he already has in the underground. Seems like the perfect anti-establishment performance for me

It makes a lot of people uncomfortable and amplifies real hip hop music to younger generations. Sounds like a win/win to me.

Not saying any of that. I'm just saying it's not a great format for him to display his talent. That's it, that's all.

I like Kendrick Lamar a lot but that wasn't great. Just not the right format for him. He's a real rapper and the SB halftime show is for popstars doing 30 seconds snippets of pop songs.

They should have let Lil Wayne have it.   It would have worked better.  Wayne has some almost pop-ish songs.   Huge catalog and colabs with others to pull from.  Could have given a nod to all the New Orleans rappers that brought him up and totally catered to us 40 year olds!   Hot Boyz, Juvenile, Big Trymers, Cash Money.

So yeah, priority has to be to get Bryce more weapons, of course, right?  

It’s all about defense. Always has been, always will be. I hope Tep is paying attention  tonight. 

 

I definitely think there is a propensity to overvalue offense and neglect defense, but Philadelphia is a really complete team. They have arguably the best offensive line in the NFL (detroit maybe the only other team with a case), #1 RB, top WR duo, top 10 TE and a pro bowl QB. Their defense is mostly made up of fantastic draft picks and bargain free agents. 

But to your general point, you can't be myopic. You have to build an entire team. I hope the Panthers front office didn't need to wait till the super bowl to figure that out. Having the worst defense in nfl history this past year should be enough motivation to start investing more in the defense.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
