Ryan Mathews' WoW Character is a (max) level 80 female undead assassination rogue that does not mess around. Having played a rogue myself for three years, my heart went all kerfluffle when I saw he played one too. Rogues are the melee damage dealers in the group. They get up close and personal to bring the pain. His equipment shows he plays the highest level dungeons on the most difficult setting and spends serious time playing PvP. This is not a causal pastime for him (I was really suprised by this)! What does this mean? Well for one, he's much less likely to be scuffling with internet skanks or getting busted for DUI. This is because he's far more likely to spend his friday nights at home grinding for raid consumables or chasing that next achievement. On the other hand, there is a slight cause for concern about how he manages his time when he's off the clock. I'd be quite interested to find out if being a professional has cut into his gaming time. I need to get with John to see how impossible a WoW themed interview would be to obtain.

Oh, and a macho guy playing a chick character isn't a big deal in MMO circles....everyone does it. The prevailing attitude is "if I'm going to stare at a computer animated ass for 20-30 hours a week, it might as well be a female ass."

certainly puts my level 70 Tauren Female Mooquisha to shame :(

He probably bought it pre leveled and geared.

Who has that much time.

nah, on another messageboard they checked out his guild history. he'd been involved for a while, then was kicked out right after training camp started.

i doubt he'd have bought a character then continued to play it at the level a high end raiding guild would require.

Well looks he is on the shelf for this weekend, lots of time now to try and get the Val'anyr Hammer of Ancient Kings.

      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.
