I'd like to hear your opinion of the area.

I have been contacted about a contract to hire position there, and am unsure of the area. I know it has UNC Pembroke close by, but that is all. I have generally not heard anything good. Not really any bad though so I come to the huddle where theres always someone to say something bad about anything.

So are the schools crappy? Is the night life non-existent? Would you rather drive around this area of the state as opposed to through it?

James R. Jordan, Sr., the father of basketball legend Michael Jordan, was murdered on July 23, 1993, at a rest stop off Interstate 95 near Lumberton.

i don't know B. I just looked at info on wiki, and according to it...the average household may not be able to afford a computer. They may never see the thread.

Yeah, you have a point...

I'm only a little familiar with the area... aside from traveling through there on occasion, I have done a little business with Robeson County and dealt with some of their county employees and spent a little time there in downtown Lumberton. It's not a bad little town, but like I said, you're used to Wilmington, and it's by no means a metropolis, but there's a pretty big difference between the two.

LIAR!! Random drunk guy at the bar came up to me on sat tapped me on the shoulder and told me Jordan's dad was still alive I said "ok thanks for sharing" he continued to ramble on about how changed his face and Michael paid for it. Pretty sure it was Venom talking to me.

its sounding like I don't want to be full time for this place. may have to contract for them though until they offer the job IF it makes sense. meaning they'd have to cover living expenses. rules of unemployment pretty much obligate me to.

      2025 Schedule Release - post 'em when you find 'em

      So dumb I get it, they want to expand the reach of the NFL, but it's not the right sport to be playing games halfway around the world for a variety of reasons.   But one of the main ones is what happens if a player has an injury in that game? A lot of times, you're not supposed to fly right after some injuries, so when they happen here it's not a big deal, the player stays in that town for a few days and then flys home separately.  But that opens a whole bag of worms if the game is played all the way out in Australia. Plus just needing that long of a flight to get out there and back, even if they get a bye week after, it means a ton of travel and needing to adjust to a new time zone directly after another game.

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
