Another good one. I was in Boston in June 2006 at Microsoft TechEd for a week. Met 5 coworkers there. One of them was a recovering alcoholic, in from Denver CO. One night, we were all out drinking (he fell off the wagon). We all got back to the same hotel around 11pm or so. Found out the next morning that he had went back out drinking, got lost in downtown Boston and paid a homeless man $20 to help him find the hotel. Lucky he didn't get jacked.

Most I've ever drank...we were playing having a house party at my house and my band was playing in the basement. It was Christmas break, and I think it was that golden week between Christmas and New Years, so there were a lot of people ready to party. We bought a handle of dark Puerto Rican Rum for the band to drink on for the show, but since I went and got it, I started early. It was still daylight when I started drinking and we starting playing around 11. I remember toting around that handle with me as we bounced from neighbor house to neighbor house until the party finally came back to my house for the show.

About halfway through the set, I just lost it. I toppled over backward, taking out a lamp and hitting my head on the wall. I was out for a few seconds then came to and tried to pick back up where I left in the song. Everyone started cheering. Not long after that, I vaguely remember running up the stairs and the rest is black. I woke up in my bedroom, with puke stains on the floor, in a new set of clothes. My friends said I locked myself in the bathroom and they had to break in to see if I was alive.

I was pretty close to needing to go to the hospital level. I drank almost an entire handle.

      Round 7: The Carolina Panthers select LB Jackson Kuwatch (Miami of Ohio)

      By bigginpc · Posted

      He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.

      This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.

      Round 5: The Carolina Panthers select C Sam Hecht (Kansas State)

      I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
