Not talking about a simple handshake in passing.

1. Back in the day when I lived in Savannah I was stuck at the ATL airport waiting on a late night flight while on R&R. I was in my Army uniform reading a newspaper and someone across from where I was sitting started to talk to me. I looked up and it was Tom Berenger. Inside I was like "holy poo, it's the Platoon bad ass", but I didn't say anything about him being a movie start. We just talked about family and our destinations. He lives in Beauford, SC which surprised me. And his wife was the hottest 40 year old I've ever laid my eyes on.

2. Benjamin Bratt once paid for my order at the same airport when he was behind me in the line. I should have asked to smell his finger :o

All of it made me realize that a) Army uniform does wonders in public and B) ATL airport is the place to be

Shaking his hand and him saying "thanks for free drinks tonight, stranger" doesn't count

well...truth be known he said...thanks for letting me buy you drinks all night, sorry I'm so sloppy but I was at ball practice with my huddle b-ball team!

seriously...mine would be Guy Lafleur...and it was a big thrill seeing I grew up a die hard Habs fan and Guy was my favorite player!

I was the honorary coach for one of those legends of hockey tours and Guy and Tiger Williams were the headliners. The three of us actually missed the start of the 3rd period because we were in the dressing room talking about the state of hockey today...the gal taking care of everything wasn't impressed!!!

Got some good pics and autographs out of it, but the whole experience was cool.

reason he was so sloppy had to do with that beatdown they took earlier.. had to drink away the pain of being slightly below mediocre..

      Be careful what you wish for

      You absolutely can have hope. You can’t convert people though; making advocacy posts are kind of … not reading the room.   I had a small hope that he would be able to at least manage some games and that they could make it work in some kind of no fun to watch fashion.  But honestly I had 100% determined he was not NFL starter material, and I had conviction. So to root for him to marginally succeed goes against the best interest of the Panthers long term, according to my beliefs. I wanted him gone the minute he got here if I am honest.It was up to him to prove otherwise.  He has rarely shown me anything to think I was wrong on his ceiling.  He did show me some courage last year, standing in the pocket and stepping into his throw in the face of pressure - but that has gone somewhere. He made some nice throws last year in places too, but they invested in him on the level of the Atlanta game should be his norm. Good luck seeing that again on Sunday. Still, he did it once, so technically it could happen again.

      Damn that was a longer post than I intended, Maybe I should have started a new thread.

      On that TD, he sure didn't get any help from Scott at FS! While we're pointing out Blue Chips...Horn has proven to be a lock-down, (dare I say)elite CB and DB is one of the best at DT. Which brings me to a topic that has unfortunately been much on my mind lately...2026. Our important (IMO) FAs are: Rico Dowdle - As you pointed out, Etienne is developing nicely and Brooks is still untested potential, so not a big loss. Cade Mays and Brady Christensen - I think we can keep both without breaking the bank. BC tested the market this year and it was all but non-existent. He's a solid backup, but backup linemen don't get paid. Mayes is our only starter on the line who's a FA and he's technically not a starter. Corbett is a FA, but good riddance as far as I'm concerned. He stays hurt and can't snap the damn ball when he is healthy. Hunter Renfrow signed a 1 -year prove it deal, and will resign a team friendly deal again I think. He has repeatedly said that he only wants to play here and is Coker's backup anyway. DJ Wonnum - Solid mid-tier guy that I would like back, but is easily replaceable. I will not cry if he walks. Every other FA is bottom of the barrel roster fillers. As it stands now, we need (in order); QB, ILB, OL/DL depth, secondary depth. If we resign Mays, OL is in tact again and still pretty darned good. Horne, Jackson, and Smith-Wade are solid starters as are T-mac and Coker. We have some promising young WRs in Tremayne and Horn. I see us trying to get a FA Chain mover and/or resign Renfrow. RB room looks really good. TE is a conundrum, Tremble will never be a great pass catcher and Sanders will never be a great blocker. Evans is starting to show signs of life, but not enough to tell yet. This could be another spot we try to upgrade via free agency, having a proven TE could really help our rookie QB.
