Bill Murray. Back when I was in college, I was working at the front desk of a Chapel Hill hotel called Hotel Europa--I think it's an Omni now. Anyway, he was staying there with his family, and one day he was changing his daughter's poopy diaper on the edge of the fountain out in front of the hotel. The manager sent me out there to offer him another place to do that (ergo to get him to stop). So when I went out there, we started talking about families and stuff like that. He was a super nice guy, and I never said anything to him about the diaper thing.

He came to some minor league baseball games in Spartanburg a long time ago. I can't remember why he was in the area. Julia Roberts and Kiefer Sutherland came to a game one time, high on pot, some said.

Your poopy diaper story reminds me of my nephew's daughter's encounter with a celeb. She was about 2.5 (she's 4 now). She and her mom were at a mall in Charlotte, where they live (the city, not the mall, smart asses). They were with other moms and kids playing. At the time, the child had the nasty habit of putting her finger in other people's noses ... gross, yes, but I guess it was a curiosity thing. Anyway, mom turned her back for a second, then turned around to see a man bending over toward the child, and she had her finger up the guy's nose before mom could stop her. Horrified, she ran over, only to find that the guy was Rob Schneider! We now sometimes call the child the "Booginator." Mom didn't have the quickness to snap a photo with her phone.

Oh, that reminds me!

Dave Matthews

I grew up in Charlottesville, and used to pal around with his neice, so I hung out with him several times. I guess because it was so common seeing him around town (everyone knew him), and because at the time he was just sort of a local legand, compounded with the fact that I was between the ages of 7 and 13 at the time, it totally slipped my mind.

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      This fan base and being cool with mediocrity is infuriating. Making excuses for billionaires who had no business imploding a franchise and making us the Browns of the South.  Good on you man being a glass half full kind of person, I am not. I have zero faith in Tepper "evolving" and quoting Morgan in saying they been easy to work with is not any evidence of that actually happening. I'm sure if I go back and watch Fitt, Rhule and Reich pressers they said the same b.s. towing the line jargon to appease their boss. Stuff like, O they've been great, such great collaboration or some crap. Give me wins that is the ONLY analysis I need to judge are clown of an owner.....

      You're equating wins with evolving, but It's a little more complex than that. This will be the new managment's third season. It will also be the third season where the Teppers have taken a step back. If you think that the only way to measure improvements due to seeming changes for the better is wins and losses after only two years--one being a playoff berth, "limping" in there or not, then perhaps you're being more emotional. By most analysts' measure, Dan Morgan has the Panthers moving in the right direction. He can only get us to where we need to be with the blessing and cooperation from the owners. He has said several times now, that they are easy to work with. Rhule, Reich and Fitterer did not say that. In fact, you could literally see the pressure put upon them by their countenance.  Bottom line: it has been reported that they have changed and everything that we've seen (and not seen) is indicative of that belief. We were a playoff team, and we had a good showing. With the moves that have been made this offseason, and last offseason to be honest, NFL types are expecting the Panthers to compete for the division the upcoming season, and that's even before the draft. This is all with a QB that is still a question mark.  Rome wasn't built in a day. David Tepper has seemed to internalize that, and now many fans need to appreciate the same. It could be argued that we didn't have any business winning the games we did in '24 or '25, much less make the playoffs this past season. A positive transition appears to be afoot. We are close to becoming a perennial contender, and that's thanks to a developing culture change that is being allowed to happen. This was not the case when the Teppers, particularly David, were fumbling around trying to figure out how to run an NFL franchise.

      Dude is a beast on ST. I like the emphasis on special teams with him and Simmons.
