In the wake of the Tucson shootings, there are a lot of tragic stories. This one made me cry while I was watching it on CNN

More details are emerging about the harrowing and heroic last few moments of a former Washington state man's life, that ended during the weekend shooting rampage in Arizona.

When a gunman opened fire outside a Tucson grocery store, Dorwan was there with his wife Mavy.

"As soon as they realized that what they were hearing were not fireworks, he threw himself on Mavy and forced her to the ground," Stoddard said, voice choking. "[Dorwan] took three bullets while he was shielding his wife."

Mavy was his childhood sweetheart. A woman Dorwan reunited with and married in his 60's, a wife he cared for until the end.

"As soon as the shooting stopped, Mavy realized that Dorwan had been shot. She cradled him when he passed. They had maybe ten minutes. At that point I think he realized that she was OK and he left us."

That is just the sweetest and most selfless thing ever. Watching her tell the story made me cry, she talked about how he died right there on her leg and the last things that he said to her before he stopped breathing

      Run Threat Rate -- is this good?

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      From Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/nutshellsportz.bsky.social/post/3mo3rkrcezs2e  A look at Run Threat Rate across the NFL Run Threat Rate is the percentage of plays where a team either runs the ball or uses play action. This compares each team’s rate when leading or tied versus when trailing to show how much they abandon the run when playing from behind.

      That's the current dilemma on both parties at the moment. If Ickey comes back too soon, he won't be 100% and his play will suffer. Leading to a potential decrease in his contract. If Ickey is unable to play and sits the entire 2026 season, his contract will still take the same hit since it tells all 32 team that he is not fully recovered. On the Panthers side, I'm sure they would want to keep Ickey if he is fully recovered but he is obviously in a contract year. They don't want to re-sign him to a massive deal since it be too risky and they know if Ickey is able to return to form.  Best case scenario, the Panthers wants to offer Ickey a 1-2 year heavily incentive based prove it deal. However, Ickey would most likely decline the offer and test the market as  another team can come in and offer Ickey a better deal if they are desperate enough for O-line help.

      They have been giving him a lot of snaps at RT to give TMo some relief in camp. I think that will continue for the time being.
