Something I've Noticed on the Road

On Saturday, I kinda crashed up my car a little bit. There was a god-fosaken trailer in the parking space behind me, and it didn't show up in the rear view mirror. So I'm driving around with a completely dented in bumper cover. [WHO THE FUG LEAVES A TRAILER IN A PARKING SPACE AT A STRIP MALL!!! WHO?!]

Anyway, for the past two days, on the road, I've noticed people are fuggin' with me a lot. They're cutting me off, zipping around me, cutting in front of me at red lights. Mainly, people are riding my ass, maybe two feet away from my rear fender, they never did that before. I finally had to brake-check one guy and then gun it through an intersection, leaving him caught at the red light (the look on his face almost made it worth it). I'm driving the exact same way, at the exact same speeds on the exact same roads, and now people act totally different around me.

And now I'm wondering, is it because of the damage? Do people see a wounded car and just assume I'm a lousy driver? Maybe assholes see body damage and subconsciously associate me with the people they fug with on a daily basis. It's a pretty interesting phenomenon.

Maybe they are trying to lure you into a wreck so they can get a payday. It is apparent that you have prior crash(es) so it would be an easy sell to the cop and their insurance company.

At least that's what I am doing.

The next time you leave me stuck at a red light, I'm gonna.....

weird.....I have dents on my car too, but I drive like an asshole.

Everyone drives too slowly in the left lane, blabs on their cell phones and talks like idiots, or they are just so fuging stupid they aren't paying attention.

Worse still are the people who are going straight in the right turn lane, so now I can't make my right turn on the red light. I want to put cigarettes out on those people.

Spend some time in D.C. The roads in Carolina will feel Southern Pines after that. You simply have to drive like an a-hole here, or your commute will be miserable. I was never an a-hole, but I flew under their radar before. Now I have a bullseye.

ahaha drivers in Charlotte drive me crazy. Some old dude in a Corvette tried to brake check me on 77N the other day. He underestimated me :)

managed to flick him off and make him feel like an idiot in his car at the same time.

I have a lot of people do the little "no no no" finger to me in their rear view too. Look, there is a reason I'm riding ur ass. Get the fug out of the left lane.

THIS. drives me up the fuging wall. I cant stand it either. There is one light this always happens to me at in the mornings, so I look for cops, then cut through the gas station on the right.

I usually will try and nudge and have my signal on to see if they will move forward for me, because I try and do that for people. I feel bad if Im in your way of turning right, and its not like its going out of my way to move up so you can fit through.

The thing that really gets me here is waving when I let you in. This is the south dammit. Ill usually wave and yell your welcome and make sure they see me in their mirror.

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
