so last night my daughter who is playing softball had a parents vs daughter softball scrimmage. i grew up playing baseball and played softball for most of my college and adult life up until about a decade ago. i didn't really have any reason to stop, but i also wasn't in any situations to play. i figured, "why not?"

well, now i know "why not?". about 8 years ago i slipped at work and banged my head on the concrete floor. had a concussion that was pretty bad for a while, but that was a long time ago. the only lingering thing going on is that i have double vision, but i'm used to is. i've adjusted....or at least i thought i had.

i played catcher (one of the positions i used to play a lot) and i got up to bat. both ended up being terrifying. apparently when you've got double vision, it also affects your depth perception. i couldn't see the ball coming. well i saw it, but i didn't know where it was. i got hit once and i thought, "ok. i'm done."

i'm talking to my wife about it and she says, "well, you're probably never going to play softball again." that's a sad realization for some reason. well it was in the moment. then my thought was, "i really have to pee" and i was over it. 

point of all that is, getting old is...... interesting. 

thanks for letting me share.

I had to use one of the bathrooms at work this morning and the person who had just used it was clearly older because it reeked (and had that horrible spiritual/atmospheric pressure) of a prescription dump.

This thread felt like the appropriate place to weep after that Hell.

This place didn’t use to be just a message board though, back in the day several huddlers would actually get together and tailgate at the games.  Several huddlers know each other through those and we all shared one passion, the Panthers.  Nothing else mattered.  That all changed in this new world we live in.

Met several people from here at the Super Bowl pre-party in SF before SB50. Roaring Riot basically started here as a fledgling little tailgate. I’m sure Jeremy is just busy with life and Lord knows I know that poo happens, but this place still rocks and I’m grateful to him for it.

serious question...does OG stand for old guy?

In incarcerated terms OG is Original Gangster, but is a euphemism and term of respect for Old Guys. So when you are locked up and a new guy comes in with his towel and bedroll into your unit that looks 40+ or so you say what’s up OG? It’s kind of a term of respect and acknowledging he is not a young blood.

      That's certainly what we hope but c'mon... stating it as fact when he's never played a down of NFL football?

      What?!?!?! Chark's 1,000 yard season was 4 years before he played for us and he only had 525 yards in 15 games as our #1 WR.  Dude has 3,100 yards in 7 seasons, he's the literal definition of a JAG and you think he is better than half our current WR room? T-Mac is literally already better than Chark was at his peak, which again, was years before he ever even put on a Panthers uniform, and there is a real argument to be made that XL and Coker were both better as rookies than Chark was for us in his one season here.

      Im glad we're starting low. It's nonsensical to put us at 28 IMHO based on objective things IMHO (I think 21-24) is far more appropriate but whatever. Washington was at the bottom last year FWIW.  In 2003, Sports Illustrated said our best chance to win the division was to transfer to the ACC. In 2015, everyone wrote us off as a team that snuck into the playoffs with a losing record in 2014 and lost our best WR in TC (Kelvin Benjamin). All these videos are fodder for conversation, but this prediction has no more validity than saying the Panthers are making the SB bc we're starting the season against the Jaguars again. If Bryce plays like he did down the stretch we will end up the season just fine. This roster is much better than it has been the last 2 seasons. No one knows who any season will ultimately end up, but this team is finally being built in the right way, and the idea that this roster can't compete this year is as insane as being it was when we were gaslit in 2023 that we were a rookie QB from winning the division with that roster.
