Hey friend! Yes, all is well. Thanks for asking. How about you?

Still posting in here. Done calmed down. Not very argumentative in here anymore. All is well, though. Glad to see you back, and hopefully this team gives us something to root for this Saturday and we don’t go out there and embarrass ourselves lol

One good think Blank has done has been having a decent (inexpensive if desired) food/bev experience at M-B Stadium

$2/$3 hot dogs at the stadium, and if you use a chase card you get a discount as well. Mr Blank got it right with the food pricing at M-B stadium.

So did Ron didnt work out well in Washington 

Irrelevant

I'm comparing him to a coach who's greatest accomplishment in the NFL is getting through Sasha Grey's entire catalog while working in Seattle (laudatory).

I can't hate on Arthur Blank.  He looks like a 1800's oil tycoon but he has done more for the fan experience than Tepper.

I get some Falcons cross pollination from following the Atlanta Braves.  They seem just as miserable as us honestly.

It's ok. I liked it when Count Chocula went down to dance on the sidelines of the Superbowl when he thought his shitbird team had it in the bag. 

But really, I experienced some personal growth that night. I never thought in my lifetime I could seriously claim to be a New England Patriots fan, but in that short little window of time, ever so brief, let's fuging go, Brady!

You could Almost feel bad for Blank over that SB collapse, if he hadn’t come down to the sidelines to party prematurely. 
 

Watching him come back down from his high as they pissed it away…  despite my glee at watching that team digging their grave, I was embarrassed for him.

He just got a little caught up in the moment. They've had far worse.

Michael Vick. He killed dogs. For sport. For fun. He killed dogs.

Count Choculas last dance is minor compared to all the Vick stuff.

Remember when the owner of the team was helping the injured QB on the sidelines? Yeah, that was cool.

Vick bred and fought dogs. For gambling. Yeah, despicable in my opinion. 
Apparently it is a big cultural thing, like cockfighting in the white culture back in the day. But come on, Michael. 

No better than experimenting on them medically. Lower, in fact because there is no redeeming end goal. If you could accept any end as being redeeming, that is. I don’t.  Cruel as hell. 
 

I haven’t painted Blank as a villain. He is a pretty good owner I guess. Seems to have a good heart.

I kind of want to say, that was before the dog scandal. Blank cut ties over that dog thing, I believe.

Man, as a Panthers fan Vick was one of the all time villains, dogs or no dogs.

My teammate my junior year of high school took me to the dog fights in rural Catawba county, that was some of the most disturbing poo I have ever witnessed

Yeah, I had that in the original post, but I thought I should keep it concise. It's not a good look though, even though it was before the dog stuff surfaced.

We are in danger of running off the rails here.

I think Vick has served his sentence and should be eligible to be gainfully employed by any business or organization that would be acceptable of having a felonious convict for animal cruelty as a representative.

I may be really off on this, but I seem to remember Elway was ran out of the Broncos building and relieved of his duties several seasons ago.

Yeah, he was actually a pretty bad GM. His draft picks were rough.

      Would be cool if Melo and Kon tied for the season league lead in 3’s.  Either that or Kon straight-up.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I love the bottom feeding approach.  Not to say I was the only one, but I was screaming to draft Coker and then screaming to get him in here as an UDFA.  There were criticisms about him, etc.  As a Gamecock baby (Dad was a Tight End for them when I was born) I was against Legette.  I wanted the kid from Georgia.   All that to say this:  I am afraid of drafting a WR (I spent some time today researching) a few of the top names: 1. Jordan Tyson.  MCL, ACL, NHL---he has injured everything he could that ends in "L" and some things not related to his body.  He will drop, and everyone will start getting excited around 15.   NO! take him off the board. 2. KC Concepcion.  I want to like him, but is he not John Metchie III II?  I can't stand drops. To me, the most important characteristic for a receiver is hands.  I do not buy the "He can be taught."  I disagree to a degree.  Catching a football at a high level when you are being hit by someone behind you as you run full speed across the field is more about concentration and focus than anything else. You gotta trust your eyes, your instincts, and your QB.  Hard to teach someone not to fear something that hits you that you cannot see.  Dropping passes gets into your head--that makes you second guess yourself.  if it doesn't, it should.  Either way, it is a mental issue.   3. Omar Cooper.  I like him enough, but at 19? No.  He is a good YAC guy with solid hands.  However, he had a good WR across from him, the best QB in the country, a pretty easy schedule (He had his best games against FCS schools) and I wonder how much of the route tree he ran.  I am torn, not sold.  Of the three just mentioned, he has the worst skillset but I would like him the best as our Z. Who then, do I want, you ask? If it has to be WR, trade back.  If you can't, draft the slow guy who can't get a good release.  1.  Denzel Boston.   If it has to be a WR at 19, I think I would take Denzel Boston.  His biggest criticism is the release (and 40 speed) but he had great hands and runs good routes. as the Z, which is what we need, he would be perfect because he could motion toward the LOS and even when on the LOS, he is off the ball.  Lets do some bottom fishing in Coker Lake: Round 2: Ted Hurst.  He is a model Z WR for this offense.  Drops too many balls to my liking, but as a second rounder, I can tolerate that a bit more than a first rounder.  Round 5: Kendrick Law (UK):  This is the guy I am most comfortable drafting.  His average route at KY was under 4 yards.  He is great at running after the catch.  Stats? don't look at the game stats--look at the measurables. A 42-inch vertical, a 10-foot-8 broad jump, and a 9.60 Relative Athletic Score place him among the most explosive receivers in this class. That kind of lower-body power, paired with his balance through contact and proven ability to generate yards after the catch, gives him a real foundation to develop beyond what Kentucky asked of him. I think they were considering drafting a WR in the first round.  I get it, but as with the tackles in round 1, "Buyer Beware."  I have not given up on XL but I am very concerned that his mind is not right for the NFL.
