Lol same here. I have too many email accounts I don’t know how to access any more. 

Ain't it the truth? I finally dug my feet in and settled on my old hotmail account. I know it brands me as Gen-X, but what the hell do I care?

You shouldn’t care. Personally as an out of the mainstream late boomer (1954) I don’t carry the baggage people put on boomers. I carry my personal baggage. And I wish it were lighter, lol. 
 

It’s a thing where people assign traits to entire population groups. As if there is no variance inside those groups. They are the people you probably should just ignore.

I'm dropping some serious coinage into this joint to give it a facelift and more modern features. I hope you are ok with change. 

Soon you will be loving/hating/apathetic this team (probably all on one Sunday) in modern style. 

 

Love,

 

Zod 

I'm jumping up and down with joy!

You probably have noticed, but it's the same criticisms and flaws, just renewed for each alphabet soup generation. I'm Gen X, nothing like Baby Boomers. Those fugers hung keys around our necks, forced us to be the tech support for the house, program the vcr, operate the microwave, and then left us alone to survive and if pedo creeps got you, then too bad, you should have ran faster. Oh and the vcr time is still blinking.

Now, the stupid generations of millennials and Y think we are cranky, crusty old Boomers.

OK honestly I don’t identify like that but if I did I would think about being the first raised on TV generation (bad), we were probably latch key/before the term was invented - because I was raised by a single working parent, stuff like that. No baby sitters until after dark. Afternoons you just waited for an adult to show up. We were the bussing generation where they tried out their social engineering and forcing the races together in school (good and bad in that), and definitely the first bunch to have to deal with the threat of the big bomb going off. I, like everybody else was taken out in the hallway at school and taught how to and where to sit and receive my radiation dose if someone nuked us. And then they killed our president right in front of us.

That is probably the most destabilizing thing that gets the least attention. The atomic bomb and the potus killing. 

Around t(e same time we had the Beatles and music becoming a youth thing, with the youth gaining economic power they still have today, and top it off with a good memory of childhood - all tne Coke bottle caps had pictures of NFL players in them. We collected them. I particularly remember Mick Tinglehoff Minnesota Vikings lol. Complete with flattop haircut. We had pro football before there was ever a super bowl and in those days baseball was the king of sports in the US.But football was coming for them. And soccer was what weird funny talking foreigners did lol.

Do you think somebody like me who's a 40 year old millennial never had to program a VCR, let myself in to the house in the afternoon before my parents got home, operate a microwave, or be tech support for the entire fam-hang on, my aunt is calling me.  She clicked the wrong link again and a popup took over her screen.

No, that's kind of what I was saying. Every generation has these things attached to them, and they are all similar for each generation, and come at similar times in their era.

However, it is always presented as being unique and exclusive to that particular generation.

How many young generations get labeled as lazy, aloof, no thought of the future?

How many older generations are called difficult, intolerant, get-off-my-lawn types.

It all comes around in a big circle of poo.

      Big changes coming

      I'd like to see the gameday chats come back, especially if you can get it mobile compatible and like those support chats that stay on the screen even when you move around the site. We could use them during CLTFC and Hornets games now too.

      There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring.

      I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
