Child Stars: Then and Now

Rock Stars: Then and Now

The respective ages of some of the biggest rock stars of my teen years:

- Joan Jett, 51

- Eddie Van Halen, 55 (David Lee Roth will turn 57 this year)

- Pat Benatar, 57

- Jon Bon Jovi, 58

- Bruce Springsteen, 60

- the "Heart" sisters, 56 and 60

- Stevie Nicks, 62

- Grace Slick (Jefferson Airplane/Starship), 70

Other stuff I find mildly depressing...

- "Ralphie" from "A Christmas Story" is now 40 and working as a producer/director.

- Little Raven Simone of the Cosby Show was born the same year I graduated high school.

- Steve Perry of Journey has had hip replacement surgery.

- one of the Family Matters kids wound up in porn

- "Zach" from "Saved by the Bell is pushing 40 ("Screech" has a sex tape).

- One of the kids from "Hanson" is married and has a son.

Of course, there's also the fact that half the child stars - from the "Sixth Sense" kid to the Olsen Twins to Lindsay Lohan - have all been in rehab for one thing or another. Plus the knowledge that while the older stars of "Diff'rent Strokes" are still alive, two of the three child stars are dead.

Oy :(

For those who hadn't seen it:

New Panthers assistant OL coach Ray Brown played quite a while in the NFL. It came home to him just how long when he met a new young teammate with a familiar name.

He walked over and greeted the kid, telling him "You know, there was another guy with the same name as you playing in the NFL back when I first started."

The kid replied "I know. He's my Dad" :eek:

It was at that moment that Brown decided it might be time to think about retiring :lol:

      The only thing I said was he was part of the staff that made part of the decisions, and that I am judging the decisions made by that group as a whole. As assistant GM, you can pretty much guarantee his input held more sway than an intern or the guy that takes coffee requests. Fitterer didn't operate in a vacuum. Neither does Morgan now. While Fitterer did have the ultimate decision, to say that Dan had no input in ranking boards, evaluating FAs, trade offers or anything else would be asinine. We all know he did. Otherwise what the hell was his job as assistant GM? He wouldn't have been kept for 3 years if he was arguing every decision Scott ever made.    And the actual quote was "Morgan has done a bang up job in the draft and FA. Compared to what the last guy did, he is kicking ass and taking names." So is XL kicking ass and Brooks taking names from last years draft or did I get it backwards? We took Wallace over Payton Wilson because he was an injury risk after trading up for a RB with a torn ACL? Which one of the kicking ass and taking names was that?  Maybe we should review the thousands of gameday posts calling for XL to get off the field because he's a bust and can't catch a cold. We could review the posts about Brooks but... And Wilson. He's at 118 tackles this season vs 36 for Wallace.  I gave credit to Dan for a good draft this year. But I'm also not ignoring last year's draft either since he did that one after the last guy too.  That's not a strawman.

      And then, in week 18, we can take Mayfield out of the game and whoop Bridgewater's @$$ for good measure! Let the former QB revenge train roll on!!

      If we keep our guards in tact ($$$) and go with Mays at C, some OT depth would be nice. I think we should be happy about CB with Thornton's development (pre injury) and Smith Wade. I think Ransom is developing nicely, but I would like to see a FS type for situations. We suck at ILB and Edge (as a whole). We should be OK at RB.  I hope we sign Dowdle to a short contract. QB?  There are signs of hope and development.  (I don't like our backup QB) TE?  Good draft for TE, but I think we are developing with Evans, Sanders, and Tremble. WR?  A #2 with Coker and Horn in the slot.  XL?  What is that? We should be good in 2026. Morgan does more than draft.  Free agency has been strong too.  (Just emptying my brain on your comment--sorry)
