I really don't understand why players would risk themselves by riding. This coming from a former rider.

Mostly because they are young and they don't think about the consequences of the things they do. I did a lot of stupid things when I was in my teens and twenties that I wouldn't even consider doing now.

so did I. the big thing with bikes though is that you can't account for other people's actions. The number of times I was nearly knocked off my bike by someone merging over is ridiculous.

the other thing is riding gear. I know he isn't the highest paid player but I know he could have at least afforded what is needed to not get skinned up. If he was riding down 40 in street clothes...well...there's something to be said for his intelligence.

Guys hardy is that kind of person, he is a bad boy mofo. He is easily second round grade talent...yet went in the 6th for a reason.

I am just happy he didn't do something even more stupid, and I hope he doesn't slip because I think he'd continue to play well and disciplined under Rivera.

Still it's scary to think becasue I consider him the next best DE, surpassing Brown IMO.

this isn't the first thing though. did you read the article? the track record worries me

...was charged with driving without a license and three other violations - failure to yield, failure to exercise due care and following too closely...

Hardy was stopped in Mecklenburg County in February and charged with driving without a license and registration, according to court records.

I'll give him that this happens a lot though. Its a big reason to not ride in the rain.

Hardy, who was wearing a helmet, said the other driver pulled in front of him and "punched on his brakes."

      If you could add one player from any team in the NFL to the 2025 Panthers to make them Super Bowl contenders, who would it be?

      Neither Barkley nor even a healthy CMC would move the needle much for us. Those are guys that impact teams that already have impressive overall offenses and defenses, so they can perform the complimentary roles that make them actually valuable. We should know that specifically because CMC almost never moved the needle on bad Panthers team after bad Panthers team. Ask Giants fans about that with Saquon.

      I would generally disagree. You see a lot more load management than previously but that is because being healthy in the playoffs is such a key factor. Different philosophies in that regard than previous generations.  Baseball really doesn't matter until at least halfway through the season. I am not gonna say they don't play hard but the physical demands are infinitesimal in the MLB in comparison to basically any other major pro sport.  People dislike all the shooting these days but that's a direct correlation with how much the overall skill level of the average NBA player has drastically risen over the past 15ish years. There are other aggravating factors, certainly, but that is the biggest one in terms of playing style differences. So many of the guys from the 80's and 90's wouldn't even be able to play in the modern NBA at all. The biggest problem the NBA has with the American market(they are the only US sport that has any real international appeal or interest, minus the NHL) is that they are so steadily corrupt and fix the systems against the small market teams. Well, you eventually lose a big chunk of the league viewership/potential viewership in the process. Take the very obviously fixed NBA draft lotteries. Superstar and upper tier star players rarely want to play for small market teams, nor can they usually afford to pay them. So how do you expect them to possibly compete in that environment?
