My Monday Training Camp Experience

I haven't had time to type this up the past two days, with work and all. But I wanted to give you a run down of what I, as a fan, experienced Monday.

Me and my brother got together and made a massive sign out of poster board saying "Go Cam Newton #1" in big bold blue and black sharpy. I was pimped out in my authentic Beason jersey, mirror shades, black cap, and my brother was in a Panther T-shirt, with a blue cap. We had a nice 2 hour drive down 85 to spartanburg. Chatting it up about various things we hoped to see at practice.

When we arrived we were about an hour early (5:00) and about a quarter til 6 the players started coming out and the scrubs started to sign autographs. My brother wanted everyones signature, but I, having limited space on my autograph ball, held my standards high. Sure enough coach RR started signing, and I got his signature. I then asked him about Cam Newton's progress, and he said "so far so good". I then went on to get Tony Pike's auto, just because I have a feeling he will be good at some point in the NFL. He's super tall and really skinny.

Well, when the real players came out onto the field. The whole crowd was quiet, well, all except for me. First I screamed at Mike Goodson "GO MIKE!!!!" loud as could be, I pointed at him, and he gave me the peace sign! :D Then I screamed at Charles Godfrey, well, just because I was excited, he just kinda looked at me.

But when Cam Newton came out, I had my brother hold up the giant sign and I screamed "GO CAM!!! WOOOHOOO! CAM NEWTON! LETS GO BABY! WOOOHOO!" He bent over laughing while walking onto the field and pointing at me, I yelled "I WILL SEE YOU AFTER PRACTICE!" and he yelled back "No, I will see you after practice!" So it was settled. Big sig after practice.

Then here came Smitty and I did the same thing for him, and he just casually said "see ya after practice". Where's the energy? Well I went on to do the same thing to DWill and Greg Olsen. No emotion in them. :nonod:

Well about 10 minutes into practice it started to downpour, and they went inside, Cam Newton, carrying 3 helmets, leaped onto the golf cart with the other QB's and they shipped up to the gym to do an inside practice for the rest of the night. Shocked and with a glimir of hope, I waited the storm out with a few other fans and spent another 2 hours infront of the practice facility hoping they would come out and at least give me an autograph or something. Never happened. I started to sneak into the facility to see whats going on and then chickened out after seeing some staff, but can you really blame me? And I wasted half a tank of gas on a 4 hour round trip to SC for 10 minutes of action. It wasn't all to bad though.

In conclusion, I've learned a valuable lesson, check the weather before making day trips.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
