Swung by practice today...

I swung by practice today under the assumption that it would be held around the same time as it was last year... got there at about 12:30 and it hadn't even started yet. Walked down the path from the practice fields to the stadium and walking right towards me was the one-and-only Cam Newton... and he is gigantic. Keep in mind that I'm 6'6" and 297 lbs.

Didn't want to bug the guy, so as I walked by I just said "Hey Cam" and he looked right at me with a big smile and said "Hey buddy" in a very genuinely friendly way (I know, cool story bro). Before Cam, Peppers was the most physically impressive person I've ever been around, but Cam takes it... he's not human.

So anyways, I'm trying to figure out if the later practice start today will be a regular thing or if it was just for this special sponsor event they were having?

Anybody have any intel on what time normal practices will start this year?

I think that the vision of Peppers is wearing off.

Cam is a beast, but Peppers is other worldly.

Maybe, not taking anything away from Peppers - he's a freak, maybe it's because my mind is trying to tell me that Cam is a QB and he looks like a DE.

Seeing his silhouette coming at me through the tunnel was one of the most impressive things I've ever seen... I knew who it was the moment I saw him because nobody else is built like that.

Sounds like you could kick his ***

First I would have to catch him and there's no chance of that... plus you have to think very carefully about getting into a fight with anybody that has his size/athleticism combination.

The only experience I have to compare is throwing Juan Howard and Brian Mitchell out of a bar I was a bouncer in up in DC back in the 90's. I was doing about 360 lbs at the time and could handle myself and Juan Howard was a handful.

      https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48344034/nfl-begin-hiring-replacement-officials-given-state-negotiations-nfl-referees-association   Honestly fug these refs and their union. Resisting changes that would actually incentivize good performance and not seniority based systems. What a bunch of donkeys. Hope the replacements straight up take their jobs and never give them back. Sick of watching refs script games with no repercussions.

      Donovan seems like highest risk to me. Lloyd and May have already established relationships with all these kids. There’s probably guys hitting the portal that they recruited from HS. And then there’s the possibility of transferring their own guys from their current teams. They’ve also been recruiting the HS kids for like the next 5 years already. Look at the Iowa coach who hit the ground running by transferring all his guys from his D2 program. Or going across sports to Cignetti transferring all his JMU guys year one then building off that to a national title year 2. Donovan is starting from square one having been in the NBA so long and he’s already 60. So you’re potentially punting year 1 for a guy you are just hoping to be a 10 year hire while you figure out how to actually develop your next home grown 20yr guy. That’s 1/10th of the time you have him, more or less at best. The hope would be that he would find some high level assistants who have been working the college recruiting trails already, but then are you giving up his ideal staff just to get a foothold in recruiting and transfers. Think Belichick year one was bad? Imagine how much worse it would be without Steve Belichicks transfer portal pulls. Hoping Mays or Lloyd are all they’re cracked up to be.
