Since when do youth fundraisers consist of "begging" on a corner??? What kind of entitlement are we teaching. I just passed a bunch of football players at an intersection with buckets asking for money. Not working for it or doing any service or fundraiser to earn it. Just begging for it. Im ashamed of the type of people our country has produced, its disgusting.

What are you talking about? They are being prepared for their futures.

My dad did this with his youth football teams in the seventies. Its not all fun and games - the kids have to wear uniforms and stand out there for a long time (kids are not really designed to do this all that well). The kids give up one full day instead of a weeks long sales drive, they don't have to bug all their relatives or go door to door selling crappy candy or magazines, and it all works out.

They made so much money that the church my dad coached for decided they needed to share the money because so many people contributed to them because people just love football. He decided to quit and take the program to the Boys Club where they didn't have to raise money that way anymore.

    • hiring matt rhule and giving him full control was maybe the worst singular decision this franchise has ever made outside of Rae Caruth 
    • Vikings bring back WR Thielen from Panthers Vikings get: WR Adam Thielen, conditional 2026 seventh-round pick, 2027 fifth-round pick Panthers get: 2026 fifth-round pick, 2027 fourth-round pick Vikings grade: A- Panthers grade: C+ The Vikings have re-united with their longtime receiver Adam Thielen. Assuming the conditions of the 2026 pick headed to Minnesota are met, the Vikings will have moved back two rounds in next year's draft and one round in 2027's draft to acquire the single year remaining on the 35-year-old receiver's contract. This is fine business. The Vikings' receiver depth will be tested early this season, as WR3 speedster Jalen Nailor recovers from a hand injury and WR2 Jordan Addison serves a three-game suspension. Depth receiver Rondale Moore had a season-ending knee injury early this offseason, leaving rookie Tai Felton and veteran Tim Jones as the depth behind Justin Jefferson to start the season. Thielen should slot right into a familiar offense and provide a good safety blanket for young quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who needs strong early performances in September to boost his confidence and generate some positive momentum. I like the deal a lot for that reason: McCarthy won't spend the first three starts of his NFL career endeavoring to make up for bad receiver play. This is actually a bigger risk for the Panthers than it appears. From Week 8 on last season -- the stretch in which quarterback Bryce Young came back and looked solid -- Thielen was the Panthers' best receiver. Sure, guys like Jalen Coker and Ja'Tavion Sanders were having breakout games, and the backs were getting involved as pass catchers, but it was Thielen who drove the ship. Thielen averaged 2.47 yards per route run in that stretch, which was the 14th best number in the NFL. He also caught 80% of his targets when Coker and Xavier Legette caught 63.2% and 56.4%, respectively. Thielen was so valuable that the Panthers gave him a raise in March worth $1.5 million to encourage him to stave off retirement. The drafting of first-round receiver Tetairoa McMillan always foretold a decrease in target share for Thielen. But keeping Thielen around for another year would have helped smooth the transition. Now the Panthers enter the season with a starting receiver trio (McMillan, Coker and Legette) full of big-play potential but no proven chemistry with Young over the middle of the field. That's an important cornerstone of the Panthers' offensive system that needs replacing. -- Solak
