A thread about bad football parents

So, tonight at the football game in the first quarter, a parent from nash central came over to our side, climbed on the band director's stand and proceeded to yell at him. The guy then grabbed our directors head with both hands and was shaking it. I think our director was in shock but did shove the guy off the stand. It's not like our director could hit him in front of all the kids.

Early in the 2nd quarter, the guy comes sauntering back by, salutes our director, and walks back around to the visitor side. By this time, security had been made aware of the guy. They tossed him during the half.

This guy was coked out of his mind and you could smell alcohol on him.

My husband had a part in all this, but doesn't want me to talk about it. I'll just say my hubby went to the director's defense and went after the guy. We love our director.

Oh, and the guy was pissed because the band was playing while nash central was on offense. Hello, dumbass. That means we were on defense and can make all the noise we want.

Our band didn't shut up the entire second half when we were on defense. Caused several delays of game against the bulldogs. :) Don't piss the band director off.

Icing on the cake? We won.

i've been involved in martial arts for fifteen years, and i was heavily involved in the tournament circuit for half of them... and having worked as a judge in those tournaments i can tell you the absolute worst thing to deal with was the parents of some of the kids. i swear half those people check their brains at the door when they come in.

this one woman volunteered as a scorekeeper in one of the rings, conveniently putting herself in the one where her son (about ten years old) was competing. the kid was a little punk, goofing around the entire time. she asked me what judges look for and one thing i mentioned is how the competitor presents himself from the moment he enters the ring, and she immediately went over and told him to straighten up. then after he'd gone through his forms in front of the judges and gotten low scores, she tallied them up and put his name at the top of the charts.

the head judge called out the awards and i pointed out that the math was done wrong, this kid hadn't even actually placed in the top three. the woman immediately freaked out saying it would be heartless to take the trophy from him since he'd been awarded it, and demanded that both kids get to keep the first place trophy. the judge didn't realize what she'd done and agreed with her.

i wanted to punch that ***** in the face.

      That was a good segment. Watched every minute of it and would highly recommend it to all fans.

      Gantt mailbag spawns some truth, & the nitty-gritty about drafting & draft philosophy.

      By TD alt · Posted

      "So much of what the Panthers are going to do next week isn't dictated by their preference, but by what happens above them. That's another benefit of not getting locked into need. For instance, if you're thinking you want a receiver, seeing five or six of them go off the board and reacting by taking the sixth or seventh off your list instead of the first (or second or third) something else isn't necessarily wise." https://www.panthers.com/news/ask-the-old-guy-back-into-the-weeds-of-the-nfl-draft-bryce-young-charlotte-hornets-mock-draft This is what some don't seem to get, I don't care how many times it is said: You're NOT going to draft an inferior person at one position, just because that position is perceived as, or is in fact, a bigger need. That would basically nullify, or at least lessen, the reason why you set yourself up via free agency to be able to take the BPA/BAP on the board in the first place.  Yes, the process is complex, very much involved and ongoing, but the overall philosophy is not rocket science. You set yourself up in order not to be pigeonholed into taking a lower graded player at the expense of a higher graded one. This is why Morgan, Gantt and countless of others say the same thing. This is why it's just nonsensical to set yourself in a position where you don't have to, but then act like you have to come hell or high water: "Oh, we have to draft [whatever position], and we can't draft [this position]."  I'm good with whatever they do, until proven otherwise, but even then, you have to be mature enough to know that drafting is an imperfect exercise, filled with hits and misses. And, you generally don't know if you've hit, and especially missed, right away. Moreover, like I've said before, sometimes two players--different positions or not--can both be hits on their respective teams, so in that sense, it's not purely about a right or wrong pick as much as it's about putting puzzle pieces together at the time the best way that you know how.  At the end of the day, people are going to believe what they want to believe, but one thing that's true is that what the Panthers do regarding the draft is dependent upon what others do, and what others do can and does change things. That being the case, it's just another reason why you can't go in with tunnel vision. The thought of doing that is preposterous.
