Alright, my pregnant wife, my dog and I were traveling back to where I am stationed from the Holidays in Cali. We decided to stay in Vegas for one night and sure enough my transmission blew out. No place is open until Monday and I was told it would cost 3 grand to replace the tranny on my AWD Jeep Grand Cherokee 2008.

Here is the deal I only have 2 thousand and I need extra for travel expenses. So I need aboit four grand. I am a lifelong diehard fan and I am going to bet on the game tomorrow to get me out of this jam.

The plays are Carolina Moneyline(just to win) and that pays three to one. I am leaning toward betting 1000 on the game this way. Leaving me with 5 grand.

Or you can take the 7.5 to 8 point cushion. Paying 1 to 1 so if I bet two grand I will win two grand leaving me with 4 grand.

I have watched almost every game and I think we have a lot to prove and

Oh man, if I had two grand I would help ya out but I don't I really feel for you cause that is the worst feeling in the world. That said

I would bet just one grand that way if you don't win you can catch the bus and get home and the reason for that is your wife is alot more important than a car. I'll be praying for you

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
