When I was in the Philippines in April, traffic patterns were, well there really wasn't much of a pattern. You just went were you wanted to go, without many lights or signals or rules of the road. Took forever to get anywhere. A 150 mile drive took 10 hours.

Mixed bag on safety though. They don't drive as fast as we do in the states, so the accidents aren't as damaging. On the other hand, they don't have as many safety regulations (for example no seat belt laws) so even accidents at lower speeds tend to cause more injuries.

I'd feel safer driving with those people than driving through Charlotte in the rain.

this times 1,000....people in this city absolutely cannot drive in the rain. One little drop hits a windshield and all hell breaks loose.....

Being from the mountains, I always got a good chuckle out of watching flatlanders freak the fug out when it snowed. Now that I live at the coast, when it snows the 1 or 2 times a year, it's fuging comical. I go out driving just to watch the comedy.

That looks like India.

And by the way, Charlotte's traffic isnt that bad at all. I lived in L.A. for a few months, and in Orlando for a few years. They are much much worse.

Most of the people that complain about Charlotte traffic are people that have never lived anywhere but Charlotte/NC/Some other small southern town or city.

After enduring DC traffic for the last 18 months, I will never complain about Charlotte traffic.

I am not even sure that Charlotte has the worst traffic in North Carolina. The Triangle area, especially on 85 at rush hour, is pretty bad at times.

Traffic around Charlotte is bad because NC cheaps out on everything - especially road construction.

But I agree - Charlotte's traffic is tame compared to cities even a quarter its size.

      Most hated teams

      After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
