I usually wake up and watch Boomer and Cartons live simulcast of their radio show every morning and who comes in and sits down with them at the Super Bowl in Indy? Big #1. Great interview, Cam wasen't political he was very real as you can gain a sense of comfort with Carton who is hilarious and Boomer of course being a former professional athlete. Some tidbits i can recall:

-Carton asked Cam if he was nervous during his first game and when did it hit him that he was an NFL QB, to which Cam responded that he was alittle nervous yet calm, and that when they were standing there during teh national anthem he looked around and was like " Im an NFL player, this is real"

-Carton Talked about Smitty being very supportive from the beginning in regards to Cam, and if Smitty tested him when they first talked/met cause he comes off as a hard personality. Cam said Smitty on the phone sounded like he was this 7 foot beast, but laughed that when they met he was very much 5'9. Said the guy is absolutely incredible and wants the ball on every play and makes it known. Said Smitty had 3 rules:

One on One " Im wide open ", Two-On One " I'm open ", Three-On One, " Just throw it up im Steve Smith man!" i was laughing when Cam was running through this part..

-Cam said the speed of the NFL is not a problem to him, its just getting used to the athleticism that some of the corners and safeties have. He said in college he could throw a questionable ball and the CB would most likely drop it, in the NFL they are almost WR's back there. He singled out Charles Woodson saying that Charles made him realize just how good these guys are, and how careful he has to be with the football. He went on to say that his number one goal for himself is to not turn the ball over as much, and the number one goal for the Panthers is to finish games. Said the Arizona and Packers games we were up big and we have to finish those games out.

-They finished with Carton asking him how it was to spend a day with Tom Brady shooting the under armor commercial, Cam said it was incredible and they talked a lot about being a winner. Cam said he tailors his game around Tom Brady and watches film on him. They laughed at how Boomer saw Cam at a youth camp thing when Cam was in 9th grade. They were both throwing the ball around and Cam told Boomer " Your pretty good man" to which Boomer replied, " Yea i played some ball in my day lol" Cam had no idea who he was at the time...

All around very funny interview, Cam was great and it was fun waking up in the NY tri-state area and seeing my great Panthers QB on TV. Great exposure for Cam as it is the #1 morning show in NYC and broadcast on the MSG ( Madison Square Garden ) network.

At the Very Very end when they said goodbye to Cam, Boomer says " Remember that smile Craig, cause that's the future face of the NFL for years to come" Cam put his hands together in a prayer like motion and just smiled with his eyes closed..

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      I think there's a ton of potential in that WR room. But they really are unproven right now. Hopefully they live up to the hype.

      Some...concerning UNC / Belichick news

      By Basbear · Posted

      My unbelievable pile is touching the moon now-a-days. Bill is ultra control freak if there was ever one in the NFL, he's the guy. He stayed off SM and hate hate hated the media..........(wow bill what did you do in 2024??!?!?!).  So this guy, 100% control freak, just gave away all his SM to a 24 year old?? He doesn't understand SM at all... This is the same level as 8 time SB winner coming to coach UNC, after all this NIL BS that drove out his other control freak coaching friends.  This time line is insane.
