Spotted Deangelo Williams At Victory Lane Karting


Recommended Posts

I decided today to be as good a day as any for my monthly trip to Victory Lane Indoor Karting for my self evaluated time-trial. Long story short, I walked in.. and there, in the lobby, sat Deangelo Williams and two other guys (I don't think either of them were players). I went about my business, trying not to be a homer.

After my first stint, Williams and his boys came out into the track area to try their hand at it. They jawed about with the workers for a few moments before strapping in. D-Will had the fast time of the bunch at a 47.8X. My fast lap rang in at a 45.2X for comparison and I'm 5'7 100lbs. Fast lap of the day is 43.XX. Fast lap for a league driver would be a 41.XX.

I only ran that one stint and then I was done. I go there to train and see where the weak points are in my body (I plan on running their league once up to snuff).

On my way out I shook his hand and wished him luck on the forthcoming season. He acknowledged in appreciation and said thank you.

It was a pretty good day.

I've never had the privilege to meet a panthers player before. Even if I did have an opportunity I'd keep my distance for the reason that I believe that they might not want to be bothered.

This was my thought as well. Some douche there asked for a picture.. A simple handshake I figured was harmless enough.

    • Also, just for clarity, is this thread meant for general discussion of Bryce Young, or discussion of General Bryce Young?  
    • The word I feel most comfortable using as a descriptor is "inconsistent". Haven't really seen anyone disagree with that. Consistency being one of the things I value most in a player, that makes me lean toward moving on. But he does still have both time and opportunity to prove otherwise. Mind you, having a streaky quarterback isn't exactly a new thing in Charlotte (you could argue it's been the norm). Delhomme was notorious for starting slow but finishing strong. He could sadly also find hos way into ruts that were difficult to crawl out of. Newton, on the other hand, was often known to start hot but fade late (the vast majority of the 2015 season followed that pattern) though it could be argued that was a team pattern as much as it was Cam's.  There are definitely some fans for whom this is always going to be a bridge too far. (or too short) Realistically, it's not impossible that he could still have a good career even with those issues. It's a damn sight more difficult, though. And arguably, less likely.
    • Oh, I did, and they weren't based in emotions either. Granted, characterizing them that way gives you an easy out to avoid responding to them. Similar tactic to dismissing the other guy's points with "nah, you didn't really watch the games" which saves you having to debate what he said. Strikes me as a kinda lazy way to go, but hey both elements are still back there if you feel up to trying later.
