I was at the Greenbriar in (by god) WV this weekend. My wife and I were in the casino getting ready to cash out when i noticed the person in front of me in the line was Mike Shanahan. Of course my wife was ecstatic(redskins fan) but he asked what our names where and I of course let him know I was a panthers fan. He said I should be real happy where the franchise was is headed ( and I am ) and stated that Cam changed the way he viewed quarter backs.

I then asked him if he thought he gave up too much to move up to pick RGII and that I thought he did. He paused and answered, "would you have gave that much up for Cam", i said "knowing what I know now yes but we didn't have to and nobody at the time even knew how well he would transition to the nfl". he replied "I think he handled that really well." he said he thought RGII had a lot of the same skill set as Cam and is excited." I then said " but two firsts and a second round pick?" He said "Well you have to have a franchise quarter back and I'm sure you understand that" (smart ass) He said "they did their home work and he thinks it will work out but if it didn't it would set their franchise back 10 years". I was cordial and shook his hand and wished him luck...

Anyway, just a tid bit of personal first hand information...

    • Especially with no other major sports in the area other than UNCW basketball and soccer. It's a good 2 1/2 hour drive just to catch a collegiate football game. If this new arena were built I would hope it also includes an Adult League - I would join up and time allowing would be more than happy to help coach some youth teams. 😄  
    • That was real fear in his eyes when the rope was being taken. My younger days, I had my best friend that happened to be black come over all the time. I had the nicest bulldog on the planet, my friend Damon was scared to death of him. His grandmother and daddy taught him to fear all dawgs and seen the same fear in his face and voice.    I think alllll young kids should take swimming lessons and not fear the water. Very thankful my parents did this, I no longer get in the ocean since its 50% sewage. But I enjoyed all the lakes, pools, and oceans I swam in.     
    • My personal opinion is the non-guaranteed contract is the main reason for NFL success. MLB and NBA players are on cruise control after their big contracts and it shows in the product.  NFL is each year you are fighting for your job. Same for the majority of the public.... You get lazy or try to coast after the 100+ million contract, your ass will be cut within 1-2 years. Then the next one will not even touch 100 million+. Besides a few NBA players like Kobe was coming for blood with a 300 million contract or 1 doll hair deal. Brandy Beal just reached a buyout where he was getting 110 million, many other cases..... I dare say his name for the hornets guy..... MLB sooo many times as well.    If the NFL starts fully guaranteeing all contracts, Id have a new hobby to fill the hours of entertainment NFL gave me.
