It was pretty good, but they really went over the top to get people hating Jeff Daniel's character. Following the college "speech," it wasn't difficult to hate him after 5 minutes, but they kept pushing the issue for about another 30....

.... we get it, he's an a**hole, now can we move on and try to learn something about the other characters while continuing to drive the plot line? or will this be a new story every week?

Good 1st ep. Wasn't going to watch it but gave it a try and was pleasantly surprised.

The college scene was done fantasticly well and was the perfect way to make ppl like myself, who were pessimistic about watching it, to do so.

Interesting that they chose Katrina as the opening storyline and I'm wondering if this will be the main news story or if there will be others this season.

Given the foreshadowing, it seems that the show will have inhouse romance/tension between the main characters for better or worse, well see.

Anyways, this show is a bit different from what I usually watch, but I'm thoroughly looking forward to the rest of the season.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Icege · Posted

      I really appreciate Bill explaining his methodology here because that gives interested parties a chance to try and recreate the results themselves. I believe that it's safe to assume that despite emphasis being placed on WRs that Chuba Hubbard is one of the Panthers' top-5 weapons. Considering targets, yardage, receptions, etc... Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette are also on the list. Jalen Coker's success might have snuck him in there as well. I can't draw a conclusion on who #5 is though. I've narrowed it down to Diontae Johnson, David Moore, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and possibly Rico Dowdle if they're taking into account his production for the Cowboys in 2024.

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      Orlov Complaining About Time W/Hurricanes

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…
