I remember the last heat wave a few years ago. I lived in an old house without an air conditioner and I was taken care of two babies under two years old. I would put rags in the freezer and rub them over our bodies to cool down all day. We had a bag of jolly ranchers in the kitchen and after a few days I went to get one but they were melted into one solid ball because of the heat.

Thermometer in my explorer said 118 around 3:40 this afternoon. That was after it had been sitting in a parking lot for a few hours. Once I started moving, it dropped to "only" 105.

In all honesty, I prefer 105 degrees over 85 with ridiculous humidity. I can handle heat. I can't handle that sticky feeling that sucks all the water out of your body.

Hot here too, but not as hot. Thankfully it gets cooler much sooner here. I always laugh at people from anywhere that gripe and complain during winter and say they can't WAIT for Summer. Really?! You like insane heat, sweating, and cancerous sun rays killing your face?

I prefer extreme cold to extreme heat due to the fact you can put on as many clothes as you want to get warm, but in the extreme heat you can be naked and still be suffering.

Man, I used to work outside all the time. I'd always hear people complain about the weather, being hot and all that. I'm used to the heat, what I hate is the bugs. I absolutely hate bugs so much. Give me all the heat in the world but keep the bugs away from me.

It got to 113 today, Tomorrow may be cooler, 108 I hear. I hope so.

We brought the kids up to Great Wolf Lodge in Concord for the weekend. This place isn't as bad as some others in here made it out to be. Lines aren't bad at all for the water slides. Food has been good. They have Sam Adams Summer on tap.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Clowney released

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
