Just wondering if anyone else was familiar with him or his work? He has a new album coming out in October that he raised money for on Kickstarter as his project independent. I've been a huge fan since I first became aware of him from The Roots cover of his song "The Seed" (The Roots version being "The Seed 2.0").

I also knew he had came out with an independent album back around 2002 entitled "The Headphone Masterpiece," which was incredibly unique as he recorded it in his bedroom on a four-track cassette recorder IIRC. Very lo-fi, but very organic sound. I just don't know how he isn't any bigger than what he is... His lyrics are poignant, he can play the strings off of a guitar and is an excellent multi-instrumentalist, AND he reminds me a lot of Hendrix in some ways.

The amazing thing is, despite his non-major backing and mainstream coverage, he has carved out a nice little following from his live shows and from some forms of media picking up on his amazing music. For example, one of his songs was used in an Axe commercial a few years back and a few others have been featured in movie soundtracks. This upcoming album, "Landing On A Hundred," is coming out almost a full ten years after "The Headphone Masterpiece." It just shows you how jacked up the music/entertainment industry is now that guys like this aren't bigger than what they are.

Anyway, if you haven't heard his stuff, you should check it out... I was always a rap fan first but enjoyed all types of music, but now with three kids, I've seemed to mellow out more and more over the years, lol (although the iPod is still full of my hardcore stuff). But, the more I delved into Headphone Masterpiece, the more and more I liked it, and got it... It's been on heavy rotation lately again...

Thanks for baring with me and hopefully someone will enjoy it.

"Look Good In Leather" was the one featured in an Axe commercial...

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.

      If hypothetically, Ickey comes fully healthy, would he be willing to give up left tackle money for left guard money? In the Panthers case, moving Ickey LG or RT would be in our best interest and as it gives us our best starting offensive lineman combination. However, Im sure there's another team that would be desperate and willing to dish out top dollars for Ickey to have him come play left tackle for them. In that case, Ickey would just leave for that team instead.
