TLC was actually a really good channel about 15 years ago.

of course that was also back when the history channel was more than "rednecks do their jobs", "two dudes swindle antiques from hoarders", "aliens did that poo", and who could forget "bald guy pays a gambling addict 1/4 retail value for great grandpa's revolver". so, ancient history.

Wow... I guess maybe for some it's like watching a train wreck... you just can't turn away. But I can't do it... they crap (and pretty much all "reality" TV) irritates the poo out of me.

You have my sympathy SP... the worst thing I can say about my wife at the moment is that she's utterly obsessed with fantasy football, so she wants to watch NFL all the time and even let me pay extra for the Redzone channel... but this is pretty much the first time I've ever been able to turn something like that into a coup for me... usually it's stuff that I can't stand that she gets hooked up in and I have to deal with, so I feel your pain.

nope Jase, it's cheaper to keep her, plus she can be easily distracted...halloween is coming...thus the impending new tablescape representing all things halloween will soon be taking up all of her time.....

I'm lol'ing at this because it's so true... mine just did a 15 minute, non-stop expose' in the car last night about how she loves Halloween, explained her decorations for the house and her classroom and what she wanted to dress up as for school...

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
