A stoic Rivera on the sideline


Leeroy Jenkins PhD

Recommended Posts

I have backed Ron Rivera until approximately an hour ago. Watching him sit on the sideline emotionless, while his team gets molested by the refs in the final quarter of this game.......

Just makes me so angry. I want the coach of this team to show half the emotion I am sure the entire Panther nation was expressing! I am off the Rivera bandwagon.

Welcome. I got off 3 weeks ago. The guy has no clue. Sad part of it all is we are likely stuck with him for another season after this one.

What the hell happened from the end of last season to this season.

I can tell you exactly what is going to happen, though. We are going to start 2-8, then win 4 out of the last 6 and finish 6-10, and panthers pundits will say things are bright, looking forward to next year, strong finish etc. and everyone will keep their jobs.

What a joke. The Panthers are the 2004-2009 Bobcats. Horribly flawed but starts to try hard near the end of the season and finish with a winning record last couple of months, screw up their draft position and keep jobs. Then rinse and repeat. Its the worst position to be in in pro sports.

    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.  
    • Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.  
    • I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
