I kind of joined in on Packman's deal during the 06 playoffs in NY....Flew up on my own and paid my way into the cocktail party/food the night before the game. I tried to drink my money's worth and did a pretty good job :D

I went on the Packman Trip to the Superbowl. Very good trip, very organized, a lot of stuff for us to do. There was a cocktail party at the Air and Space museum - supposed to have been a player appearance that got nixed because practice ran late that day and the player would have missed curfew - ok with me because I'd rather see them working that at a party. We also had tickets to the NFL Experience and a morning "tailgate party" the day of the game.

They provided rental cars for everyone on the trip and their one mistake was that that was the way they intended for everyone to get to the game due to the fact that many people would most likely be drinking - there was a brunch for us at Dave and Busters in Houston with alcohol included and people would have had to have gone to that themselves and then to the game and then back to the hotel in their cars. People complained though and they did manage to get charters to take everyone to the game - a pretty spectacular feat considering that every bus around was already booked. I know that it cost a lot of money for them to do this and they did it on their own dime.

Also I did pay to upgrade my tickets to lower level and they had told me where I'd be sitting. The morning we got our tickets, they told me that they had upgraded my tickets from what they originally promised me and it was indeed a wonderful upgrade. I was supposed to be in a corner and they were on the Patriot's sideline (they did have a block of 15 together). Mine ended up being goal line on the Panthers side in the players' family section - I actually had family members sitting behind me. Our section was almost exclusively panthers and it was one of the best game experiences of my life. Some people did still have tickets where I originallly was going to be and they said that outside of their block of 15, it was almost exclusively Patriots fans so I was thankful foor my upgrade. So iverall, I had a great experience and would go again with them in a heartbeat.

I loved the rental car part, but don't know if they'd do it again because of the complaints about transportation to the game. It was real nice to have a car to go anywhere we wanted - and I did remember to take my flags so it was fun having them on the car as well.

Overall, it was very organized and a great trip - outcome of the game - not so good - but I had such a once in a lifetime experience that I could get past it. I was glad to have found out about the trip - I don't listen to him myself, but someone on the board I was on at the time told me about it.

Damn, you got two feet? How'd it get that long?

Just try running as hard as you can in the opposite direction for 5 years. Eventually, it will create some slack. :D

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By Basbear · Posted

      You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Basbear · Posted

      THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
