My pops and a possum

When Jones passed my old man took it pretty hard. Him and possum were close. Tragedy initially brought them together. Cold beer and picking guitars forged their friendship. I remember the stories of Jones and Willie getting drunk, putting sheets on and going to Charlie Pride's house to fug with him. Charlie would run out in a panic and they'd take off the sheets and have to run. Thought I'd post a few pics in honor of my dads friend, someone who he looked up to and found comfort in when all hope was lost.

Never listened to much George Jones but a buddy of mine did a whole set with his band in his honor. Gotta respect a guy that positively influenced a great amount of people. Really cool your Dad knew him, he was one of the lucky ones.

      Bleacher report not buying Panthers’ hype

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Well, everyone is a critic.  not much meat on the bone here in analysis but if the team needs motivation … lol   I have also heard a lot of talking head or two say that ‘Young is not in the same class as most of these teams and that in 12 of the 17 games he is the lesser QB   BR write up below  2025 record: 8-9 Last season, the Carolina Panthers made the playoffs for the first time since 2017. They won the division. Bryce Young made strides, throwing for 3,011 yards, 23 touchdowns and 11 interceptions with a 63.6 percent completion rate. Wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan won the 2025 Offensive Rookie of the Year award. In free agency, the Panthers signed edge-rusher Jaelan Phillips and linebacker Devin Lloyd to bolster their middling defense. Carolina can win with complementary football if the offense continues to trend in the right direction. In 2026, Carolina will play the AFC North and NFC North on a first-place schedule, which includes matchups against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles, Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos, and the Seattle Seahawks. The club will have a much tougher 17-game slate than it had last year, which may lead to regression. The Panthers aren't on the same level as the league's top teams. We'll see the gap between them and division-winning clubs from the previous season. 2026 projection: 6-11
