The Football armpit of the year is upon us.....

This is it folks.

This is the time of year that absolutely nothing in football happens. The best we can hope for is for julius to sign his tender, stewart get better, we sign some rooks, and no one else end up in jail....

So go out, BBQ, fish, play with your kids and enjoy your summer.

This is the calm before the storm! Get ready!

July is the worst when it comes to sports.

NFL-Offseason

NBA-Offseason

NHL-Offseason

MLB-All star break

No college sports... but it's funny to see ESPN try to grasp for stories. Remember Favre watch from last year?

July is the worst when it comes to a lot of other things as well. All the good movies are already out, TV is in reruns except for horrible reality shows, most outdoor events take place in June and August, and to top it all off what little sports media there is generally sucks (more than normal in some cases).

Do you consider NASCAR a sport....I dont think its a "sport" but can be entertaining...

I don't care for NASCAR, but if you don't think it's a sport and the drivers are athletes then you're not thinking. Think about driving 200 miles an hour for several hours surrounded by inches with other drivers trying to pass you and you trying to pass them. All of us have been up to 70 mph, now imagine 3X that speed with traffic closer than on the interstate. Imagine pissing or shitting your pants because of course you can't pull over for something so trivial as bodily functions. Oh, and don't forget to turn your air conditioner off while simulating...

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
