CHARLOTTE – If not for the jerseys on their backs, you would have thought the Panthers rookie class was a bunch of energized camp counselors Thursday at Frazier Park.  All 16 of the Panthers' rookies, including the five draftees, joined about 100 kids from a Police Athletic League summer program for a Play 60 event in association with Heads Up Football.  The kids relished the opportunity to participate with the Panthers in various football activity stations, particularly the running back station, which was led by Kenjon Barner and Michael Zordich.

 

"The kids are definitely having a lot of fun," Zordich said, "but we are right up there with them."

 

"Oh, I definitely think me and Michael are having more fun than these kids right now," Barner laughed. "It's just a lot of fun to get out here, chase them around and have a good time with them."

 

This was the Panthers rookies' debut community event, and the importance of interacting with local youth resonated with the group.

"It's very important to give back," linebacker A.J. Klein said. "As a kid growing up, I never had something like this. This is really special for the kids, and to be able to come out here and teach the kids fundamentals and be able to give back in this way will make a big impact.

 

"It's special for me and everyone else that is out here."Added Zordich: "It's so important. You just think about when you were a little kid and how awesome it would have been to have fun with NFL players. You just put yourself in their shoes and do everything you can to make them smile."

 

When the fun-filled Play 60 event concluded, the rookies began departing for an offseason break with their first NFL training camp just weeks away. "We all came from different programs, different backgrounds, but everyone has jelled together really well," Klein said. "I think this is a great rookie class as far as talent and as far as personality. "I'm excited to see what happens when training camp gets here. I just can't wait. We are all excited to get back to work."

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
