Doing Illegal things of which your wife doesn't approve.


Happy Panther

Recommended Posts

My wife is the most law abiding citizen ever, Not a bad thing.

 

She will come to a full head jerking complete stop at any stop sign.

 

On the interstate she puts the cruise control on the speed limit not more not less.

 

She is however a wonderful woman and pretty hot and apparently hasn't realized that certain sexual acts are illegal in NC.

 

Anyway we were driving back from 12S which is 6.5 hours. I drive 4.5 and we switch in Durham. I walk around to the back and fix a Vodka rocks in a solo cup which is my vacation drink of choice. Spend the next couple having a cocktail and surfing the iPAd. Pretty happy clam.

 

Later she tells me it freaked her out that I had  an open container. No problem. But I wouldn't think twice about this. I'm a risk manager by trade. I've got it all planned out if we get pulled over. 

 

Similarly I 

 

1) Buy weed but its a misdemeanor for possession in NC with no chance of jail

2) Play online poker which is entirely not illegal but people think it is.

 

There is no moral objection to drinking/smoking/ or gambling whatsoever.

 

But if I suggested jaywalking in downtown CLT on an empty street she would object.

 

Anyone relate?

Don't even get me started on the seat belt laws... nothing says "Big Brother" more than seat belt laws.

 

My wife is the exact opposite when it comes to "illegal." We've been together 18 years and she's gotten more tickets in 3 of those years than I've gotten in 40 years of driving.... and she thinks I'm way too aggressive in the road. She just gets caught- I don't.

 

Go to a Panther game, she'll be one of those who find their way to the front row behind the bench... same with concerts.

 

We recently moved and were looking at houses... she tells me to pull into the driveway, get's out and starts looking through windows of people's homes... they're for sale, not vacant.... I tell her someone named George Zimmerman is going to shoot her and she laughs...

 

... and she is the GM/COO of a $6M/year business with a 6-figure salary... I do have to sometimes remind her she has no street smarts and is really a dumb fug at times.

    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
