How are you viewing/listening to tonight's game?

Stepping out of my normal viewing routine (wearing basketball shorts while sitting on my couch with a cooler of beer) and prob gonna hit up a bar in the LKN area. 

 

I usually watch with one of my room mates but he's going to be dragging along his on again/off again girlfriend tonight and she is a fun vacuum. She'll drag us some where lame up here like TacoMac/Dirty Martini/Harveys to watch the game with her "friends" only to start whining about wanting to leave halfway through the 1Q.

i have to work tonight. my car broke down and i have a thousand-dollar repair bill for a burnt-out clutch, so there's no way i can afford to take the night off. i'll be bartending for a bunch of grade-school teachers here on an elementary education conference. this means every time i try to watch the game, a posse of large awkward women will beebop up to my bar, look at the menu for thirty minutes while i stand there, ask asinine questions like "does y'alls malibu rum taste like coconut" and "how icy are y'alls frozen margaritas" and then end up ordering a round of bud lights instead.

 

basically i am either going to miss large portions of this game or get fired for being a complete asshole bartender.

HA! Dude I'm dating a teacher and my mom is a retired teacher but I also bartended in a nice eatery in Charlotte while I was in college. There's generally a handful of types of people you don't want to wait on and teachers are usually one of them.

If you're in LKN you have to watch at the Rudder. Those guys are 100% true Panthers fans

    • Per Adam Schefter: https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1920523706624823739 Expected, but just want to rub it in here.
    • I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.
    • The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
