"Roger being Roger, I guess," Mitchell said. "To be honest, I think there is a little bit of a targeting system they have out. I think I'm one of the guys they'd been looking for, but I'm OK with that."

 

Mitchell said it was his fifth fine of the year, including the preseason, totaling close to $45,000. Asked where the fines went, Mitchell stared into a television camera and said, "Right in Roger's pocket. Right in his pocket. On camera, right in his pocket is where it's going."

 

I love it. Finally, a Carolina Panther player not afraid to say something to the press....

Get your checkbook ready, Mike.

he's an athletic and explosive tackler. sometimes that can be viewed as dirty, and in the case of mitchell, sometimes it is dirty. not always, though.

 

i wouldn't put him on the same level as a ryan clark, hines ward, or brandon merriweather, but some of his hits can be questioned. i think it's a more of a result of his nature as a physical, aggressive tackler rather than dirty intentions to hurt other players. merriweather is clearly a shithead, mitchell is not.

He will get another one for accusing Goodell of pocketing what goes to charity. But if his is fine with it I am too.

That money is not going to charity, at least the majority isn't. It gets rolled into Goodells paycheck and dispersed over the league so they can increase their ad revenue and make more money, but it absolutely is not going to charity. The fact they are so quick to fine players only proves they use the money for profit.

Ok, I'm not arguing either way. However they claim it does. That has been their official stance on it for a while. It would be a pretty big issue if they were saying one thing and doing another with something like that.

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)

      I think there's a ton of potential in that WR room. But they really are unproven right now. Hopefully they live up to the hype.
