"Nice Jacket"

So I was out on the town today. Wearing the same Panthers jacket I've had for the past 4 years. I wear it every day in the Fall/Winter. It's starting to get old and ratty and I asked my family for a new one for Christmas.

 

So I walk into Best Buy and I have three different employees comment "nice jacket". You would think I was wearing a Members Only Jacket. So I'm thinking to myself "self, did these guys learn a new marketing tactic from corporate". Did they do market research that determined 30% of customers respond favorably to compliments? So I got on with my day, hit the DRs office, same thing, secretary tells me I have a nice jacket. I hit the Sears...."nice jacket, can't wait for Sunday". All in all I think I racked up like 6 compliments for an old dingy Panthers jacket.

 

Is this what it's like to win in the NFL? Are Beers colder? Skies bluer? Jackets nicer? It's been so long since the common fan has wanted to admit they watch the Panthers but that has changed for at least this season. I for one welcome my fair weather fans to engage in Panther discourse.

      https://www.yahoo.com/sports/article/versatile-2nd-db-named-panthers-154026075.html Smith-Wade's ability to play corner, nickel and safety makes him valuable to a young defense trying to rebuild after finishing last in the NFL a year ago. "Chau took advantage of an opportunity,'' coach Dave Canales said. "He made tackles. He had an opportunity on an interception, and he made it.'' Our defense has got to come alive for us to have a chance of winning our Division!

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.
