So I take it the back to back awards means that we were most likely to never succeed against both the Niners and Patriots, but we did and won the award?  Never say never, the improbable can happen?

 

Now that we have shown what we are capable of, let us not win anymore of these "oh my gawsh, they actually won!!" accolades.

Same here. Skippy Clueless was the best you could do?

They debate everything. He is an excellent writer and I'm sure he would be able to talk you down to tears or anger. Simply because it's a show with two people debating, some views have to be controversial even if he doesn't agree with them.

The fact he is so controversial to you proves the point. The show is set up to encourage debate and if need be, infuriate some people. If you watch the show for what it is you will come to appreciate it. I'd find it hard to believe your knowledge of the sports world exceeds theirs.

You are exactly correct.....I used to work for ESPN and hot to watch many if the shows in person.

These segments are sort of scripted. They are told which side of the arguement they are to debate.

I do not watch the show but from the occasional video he does not seem like a great debater.  He seems, at least in my experience, to rely too often on straw men, filibustering, and the protection of the host because it is his show.  Apparantly he does not want to debate someone that has a problem with him unless they do it on his show (this is just what I have heard from others, as a non-viewer I could be misinformed here).  That strikes me as someone afriad to play a road game.

 

They should transport the Mute Button from Around the Horn to his show (and all shows for that matter) so that people can be allowed to make their poin without him shouting and interupting when ever he can.  In fact, political shows and debates would be much improved if that were to happen as well.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
