Jokes? People in here act like they've never lost a loved one. Hopefully you never have to experience it. Show some fuging class.

 

RIP. Condolences to his family.

 

I am still going through something I don't want to talk about, especially here...

 

What I have gone through for the last 4 years, you are right I hope nobody has to do it, but it will... to us all in all kinds of ways. so yeah, jokes. 

 

 

 

 

After a preacher died and went to heaven, he noticed a New York cab driver had been awarded a higher place than he.

 

"I don't understand," he complained to God. "I devoted my entire life to my congregation."

 

God explained to him, "Our policy here in heaven is to reward results. Now, was your congregation well attuned to you whenever you gave a sermon?"

 

"Well," the minister had to admit, "some in the congregation fell asleep from time to time."

 

"Exactly," said God, "and when people rode in this man's taxi, they not only stayed wake, they even prayed."

Is that from the actual accident?

Holy crap!

There's one I saw taken before the fire department arrived.

They weren't exagerrating when they described the wreck as "fiery." Not sure if it's from the real thing, though.

e: pretty sure the pic I saw was of the crash; background matches other photos and YouTube video

Sucks to see someone young (yeah, 40 is young to me nowadays) and successful who is actually doing something good for the world die, no matter what they do for a living.

 

Noteworthy that he dies doing charity work instead of overdosing like so many actors.

 

I have never even seen any of the f&f movies, but the fact that he was raising money for charity hits home for me.

 

RIP

I'm a pretty trusting person, generally speaking, but even I would think twice about letting someone drive my sportscar with me as a passenger, even if it was for charity. Most likely some star-struck guy who thought he could pull some F&F move or perhaps he fancied himself as the next Mario Andretti... wtf...

 

And for those of you who think the tree should give way when 2000 lbs worth of car hits it? Yeah, look at the tree- it's maybe 12" in diameter, not a big tree by any stretch...

The original movie is pretty good - among my top 5 for non-comedy movies. The rest, however, are completely meh, at best.

Tokyo Drift had a lot of potential, but is the worst of the franchise imo.

I think God just needed someone to drive his 1994 Honda Civic with Neons in Heaven. :'-(

Warning: the previous statement is highly insensitive and immature. Bc grown men crying over an actor they never met in a "racing car franchise" is very mature.

I never met him or was affected by him in any way..my apologies.

      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.
