Absolutely disgusted.

I bought my Tampa Bay tickets so long ago. 

I promised a great time. One who had never been to a game, the other a life long tampa bay fan (respect).

 

It started off as a great day. My friends and I met up to ride down to Charlotte, after having had a Hardees breakfast.

 

We reach Uptown Cabernet on Morehead, and pay 20 bucks to park.

"My friends, we are in for a great time."

 

Time comes. We move towards the stadium.

 

The congregation of Carolina fans, underneath a bridge, singing, Gregorian chant-like, of our victory.

 

I had forgotten, at the entrance, that I had a pocket knife in my coat pocket given to me by my father. I threw it away.

 

 

We go in. Fun is had. 

 

For my friend, he enjoyed the 6 points that Tampa had gotten. For me, it was watching, live, Cam Newton, run for 57 yards.

 

Half Time happens.

 

My friends and I move towards the innards of the stadium.

 

I had promised my Tampa friend a beer earlier, and had intent on full fulling it.

I go through a line that I had learned was cash only. No big deal.

 

I need a smoke. I ask the kind lady behind the concession stand, where the designated smoking area was ( Yeah I didn't read the ticket.)

 

I light up a half-time-didn't-smoke-since-downing-shitty-beer smoke.

After a few seconds of lighting my fateful smoke, I was asked by the concession stand "security" guy to put out my smoke, as the whole of BOA is non-smoking. My fault, I oblige. 

 

While putting out my smoke, I reflexively hit it one more time, which was enough for this security guy to say that I was not complying.

 

I was then, beyond my pleading of how insane this was, escorted out of the stadium, left to my own frustrated tears, and embarrassment. 

 

Huddlers, did I do something more wrong than unknowingly smoke in a smoke free facility, and did it facilitate me being escorted out

 

 

I had to let this out, It was an absolute frustration all day.

Have you been living under a rock the past 10 years? Its basically illegal to smoke anywhere, other than inside of your house, and for good reason. I actually don't even feel sorry for you.

 

 

That is fine. I do not agree with indoor smoking.

But I had not been to a game since I was 15, I did not know the rules.(which I understand to not be an excuse)

When I was told to put out the cigarette, I did it with no question.

 

I dont need you to be sorry for me, I truly don't care.

My annoyance is seeing someone else being kicked out for something as stupid as what i did.

did the concession lady tell you it was a non smoking facility? 

 

No, Infact, she told me to smoke where I did.

 

But still, i understand my not knowing is not an excuse. I just dont see how the unbelievable asshole personality that this guy sustained was equatable.

yeah, that sucks. It's always that last jab that gets you in trouble though. In this case, I think you could have done with out your last puff.

pretty much this. the last puff was your downfall. could easily had been taken as a "f*ck you" by the security guy.

No doubt, if I knew my last reflexive puff on a smoke would have caused this, then i would ofcourse not do so. 

I am just in a sour mood, I want to buy tickets to the jets game, but seriously, after what i went through with this asshole, I truley do not know if i want to go back.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Im gettin tickets regardless, im just still sour.

      D and D is the answer.

      For Bryce’s obvious shortcomings (bad pun), there is upside to his game. This isn’t being a homer or apologists, but I like to consider myself fair in criticism.  He’s far tougher than I ever thought he’d be. I really thought homie would have been broken in half by now. I don’t know how he’s not, but he’s not.  He is prone to turning the ball over early in games which digs a huge hole the team is not built to come back from, but dude DOES come up with crucial first down in crucial situations. It’s NEVER pretty, but he just kind of has the shining. He gets bailed out LOTS, and the team still loses games because of him, but he’s a bit of an enigma. He’s a turnover machine that is clutch in big moments.  He’s a smart/elusive cat. He kind of has to be with his limitations. His audibles are almost always correct and he understands coverages. I don’t see him getting fooled too frequently. His turnovers are almost never the ‘damnit Jake/Cam!’ brand we have been accustomed to. They are ALWAYS due to his size/strength limitations.  Strip sacks that shouldn’t be. Picks that happened because he just don’t got that NFL arm. He is still prone to panicking and the wheels can and do fall off at a much higher rate than his peers.  The team is winning on the backs of the defense, running game and special teams… but they’re winning, and unbelievably 1 game behind Tampa. As long as this is happening and Bryce doesn’t go full meltdown, Dave is going to keep him in. He is not getting pulled.

      Meow Mix podcast cancels plans to return after players tell them not to

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      This was a terrible podcast. A bunch of uninformed homers that had worse takes than the bottom 10% of the Huddle. I listened to a handful of podcasts this past offseason in search of new Panthers material since John Ellis doesn't do his pod anymore and The 4 Man Rush don't either. Immediately deleted it after the handful I listened to. Truly terrible.

      Why do people think Bryce Young won this game yesterday?

      By PappyMay · Posted

      The NFC South was so bad it sent a team with a losing record to the Playoffs that year. Wilks had players playing hard at the end but let’s not act like that was a good season. That season hurts even more now that we see in hindsight how good our QB situation was. We just didn’t know it.
