Guess who gets to go to the Super Bowl this year?!


PanthersATL

Recommended Posts

Not me.

 

Nope, can't even watch the game on TV.  All because somebody (it couldn't have been me, no really it couldn't) decided to make non-refundable plans that night without even thinking about it being Super Bowl Sunday.

 

All we knew was "hey, it's like, every few Sundays in the winter - it will be fun!".  Signed up without thinking about the impact to the Panthers.

 

So I'll just ask you in advance -- if/when the Panthers make it to the Super Bowl, I'm going to be a few hours behind watching the game on the DVR later that night.  So please don't post anything about the game until after I'm done watching, mmmmkay?

 

TIA.

hmm............does stuff like this happened to you in the past???

 

Because you sir................... just gave us a SB win !!!!!

 

You know they are going to win now since you are screwed!

 

One more thing...........if you want to see a reply  without any prior knowledge of what happened.

 

I suggest hidden ear plugs.......eye blinders and a seeing eye dog if you go out that day.

Yeah, it's just the way the schedule worked out for this gathering. It's not like I said, "hey, let me plan something on Feb 2, weeeeeee!".   

 

And there's no way I can get out of it, regardless of who's playing in the SB.  dammitdammitdammit.    And the bitch of it is there's going to be some jag-bag who'll be checking their phone or something during the event and will proudly spoiler it for everyone.  "for those of you wondering, the score is 58-0 what a game!"   

 

Did I say jag-bag?  I meant ass-hat.

 

Don't be that guy.

I don't know what kind of plans you're making but they can be broken no matter what. I watched Panthers - NYG in 2006 dodging terrorists to get to the big tent in Baghdad so I'm sure you can do it too :)

 

If it were just me affected, no doubt -- plans would be changed in a heartbeat.

 

But there are others involved, and if I cancel then other people will be out some $$ that wouldn't make it fair to do to them.  So I'm committed and have to follow through.

 

DVRs are my friend.

I saw the title and thought, "oh hey, another d-bag boasting about going to a big game."

 

Then I read the thread, and kinda like OP. Good, honest guy, placing others before him. Much respect brotha. 

 

Granted, I can't imagine hanging out with males (I'm assuming some will be there) and not checking up on the Super Bowl. Or in that case, watching it, since I'm assuming you'll have a TV somewhere in the vicinity. 

 

If you're really gonna DVR then watch it later, and the Panthers are playing, without checking ESPN and whatnot. You sir, have some incredible self-discipline.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
