As a change of pace from The Sky is Falling threads, heres a fun fact.  One of the biggest busts in Carolina draft history, and the worst 8th overall pick in NFL history, Tim Biakabutuka owns 3 Bojangles restaurants.  I guess JR was determined to make money off him one way or another.

Yeah. i think JR still owns some franchises but his capital group Falfurias capital sold Bojangles for a nice profit a couple years ago.

Umm no. JR isn't a part of Falfurias. Falfurious is a partnership capital group between two former BOA execs, neither of which are JR. JR was never the owner of the controlling interest in Bojangles. Falfurias sold their controlling interest to a Boston based company in 2011 and JR still holds his privately owned minority stake.

JR is/was a major investor and partner.

That may be but his stake in bojangles is privately held and wasn't a part of Falrurias' controlling interest. When Falfurias bought Bojangles, JR was part of the deal as a private minority investor in addition to whatever investment he had within the capital group.

      It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).

      Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️
