As suggested by Arsen, I'll make this into its own thread.

 

Basically, me and two friends decided to go a little nontraditional for Spring Break and hop on a plane down to Guatemala. None of us knew a lick of Spanish, but luckily one of their fathers had a contact down there who picked us up at the airport and drove us to this town in the mountains called Cuilapa.

 

We stayed at what was likely the nicest place in the area, as it had running water and WiFi in the lobby. About 20 minutes outside of Cuilapa in a little community called Los Chilitos, there was an American based organization paying some local masons to build a school. We hitched a ride out to Los Chilitos each day to help the builders construct the school.

 

Along the way, we met a lot of amazing people, especially the children of the village. I came to love the place and the kids in just a week, which is ridiculous considering I've always been pretty annoyed by kids. It's amazing how the language barrier disappears with young kids, because all they wanna do is play around and be happy.

 

I wanna plan a return trip for early summer, mainly because I already miss the location and the kids. Just playing around with them is the happiest I've been and most fun I've had in ages. I think it might've changed my early career outlook and instead of jumping into working for the government right out of school, I might wanna seek out work in an NGO or the Peace Corps or something beforehand.

 

I'm just gonna mass upload all of the pictures into a big gallery, and I definitely think they're worth the look, if for nothing else than for the ridiculously cute kids and the amazing scenery.

      Run Threat Rate -- is this good?

      Pretty typical it appears comparing to other teams.

      From Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/nutshellsportz.bsky.social/post/3mo3rkrcezs2e  A look at Run Threat Rate across the NFL Run Threat Rate is the percentage of plays where a team either runs the ball or uses play action. This compares each team’s rate when leading or tied versus when trailing to show how much they abandon the run when playing from behind.

      Ikem

      That's the current dilemma on both parties at the moment. If Ickey comes back too soon, he won't be 100% and his play will suffer. Leading to a potential decrease in his contract. If Ickey is unable to play and sits the entire 2026 season, his contract will still take the same hit since it tells all 32 team that he is not fully recovered. On the Panthers side, I'm sure they would want to keep Ickey if he is fully recovered but he is obviously in a contract year. They don't want to re-sign him to a massive deal since it be too risky and they know if Ickey is able to return to form.  Best case scenario, the Panthers wants to offer Ickey a 1-2 year heavily incentive based prove it deal. However, Ickey would most likely decline the offer and test the market as  another team can come in and offer Ickey a better deal if they are desperate enough for O-line help.
