My Sister's college roommate talked to her uncle who is a custodian at the Kansas City gym where JMac works out in the offseason. He said that Jeremy has good chromosomes, and that he always flings his dirty towels into the bin rather than just leave them around the locker room floor. Also, Mac always wipes down him machine after he is finished using it. Good guy. I'll post more insider stuff as it comes into the news room.

Walter hittin the hash pipe?

Yup. Undergrad was in psychology. That degree and 5 bucks will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks. Masters and doctorate in educational psychology. Now I'm an educational psychologist. Yay! I did minor in bong hits and chasing tail.

Schefter just said on ESPN that Maclin WILL be making his visit to Baltimore. Leaving Buffalo without a deal. FWIW

Blasphemy!

Who'ze this TJ Peterman feller I be'n heerin bouwt? Gu huh, ga huh, huh huh....

I'm so done with this team...

Red hot cast iron pan. Cover the steak with olive oil and season liberally with salt and pepper. Sear steak nicely on both sides. Turn heat down to about medium and add whole butter (about half a cup) and fresh rosemary. Baste steak with butter in pan for about 10 minutes. No grill...best steak ever.

Anybody that doesn't want to sign Jeremy Maclin sucks. I have used analytics to come to this conclusion.

As someone who is in the "bidness," I can say that there is a great deal of over-pathologizing in the medical and mental health community of "symptoms" or diagnostic criteria. Sloppy science. I see this, in particular, with ASD, ADHD and mood disorders. ...and then you see a 12 year old that is on a mood stabilizer, a stimulant, two anti-psychotics, and a sedative to sleep at night. Crazy business.

Ehh...I don't "hate" Gronk, but he does have a hint of doucheness to him. Not my favorite player/person, but I definitely enjoy watching him play football (when he's not playing Buffalo).

Going to Bobcats games was brutal. I think they had one good run when they made the playoffs as a 8 seed, and the place was packed. Otherwise, the place was empty. I've had more fun at funerals. They definitely can't support a NBA franchise.

They had 5 or 6 locations when I was working there. I primarily worked at the Mint Hill location, but would fill in at the Carmel Road, 7th Street, and University locations. Great pizza...bunch of guys from NYC/Long Island area owned the place. I think they have a few more locations now.

Oh, without a doubt. They are good. Expectations are high. Especially being their home opener...there will be a raucous group of Panthers fans. I wish I could come down for this one. I haven't been back to Charlotte since we moved away in 2010. I love that city. I used to bartend at Hawthornes on Carmel Road in Ballantyne. John Fox had a house on the golf course, and used to come in all the time and have a few beers at the bar while he was waiting for his pizza. Great guy. Very down to earth and funny. Great tipper. Muhsin Muhammad's kids used to attend the elementary school where I worked. He would come in all the time with other Panthers players for assemblies and other special events. I remember he came in with (IIRC) D'Angelo Williams for one assembly, and the two of them watched Tom and Jerry in the conference room across from my office while they were waiting to be announced. I thought that was pretty cool. He and his wife were very kind and generous people. Gave away 10$ Starbucks gift cards to every school employee (from custodian to principal) every Christmas that I was there.

Agreed. Panthers fans are the most fair weather fans I have ever been around. They lose a few games and the stadium is half empty in October. I went to a few games while I was living in Charlotte including the Bills game in 09. We found a small lot just a few blocks south of the stadium that was a pretty decent tailgate. It was about 50/50 panthers and bills fans and it was a good time. It's not Buffalo tailgating, not even close, but there are some good parties going on.

MAGA

What do you do for a living? Jeez...I'm in the wrong business. Although having choice IPA's stocked in the teacher's lounge fridge just might be inappropriate.

Anyone who is making a big deal out of covfefe is dumb. I don't care if David Duke, Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders or the Pope tweeted covfefe. It's still funny.

You are wrong. It's cool ranch. Everybody knows that...

I have one follow up question. Cool ranch or nacho cheese?

Obviously. But what is covfefe, boyst? You're better than this.

Truth. Wasabi!!

Your post needs an ominous soundtrack. Well done...

I'm pretty sure covfefe is a classic French preparation of duck. I've enjoyed duck covfefe at many a fine restaurant. Right?! I feel dirty.

Don't be silly. Next?
