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.

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?

The Bills would entertain trade offers for any player, dummies.

So it's an alien language?

Is covfefe going to be on the menu at the next White House Correspondents Dinner? Interesting. I don't understand. But interesting. Yes, but how do you keep cats from urinating all over your covfefe?

I'll take a stab at it. Covfefe is the noise a journalist makes when you slam them onto a hard surface such as a marble floor.

Fish, string-a-beans, and homefries!

Time out for this TBD public service announcement. Sir, you are being trolled You're both right. TYPICALLY, teams don't trade away top talent before their rookie contract expires. Sometimes, however, there can be good reasons to do so and get as much in return as possible before they walk for nothing. Also, I'm not a huge fan of using the franchise tag. Especially if the player does not want to play here. I'm not saying this is the case with SW, but if it is, buh bye Sammy.

Spencers. That store was great.

They Lynch trade was a necessary move at the time. Agreed, however, that they better get a 1st (and change perhaps) if they pull the trigger on this one.

If they suspect that Watkins will not re-sign, and that they don't want to use the franchise tag on him next season, then why wouldn't they at least entertain the idea of trading him? Especially if team doctors feel that his play will continue to be hampered by the foot injury. That's just good business. If you had a beautiful Ferrari that you paid a lot for, but it had ongoing problems with the engine causing you to drive a '99 Dodge Stratus for weeks at a time, would you not think about selling it for a good price? What if said car, in about a year's time, was going to cost you a lot of money or you have to give it away to someone else? Sell it now?

I've tried this. Surprisingly not terrible.

Try to prevent my wife from killing my children, and maybe do some grilling. I mowed the lawn this morning.
