Well I guess I should start doing this again. I got caught up in the whole going to school and getting a degree and going to paris and doing drugs thing but now i guess i'll do this since I've got absolutely nothing else to do.
That reminds me, if you know of where I can work in nyc that doesn't involve flipping burgers or pouring coffee I'd love to know.
Anyhoo, I'll spare you a recap of the offseason and the Steve Smith beat down because I'm sure you're completely over it. I'll be liveblogging, i mean drinking, at the game tomorrow. I guess I'm going to list a few things I, personally, am going to be watching as our beloved Panthers go up against Jim Sorgi and a shit ton of bench warmers.
Just how bad can Jake Delhomme look?
- With his surgically repaired elbow, Steve Smith, and the return of his real favorite target in Muhsin Muhammad, the REAL question is just how many times can Jake overthrow the ball. Jake has an uncanny ability to either chuck the ball ten yards out of bounds or three hop it to wide open receivers in the flats. With his new elbow, we'll have to see how long it takes him to adjust and return to his normal levels of mediocrity.
Just how many of our major acquisitions can miss this game?
- It wouldn't be a Panthers season without spending a bunch of free agency money and draft picks on players who don't really care to see the field. This year it seems we really outdid ourselves, signing a WR who couldn't stay healthy enough to play badminton and drafting a running back that everyone knew wasn't ready to play.
Wanna know how serious this is?
- Ian Scott - out
- Charles Spencer - out
- Labrandon toefield - out
- Darwin Walker - out
- Johnathan Stewart - out
- DJ Hackett - out
Exactly how lame will the new Panthers on the sideline look like?
- A random panther fan from alaska took time away from cooking meth in his mom's trailer to harass Jerry Richardson into putting a couple of Panther heads on the field at some point. I'm not sure what he thinks this would accomplish but I'm certain the effort could have been spent much better, like by begging Jerry to never let his son touch the team, or to hire a competent coaching staff.
The question to me is just how much Jerry is going to blow off this hick from a former Russian colony. I'm hoping for as big a slap into his face as possible, like telling him the heads are unfortunately under the tarp or something like that.
How expensive will the beer be?
- Early vegas line is at 8.50 a beer. Keep in mind in Paris a bottle of wine that's 15% ABV costs less than a bottle of water, and yet here we are paying out the nose for what's essentially yellow water.
I'm sure some other things will happen but who fucking cares. Fox will probably run all of the plays he has to win a meaningless game because he cares about these things. Someone will most likely blow out their knee and Carolina's spiral into 6 wins will begin again.
Oh well, go Panthers!
