Well the Panthers are due to have at least a mediocre year after the quarterback fiasco from last season. T’was painful to watch one of the best recievers in the league trying to carry the whole team.
How old was Vinnie? 42, 43, 44…to dang old to play football.
Plus I think we lost the season opener last year to the “TEXANS”
Watched the Tal race - some nishe crashes.
How is it that those cars don’t flip when hit
sideways at 100, 120 + MPH. That one guy was
pushing the other sideways half-way around the track.
And it still didn’t flip. It’s like some alien
magnetic force holding them right-side-up.
Mulder and Scully
Nascar has done an excellent job with safety in the past 15 years or so, restrictor plates, roof flaps and such to keep from going air born (200 mph is booking)
You still get the occasional flip in the air.
My nephew took a spin around Charlotte Motor Speedway about 2 years ago 3laps @ 150mph, he said it wasn’t to bad until the driver took him on the highside of the track, he said that was scary!

Why they call it "football" anyway? They spend most of the time shoving it at someone else or throwing it over everybody's head so nobody can catch it! Oughta call it "I don't want it!" ball...
Soccer == "Football"... now that makes more sense. Still ain't worth a whole evening of my life watchin' somebody else do it though...

Because some foreigners introduced the game of football to us statesmen and one guy thought; "screw that! I'm gonna pick that sucker up and run with it!" Some one else said; "oh yeah?"! It would sound pretty stupid if you called it; "carry ball"
Ready DOWN, set, HUT HUT! Go Cowboys!
Go Redskins - 7 and 1 at the break (probably).
Jeez that guy Jacobs for NY - what a moose.

I have to admit the skins are looking good. Glad there back.

"But Harvard boys, experimenting, began running short distances with the ball before kicking. No other school would play Harvard that way.
Meanwhile at McGill in Montreal, there was a modified form of English rugby, allowing a man to grab the ball and race all the way to the goal line for a "touchdown". "
That was in 1874.

So now you know.
Man… tough crowd… tongue in cheek doesn’t go over well here does it?

"Just the facts maam, " Blame it on the Harvard boys!
