Good for him if that is what he was actually able to get. We were at what, around $1.7M (if the figures about us being owed 60% or $1M if he left are right?).

The instrumentals on all three have been really, really good. Tons of contrasting styles between the three. Drums and piano on this new one were excellent. Spot on description on its simplicity.

I traveled internationally last month and it was needed. Everything was how it has been for a few years now. They did have the facial scans, but they still checked passports at the gates and customs. :dunno:

I'm betting we see some 4 WR sets this season. We almost have to with the lack of numbers at the TE position

I'm sure we will with the talent we have at WR, but we have plenty of depth at TE. Frazier & Howard have 1 & 2 locked down between the two of them, so at best Walker was going to be 3rd string. Then Davidson and Ghea as freshmen are both good players. Tate Johnson also moved over to TE this spring, probably more of a blocking role.

The elevated is very new. I'm trying to find a picture they posted on instagram, but it may have just been to their story. It is basically a deck that is over all of the concession areas and a little more towards the main building.

ETA: here is an Instagram video of the construction.

I have no idea how it will be compared to the normal area, since it is brand new. Hell, it may not even be open yet. The general floor is good though. Not really a bad area. Everywhere can see the stage very well.

Yep. There is an argument that can be made that he is the best run stopping DT in the league right now. Sucks he got injured for 2024, I think it would have been another monster year.

So, you're telling me that if you draft someone in the top 10 and within their first 4 years in the league, the reach a pro bowl, set an NFL record for tackles in a season, and are graded out as a top 5 player at their position in the league, that is disappointing?

Get the frick out of here :rotflmao:

Well, he played part of 1 game in 2024 before getting injured for the season. No need to be disengenuous about it. He had 3 sacks in 2 seasons really. His position in the Panther's defense also isn't one that is designed to generate a lot of sacks. Generally, your nose technique isn't your sack leader.

He had a good 2022 season and a very good 2023 season, earning pro bowl alternate and then eventually invited to the pro bowl when Donald was injured. He set a new NFL record for tackles made by a DT in 2023. I'd hardly call that disappointing.

They do a lot of things, so there are bits and pices I think a ton of different type of music fans can find to enjoy. Somewhat if Deftones and Tool with a litle Meshuggah were influenced more by hip hop/classic R&B than grunge.

Yea, emergence has been my favorite so far. Not a bad song, decent like mid-200's alt balad.

Defined benefit plans created massive liabilities for the businesses and far more expensive to do. Their models have largely been unsustainable for companies to do.
