NFL 2024-25 General Discussion

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a Carolina Panthers fan in our midst!

To be honest, I’m a Panthers fan, too, and have been since my wife, myself, and our 6-month-old daughter moved to Durham in 2000 so that she could attend Duke Medical School. And even though we had always planned to move back to Austin, we decided to stay in the Triangje. Wonderful place to live and raise a family.

Anyway, I’m glad to see the Panthers get a win. But honestly, their franchise is going to be really really bad for years to come. What can you do, you know? I’ll still root for them as my second-favorite behind the Dallas Cowboys.

BTW, I wonder if it irks Charlotte residents that their NFL team is not even named after their city. The only other franchise that is not named after their city is the New England Patriots. They used to be the Boston Patriots, bit changed their name to New England in 1971.

Arizona Cardinals, Minnesota Vikings, Tennessee Titans say hi.

The Jets play in New Jersey, so the team isn't even named for the state they play in.

And the Giants, who share a stadium with the Jets. Plus a few teams that don't actually play in the city they are named after, Like Steven's beloved Dallas Cowboys, plus the 49ers, Chargers, Rams and I might be missing some.

Hopefully the six month old doctor is better at geography (and grammar) than her dad (kidding).

Gosh, I have performed somewhat less than admirably thus far today. Maybe it’s because my wife woke me at 5:45 AM this morning (I had been sleeping so peacefully, too 😂) to ask where I had put her freshly-cleaned physician outfit so she would have something proper to wear while seeing patients today.

And that early wake-up was preceded by us staying up until 1:30 AM going over work-related issues, watching a stupid show called Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, chilling out in the hot tub (that’s an oxymoron if ever there were one, considering I keep the temperature at 104°), and hanging out with our daughter and her boyfriend, who are visiting from the great city of Manhattan.

P.S. Fire Mike McCarthy! 🔥

P.P.S. How ‘bout them Cowboys coming to Met Life Stadium to play the Giants in two days??!

Daniel Jones has the opportunity to put his stamp on the Cowboy franchise.

Yes and no. Officially you are right. But as a resident of Manhattan, I know many who pretend that the other four boroughs don't exist and everyone else there is just B&T (bridge and tunnel) folks who might as well live in Poughkeepsie.

Yeah. Before the game I was talking with a neighbor about how the Panthers have zero reason to even watch - not enough talent, suspect coaching, no depth, no QB, no draft pics, and a wildly inept front office.

But Daton stepped up and gave fans a reason to keep tuning in.

Was thinking the same. Maybe will tune in this week, hahah.

The Cowboys... Used to be my favorite team till I gave up on them back in the 2000s .. I know the plight of being a Cowboys fan too.

And the Washington Commanders who play in Maryland (and practice in Virginia) not in DC

To be fair, she was four and a half before she actually got her MD degree, so...
