I don't subscribe to any streaming service. All my entertainment is youtube and twitch.

All those streaming services add up to cost more than cable ever did.

Here I am still with cable and streaming service.

Crazy I only use cable for local news and the weekly sports games on ESPN/ABC/Fox.

When streaming first came out, piracy went down as you could get all your shows reasonably priced.

Now they’re spread out over so many services, piracy is going back up.

They are only interested in making money, hence so much derivative crap they like to churn out to try and force low risk $

What concerns me about the Panthers is Bryce is still pretty bad, and yet Rico is going to drag us to like 8 wins. We could easily end up as one of those "good team, bad QB" situations where we fall off significantly if Rico regresses. Would feel better if Bryce was putting up respectable numbers.

that actually encourages me. Being .500 or so with a QB that is absolute garbage tells me we have an actually quality team if we can find a good QB. Doesn't even need to be a franchise level QB, just not one that actively sucks

Yeah, but at the same time being good makes it more likely we'll keep Bryce. Could be a Giants Daniel Jones situation, they were good for a year then back in the gutter. Jones suddenly became very good when he left the Giants for some reason, so maybe it was more coaching issues. So who knows. All I know is Bryce needs to start putting up some numbers.

Game plan was to muddy up the game play defense and run the ball. Bryce still needs weapons. Legette is a disaster. He has McMillan and that’s about it other than obviously Rico. I implore them to reach out to Miami for a waddle trade.

Panthers will never be good with Bryce at the helm. That's just a non starter. They're going to be a super mediocre team and not be in any position to get a franchise QB.

Rico has been super fun to watch though and the defense continues to surprise with a linebacker corps that wouldn't start in the XFL

If anyone is in the Bluetooth speaker market id suggest getting the jbl charge 6. Just bought one today. Holy **** this is the best one ive ever had and ive had a few bose.

Ps. Target is also the best spot for throw pillows.if you lean to the side in the couch and need them for either side against the rest or to the opposite sidefor your arm, they cant be beat.

Lmao i just had a good day shopping lol. Trying to get the game room set up for the winter doldrums. Im leaving no stone unturned when it comes to comfort. So that includes pillows for me on the couch. Some of us are almost middle aged or older and might need input for things to keep comfortable and beat the seasonal depression before it starts. Daylight savings time just hit, the depression can settle in at any moment now.

I'm not one to judge. Anyone that knows me knows that I'm a diva when it comes to sleep and pillows. I sleep with three pillows and two white noise machines LOL. We've got at least 6 throw pillows on the couch and I always go horizontal on the couch so those pillows get a lot of use. I'm one of those people that shows up on vacation with a pillow I brought from home because I can't stand hotel pillows.

Just saw a video of lamelo talking about elections in North and South Carolina. Not picking one side or the other, but imagine taking election advice from melo. Grant Williams, or Colin Sexton would be the guys you would want for that add.

He just said "go vote". He's the most popular guy on the team, he's 100% the guy to be featured.
