Breweries are overrated. They reek of pretentiousness and I hate when a municipality uses them as some draw for tourism

even the cool places in Charlotte like the white water center push craft beer as their big thing nowadays
theres a legit alcoholism culture here. thats not a new observation i know ,people have been saying that for years now but yeah. its bad

[fatlever]

i dont get the impression that charlotte is any more or less safe than 10 yrs ago, granted i live in ballantyne past 6 yrs where crime is mostly vehicle break-ins. 100x safer than 80s/90s. all just depends on where you are though.

i dont drink, so the whole brewery thing is lost on me. i just wish charlotte had more interesting geography features. at least more walking nature type trails are popping up.

Charlotte homicides per year



though I'm biased, I spent most of my time in Charlotte working around N. Tryon/Dalton Ave area right where the mens shelter and food bank intersect (and more recently the tent city). im not exaggerating when I say I'd legit fear for my life walking around there.

I mean yeah if you spend most of your time hanging there you'll probably have a different perception of Charlotte

Just have to post a rapid reaction to Deshaun Watson choosing the Browns...whew. Panthers dodged a bullet there.

I’ve wanted the Saints to draft Desmond Ridder since before Christmas. When the Saints were said to be in the box seat for Watson, my Ridder dreams took a hit.

Now Watson is going to the Browns, I’m back to keeping everything crossed for Ridder - who I think can be similar to Watson…….without the off field red red flags, dividing the fan base and general perception of the team, giving up a bunch of draft picks and almost a quarter of a billion dollars in guaranteed money.

I like Ridder's size and athleticism. He makes the easy throws...look easy. Not all do (Cam, we're looking at you). The Saints need a bridge, but Ridder would do well down there in a year or two.

I hope the Panthers find a way to sign Duane Brown, trade down into the high teens and draft Malik Willis. They can swallow Darnold and (Foles? Dalton?) for a season and bring Willis up in 2024. And I think Darnold can still be good if he gets his head right.

Not sure where this goes, but this was such a fantastic moment

I'd like you guys to draft WIllis just so I would get to see him at least twice a year.

I'm skeptical of him a little, because of his college competition and how raw he is, but if he hits or even gets close to his ceiling he's going to be amazing.

Did you see any of his pro day? Kid is so powerful.

i think purple shirt guy needs to have his moment of reckoning in BFHOS voting.

Todd Fuller

Winner

I refuse to believe that this is an actual fact.

In my mind Todd Fuller didn't exist after 1998 or thereabout.

I mean, the funny to hear a woman talk about routes line is far from the garbage he was spouting on that podcast

I am currently listening to Breaking Benjamin. Something along those lines feels fitting
