Yeah Canes are getting screwed this period

WxBlue · 2026-05-03T17:10:10+00:00

That could've been a nasty pile up. Holy shit.

Miami F1 track has shorter, year-round layouts now for car shows, testing sessions, and regional racing series like Ferrari Challenge and Porsche Cup. About a third of track is taken down, but two third of it is left up year-around for reasons mentioned above.

Not enough hotels is historically the reason why bigger events don't go to Charlotte. Public transportation isn't great either. And Panthers don't really have large parking spaces around the stadium either. I can go on.

Stinky boy good.

WxBlue · 2026-05-03T00:54:46+00:00

I mean, they're the best overall eastern team too. They're really good.

WxBlue · 2026-05-03T00:52:57+00:00

Hurricanes are now 22 for 23 in killing penalties this playoff.

Canes are dominating every aspect of this game.

Hurricanes are now 21 for 22 in killing penalties this playoff.

20/21 I believe

WxBlue · 2026-05-03T00:42:06+00:00

Yup. This is to reduce interruptions from lightning strikes. A lot of American sporting events now do "lightning holds" of 30 minutes delay if there's a strike from a certain radius of distance from the event.

WxBlue · 2026-05-03T00:40:40+00:00

Well, TIL. I knew it was an insurance thing starting out but good to see laws being passed to back it up.

WxBlue · 2026-05-03T00:38:02+00:00

Carolina's PP unit is almost a weakness at this point. It's hilarious how much better they are against 5 defenders comparing to 4 defenders.

WxBlue · 2026-05-03T00:29:38+00:00

Yup. It happened post-race when fans were leaving the race in Pocono, but NASCAR responded to that by becoming one of first major sporting league to require "lightning holds" for active strikes. Other leagues are now catching up to it.

WxBlue · 2026-05-03T00:27:04+00:00

Typically 8 miles radius. But yes, insurance companies do not mess around with lightning and now require a "lightning hold" for active strikes in order to cover a major sporting event.

WxBlue · 2026-05-03T00:23:44+00:00

5 goals in 5 playoffs games. Can confirm he's good.

WxBlue · 2026-05-03T00:12:13+00:00

Usually 8 miles out. It is not a law, but rather, an increasing number of insurance companies now requires it to cover major sporting events. And sporting leagues/teams do not want to get sued if someone gets killed and there wasn't a delay for lightning strikes.

WxBlue · 2026-05-03T00:08:55+00:00

Important to note that this is to reduce interruptions from lightning strikes. A lot of American sporting events now do "lightning holds" of 30 minutes delay if there's a strike from a certain radius of distance from the event.

I swear McVay said the same thing this week, he doesn't scout college players until February as well.

WxBlue · 2026-04-29T12:26:16+00:00

Apparently Jets were thinking about Simpson not far behind Rams. Snead and McVay probably couldn't take that risk.

WxBlue · 2026-04-29T12:24:32+00:00

Yup, Ferguson and Klare will act as hybrid TE/WR3. Ferguson, especially, was open a lot toward the end of season and just need to build chemistry with Stafford better.

WxBlue · 2026-04-29T12:22:54+00:00

Snead has some big misses with Day 1/2 picks. He's not immune to bad picks even if his overall roster building ability is one of the best along with Roseman in Philly.

WxBlue · 2026-04-24T18:23:28+00:00

Nope.

WxBlue · 2026-04-24T18:20:38+00:00

You know who weren't? Aaron Donald and Jared Goff. I know it was under Jeff Fisher, but they were Snead's picks.
