Interesting people, providing their favorite recommendations
Carolina is BACK!
Or at least until the season starts. We added an anchor to the offensive line with our first pick, and made a calculated play to get into the 3rd round to select a QB with a lot of upside. I can’t wait to scroll twitter throughout August getting Matt Corall training camp updates.
Interestingly, the Panthers seem to prioritize draft picks with athletic traits that are off the charts even for NFL standards. This was evident with the freakishly athletic linebacker, Brandon Smith PSU, we got in the 4th round.
Draft Grades for the NFC South: Carolina, Atlanta, New Orleans, Tampa Bay
Pro Football Focus: A , A, C+, B
NFL Network: A- ,B+, C+, A
Sports Illustrated: C, B-, C ,B-
USA Today: C, C-, B, C-
I take the above to mean that no one has any idea what they are talking about when it comes to draft grades but I am going to choose to believe that the Panthers had the best draft in the division. I am also choosing to believe that Ickey Ekwonu is going to be a 10 year starter and that CMC plays all 19 games this year.
Also, Cade Mays (Offensive lineman drafted in the 6th Round) - something tells me I’m going to like you a lot. Get that NIL money!

📺 TV Show or Movie
I love this show. I rarely watch TV, but I’m hooked. Sometimes I need to take a little break because I get so into the storyline. It seems so real to me, and discusses many problems that the west is actually facing- it just embellishes them quite a bit.
🛒 Consumer Product
I’ll be honest, I never pictured myself as a cowboy boot guy, but when I put them on it’s a huge boost of confidence. They are really comfortable, and they are fun to wear.
📞 Phone App or Digital Product
I’m always the one that shows up to the airport at the last possible second. The MyTSA app gives you airport security line wait times.
💪 Habit or Lifestyle Routine
I’ve been printing my calendar off of my iCal and I'm finding that I am much better at managing my days.
📝 Content
This podcast is wild to me. I love it. It is about El Chapo, the Mexican drug kingpin and Cartel leader. I learned things on this podcast that I never had any clue about. If you’re into true crime things, this is a great podcast.
🥉 Honorable Mention
This is a portable smoker. Great for throwing in the back of your SUV or Crossover on your way to a tailgate. I love this thing. Set it to 225° and cook anything by slathering anything with yellow mustard and then coating it with a rub made of this recipe. Spray liberally with apple juice once an hour. 1 Cup Coarse Ground Butchers Pepper 1/3 Cup Turbinado Sugar 1/3 Cup Kosher Salt 2 TSP Cayenne Pepper 2 TSP Garlic Salt. Try this with a pork butt, brisket, beef ribs, pork ribs, and my favorite— a Turkey breast!
🔌 The Plug
I’m really proud of my efforts with the US Youth Fly Fishing Team. It’s a 501c3, and we teach kids how to take their fly fishing skills to the next level. We have 15 kids on the team, from all over the country. 6 of them get to go to the World Championship. This year it is in Italy. I just returned from a pre-trip to see the water and get to know the kids a little better. We’re trying to win a Gold Medal at this year’s world championship.
Hot Sauces
There are three types of hot sauce people:
Zero tolerance and zero bottles at home
A bottle of Siracha and a bottle of Tabasco, that get used once a month
At least 6 different types at all times; the hotter the better; typically rotate in a new type each month; use hot sauce like kids use ketchup
I’ve always been type A but I was type one for most of my life, slowly became type two in college and have since evolved into full blown hot sauce degenerate. Here are a few that were recommended:
Wuju - perfect for breakfast tacos / burritos / sandwiches
Texas Pete - versatile - good for the #2’s
Cholua - versatile - good for the #2’s
Yellowbird Habenero - eggs/pizza
Siete Habernero - eggs/pizza
Chipotle Tabasco - Chipotle burritos
Lindo Habanero - tacos, fried food
Samyang Buldak - noodles, chicken
Blue Top Brand Lime Jalapeno - eggs, breakfast
TRUFF - pasta, pizza
Melinda’s Ghost Pepper Wing Sauce - trying this out this week, so far so good and recommended for #3’s. I like that it is in a squeeze bottle.
Going to try something different - are you in need of a recommendation? If so, shoot me an email so I can add it into next week’s newsletter.
🕶 I left my sunglasses in an Uber last week (RIP). Anyone have a ‘value’ sunglasses brand that they recommend? I have had the same travel brush for 10 years but have gone through 50 different pairs of sunglasses in the past 10 years….
