Week 2: Bears at Panthers - 12 noon CT, FOX

[David]

Even though Ike is expected to have no impact on North Carolina weather (not even remnant rains) it may keep me from going to the game anyway. There's a real gas crisis in the area (many stations out of gas, others charging over $4 per gallon, a few reportedly even over $5), and if it sounds like that may continue I'm not sure I want to make a trip that's about three hours in each direction with that uncertainty. I'll be watching the news for reports tonight and will probably decide at the last minute tomorrow. If it were anybody other than the Bears (and maybe the Colts) playing at Carolina I would have already decided not to go and just write off the cost of the ticket (which is a sunk cost anyway).

 

 

It must be amazing to have this be out of the norm and the result of a crisis. :shock:

It's really the shortage that's more of a crisis than the price.

Seriously.

Just sayin, if those are the prices that are resulting from the shortage, it must be nice. :)

Tim meant the plane that skidded off Midway but that's actually a plane that skidded off the runway at Burbank Airport in 2000.

I'm getting very excited for the game. I want to see what Stewart in particular, but also Williams, can do against an elite run defense.

 

I'm going to try and be in this thread tomorrow, so I hope I don't tick all of you off. :D

 

Go Panthers!

Is there a free online listening option, or is our only choice to buy an NFL audio package?
