New Orleans is On Notice!
October 16, 2008
I am Zod the Black, I come to you now at the turn of the tide.
I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories, Panthers fans. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and spilled beer the Bucs game was. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could Carolina go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass.
A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Panthers Fans, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going, because they were holding on to something.
The power of the enemy is growing. Peyton will use his puppet Drew Brees to destroy the hopes of us all. Reggie Bush has been unleashed. Peyton now turns to Carolina, the last free kingdom of men. His war on this team will come swiftly. He senses the Ring is close. The strength Delhomme is failing. In his heart, Jake begins to understand. The quest will claim his life. You know this. You have foreseen it. It is the risk we all took. In the gathering dark, the will of the Ring grows strong. It works hard now to find its way into the hands of Carolina. Men, who are so easily seduced by its power. The young captain of New Orleans has but to extend his arm, take the Ring for his own and the NFL will fall.
It is close now, so close to achieving its goal. For Peyton will have dominion over all teams in this conference, even unto the ending of the season. The time of the 3rd down completion is over. Do we leave Carolina to its fate? Do we let them stand alone?
Each day brings it closer to the bratwurst of the huddle tailgate. We must trust now in Delhomme. Everything depends now upon speed and upon the accuracy of his arm. Do not regret your decision to believe in him.
Delhomme must finish this task alone.
Panthers – 24
Saints – 10
