The people saying NASCAR is for rednecks are as narrow-minded and ignorant as the people saying soccer is for, idk, impoverished countries or fairies. Aside from Dale Jr., the teams being based here and history, NASCAR's more of a West Coast thing now than it is a Southern thing. Look at where the races are. Look where most of the drivers are from.

Good poo my brotha. Glad you enjoyed our wonderful city. I've traveled through Connecticut on my way to Cape Cod before. Don't remember much. Gas was kinda high, but there was a McDonald's that was pretty good somewhere (this sentence makes me sound like SCP). Pretty part of the country too.

I am so proud to be a Panther fan today. Biggest win in at least five years. Let's go for a winning record next. This win meant something to the Panthers players, coaches, staff, media, fans, and all of the Carolinas.

These guys sure do hate to win, don't they?

And it's plays like that that make sure the Panthers stay the Panthers

I'm thrilled. Proud of the Panthers for bouncing back so nicely and getting a much-needed win.

I'm so happy haha. We're waxing the Giants and Dale Jr. was leading at New Hampshire.

We're looking WAY too good. Unexpectedly good. I'm glad we're so strong right now, but unfortunately, it's a two-half game. I'm betting the ESPN.com headline will be "Book of Eli," "Manning guides impressive Giants comeback to avoid 0-3 start."

Carolina Browns

Picking No. 1 again.

So we're even worse. Haha.

4-0 in preseason Bad offense Terrible coaching Weak defense Lots of injuries Very tough schedule Underperforming key players The above describes the 2008 Detroit Lions. It also describes the 2013 Carolina Panthers.

I might drive to Pineville this weekend just for some damn wings now haha. Now that I don't live nearby, I get a dozen wings and have them there, then buy some to go and have them the next day. In my opinion, they're the best in Charlotte. I'm just proud others in this thread know of the greatness that is DD Peckers.

Man, I miss DD Peckers. I don't work in South Charlotte anymore so I don't really get many chances to go now.

Yep. Killington's was the first restaurant I went to when I moved here in 2011. I get their shrimp and grits when I go, but I'll give the wings a shot sometime.

Jack's Corner Tap in Cornelius, and Taste of Buffalo in Huntersville are both solid. Taste of Buffalo has better chicken strips than wings IMHO (had to put that bc the whole staff is from Buffalo IMHO)

DD Peckers is fantastic. Hot Honey BBQ wings with hot ranch, fries and celery on the side. Do it. Do it now.

Hope Bersin gets on the PS.

Grab a copy of your 2003 Sports Illustrated NFL preview, where the Panthers were picked last in the NFC South and bottom four in the conference Yeah, that turned out nicely

haha I like how he's posed like he's a QB in it.

LUUUUUUUUUUUUUKE edit:Gotta love the Panther-colored tie too. Nice touch, dude.

Just a little something I got back when I lived in Auburn...pays to have friends within the program. 2 2011 Panthers draft picks signed it, Cam and Ziemba

I pulled a 1/1 2007 Topps Platinum parallel of freaking Peter Warrick about 5 years ago. As far as Panthers players I have a Playoff Prestige quad jersey of Steve Smith/Chad Johnson/Reggie Wayne/Santana Moss, and a few other autos. I usually just go after players' base rookies, but I only buy a few packs a year now. Enough to get a Cam RC last year and a Clausen RC the year before, then I was done.
