Do you have a second team to root for?

I follow the Bengals from afar for my best friend's sake, but typically speaking they make me incredibly apathetic.  I pity the fanbase due to having Mike Brown as an owner, but beyond that...eh.

 

I liked Seattle in the Hasselbeck era, and while they're much closer to me than the Panthers, typically they also inspire severe apathy in me.  They won a SB for the first time in over 40 years...great...still don't care.  Don't hate them, don't like them, they simply are.

 

Pittsburgh and Dallas, on the other hand, could easily be remedied by a mushroom cloud and I wouldn't shed a tear.  It would be terribly unwise for me to ever go to a game where their fans are, because I really don't need the felony.

I think I'm going to start pulling for the Browns a little bit. 

 

Ohio is terrible but I kind of pity them.  Plus, I'd like to see Manziel do well to rub it in all the "haters'" faces.

 

(I'd also like to see LeBron go back to Cleveland fwiw)

Yea, but my 2nd fav team is WAAAAAAAAAY down the list from the Panthers. 

 

Im a Florida based sports fan, love the Hurricanes, Marlins and Magic. I root for the Dolphins when they aren't playing us.

 

So i'll pull for the Phins when I can, but the excitement towards them and anything they do is absolutely dwarfed by my Panther fandom. I keep up with the Panthers 365 days a year, me keeping up with the Dolphins goes as far as did they win or lose on Sunday.

I have two other teams that I follow and they are the Vikings and the Giants, neither of which seem to be very popular on the boards here.. Though whenever either of them play the Panthers I lose my fan status with them for the game. Panthers are my #1 team and I don't see that changing anytime in the future.

    • It goes deeper than that for me. When I started watching the Panthers as a kid I fell in love with Mark Fields’ story during that SB run. He wore #58. Then TD wore it and kept the tradition of the being the soul of the Panthers. The next time someone wears #58 I hope brings that same spirit 
    • T-Mac is a nickname, Tet is a shortening of Tetairoa. Like you said below... your name is Jonathan, I could see "Jonny" being considered a nickname, but Jon isn't a nickname, it's a shortening of Johnathan, see the difference? And if your mom named you Jonathan for it's biblical significance/meaning, because she was very religious, I think it would be different. T-Mac is Polynesian, so much in their culture has deeper meaning for them, particularly names.  So for his mom to feel this way, I highly doubt it's just because she likes the name Tetairoa and not Tet, it's much more likely than not to be because the name itself has a deeper meaning in their culture.   Particularly as T-Mac himself has often talked about how much his Polynesian heritage means to himself and his family. And no, I'm not saying all this because of how much he's my guy, if he was just "normal american" and his name was Jonathan and he didn't like fans calling him Jon, I'd probably just say tough poo.  It's that he's Polynesian and I know things like names have a much deeper meaning in their culture than they do in ours for the most part. For whatever it's worth, a quick google search.......
