Must be some kind of cruel joke right?


LUUUUUKE

So, I'm with my wife and we go to Burlingtons. This is the equivalent of TJ Maxx/Rugged Warehouse/Ross/Marshall's in the South. Anyways, I walk in and directly to the athletic apparel section as always. I get back there and I'll be damned! I could have sworn I was at the Lambeau Field team store. You name it, it was there. Officially licensed gear galore. Polo's orig price $80 for $20. They had them in green/white/grey/yellow. Official Nike Jerseys deeply discounted, graphic tees with all kinds of different colors and logos. Official sideline gear, hoodies, rain jackets. Like I said you name it, and it was there. The more I looked, the more pissed off I got! I got so mad, that at one point I began laughing at my luck. No way in hell I could be lucky enough to go to a store like that chalked full of Panthers gear! Man I was pissed, and still am. I would have bought it all, my wife even said too bad it's not Carolina, you'd be set for life. This was legitimate gear too, not knockoff "cheap jersey" stuff. We're talking dri fit really nice stuff for chump change. I have zero relatives that are Packets fans. Too bad for that, I could have racked up on Christmas gifts for years. I'm so disappointed man. Like why can't I get lucky just once? I did do the honorable thing and post it on Craigslist for any Packers fan to see, so that they can get the deal.

Has this ever happened to anyone else? Still bumbed. I mean, there's nothing I can do about it, but this is one of those situations that will continue to piss me off everytime I buy Panthers gear for the foreseeable future. I'll think, if only that damned Burlington would have had Panthers stuff.

Misdelivery most likely. Once back in Charlotte at the Uptown Target, they had Iowa State gear instead of Tarheel gear. MAJOR discount on it. Not sure why they didn't send it back.

It's Iowa State - mayne the supplier didn't want it back.

    • It’s simple. Win and everyone in here will say the culture is good. Dear lord the amount of time spent on these posts is hysterical. We’ve seen the end of season swoons where you can tell the team had given up with many of the same leaders that took us to playoff seasons. When your OL is decimated by injuries, it’s amazing how fast culture turns. When you get on a tear like 2015, everyone’s having fun. You need the right people regardless, but they have to win.
    • The difference is about how much player input is allowed and encouraged in the decision making process. Top down teams tend to dictate to players how everything is handled. Disagreements are handled by the coach and players are expected to do what they are told regardless of what they think or feel.  Players are perceived as commodities to be used until we find better. In player led teams player input is encouraged and valued. Players and especially leaders are expected to settle their own disagreements and be accountable to the team but mostly to each other. Players are family to be appreciated and supported in their growth. Is the reality of football the same in both? Yeah there are limited positions, football is a business and winning is the bottom line. Coaches get final say and run the program because that is their job. But in player led teams they feel valued, appreciated, part of a larger whole. Most people who have worked at multiple jobs know exactly what I am talking about. When players try to run the show and don't value  coach input that isn't a player led team, that is a circus which we surely are familiar with in our past.
