there's a lot of that and there's also a lot of transplants from the north, esp. depressed areas like where coal and steel used to be the big industries. when the jobs left, they moved to where the jobs were.

that doesn't bother me as much as the people born and raised that refuse to cheer the home team.

These are usually pissed off liberals who have never played sports or even pulled for any sports teams and get their panties all wadded up when $$$ is not directed towards the arts or teachers salaries.

When I moved here almost 30 years ago, I brought my Lions allegiance with me. So I can see how that could still be happening with other fans. They don't want to give up a life-time of rooting for a team just because they moved.

I gave up my Lions allegiance because I was here when the Panther's came into existence. Getting in on a team from inception was something not many fans get to experience. That, and I had met Mr. Richardson a few times before, which was a huge tipping point. Brand new team, kinda know the owner. Yeah, I'm a Panther fan.

The weird thing about it? My family back in Mich. didn't disown me. I guess cuz I am still a Lions fan, but I am a Panthers' fan first.

That said. If you are from this area, and still root for the Stealers, shame on you. Fug it if your parents like them. Fug it if your brother likes them. You are from here, root for the team from here.

i just talked to a guy yesterday who told me his dad had been a cowboys fan his whole life despite living here and when carolina got a team, he felt like switching teams would be a betrayal and that you aren't a real fan if you can just switch teams at the drop of a hat. i dislike the cowboys and their fans, but i can respect that.

flaunting that in our house, tho? not going to respect that.

STAUP with the liberals this or that crap no politics here please. I'm sick of it so many posters throwing politics and name calling. Liberals like sports too stop clinging to stereotypes.

Nah, man. fug that. It's not like your home state getting an NFL franchise is just "the drop of a hat." If this team ever moves due to lack of support, I will resent the losers like this dude the most.

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
