Letter from Panthers' owner woos Oklahoma boy to NFL team
11920285-1416325917-640x360.jpg

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Carolina Panthers are out of the running for the Super Bowl, but they're No. 1 in the heart of an Oklahoma boy.

 

Media outlets report 12-year-old Cade Pope wrote all 32 NFL teams asking them why he should root for their team. He had once been a St. Louis Rams fan because of quarterback Sam Bradford, who played college ball at the University of Oklahoma. But his affection was up for grabs.

 

Out of the 32 letters, Cade got one response. Carolina Panthers founder and owner Jerry Richardson sent a handwritten note as well as a replica Panthers helmet signed by All-Pro linebacker Luke Kuechly (KEE--klee).

 

Richardson told Cade the team would make him proud and that he would love Kuechly, Cam Newton, Thomas Davis and Greg Olsen.

I read this elsewhere (http://abc11.com/sports/boy-writes-handwritten-letter-to-all-32-nfl-teams-but-only-one-team-responds/471797/), the kid says:

 

 

"If this is the only team that responds to me, I'm a Carolina Panthers fan," Cade told KWTV.

 

I say F that kid, like teams need to be bidding on his fandom.  Sounds like he's "evaluating our offer" and if no one else comes along he'll settle for the Panthers.

to be fair to the kid... no one has matched the Panthers' offer thus far...

Sounds like the kid may have hired a hard core agent to help him decide. :)

      Chad Reuter of NFL.com 4-round mock draft

      By Carolina Cajun · Posted

      If he is BPA, then yes. I am a believer in Dan at this point and hope that he doubles on his strat from last draft.  T-Mac wasnt the biggest need, but at a first round position, over-drafting for need is bad.  We had XL coming back (we didnt know he'd catch rabid Racoon Disease in the offseason and forget how to be even an acceptable WR), Thielen coming back (yes...old AF thielen was a 1k reciever) and Coker coming off a surprising season...if you asked RIGHT AT THIS SAME POINT LAST OFFSEASON if we should draft Defense or T-Mac where we were last year, I guarantee 70-80% would have said "WHY THE fug ARE WE TAKING A RECIEVER!?!?!".  We're getting close, but you build a winning roster by Drafting studs in the first round and depth after, and Studs dont come from "Well we needed a Long Snapper", they come from "I dont care if we don't need a Receiver, That dude is THE DUDE"

      I honestly don't care about NBA talent. Our last championship team was light on it. The team that went to the title game was light on it. I wanna win college games. I haven't watched a full NBA game in probably 15 years. I barely remember one and doners, whether their ours or elsewhere. It's one of the reasons why my hatred of duke has cooled. Their players don't hang around long enough for me to even know their names.

      Should hopefully pick up a half-game on the Sixers and Heat tonight. Also possibly the Hawks and Magic. 🐝🐝🐝
