That's Josh's choice anyways. Nice article about his down and out days and his love of the movie Gladiator.

"It's like that 'Gladiator' ," he said. "Win the crowd and you win the day."

Norman loves the 2000 movie featuring Russell Crowe as Maximus Decimus Meridius in his journey from military leader to slave to gladiator who avenges the murders of his family and emperor.

Asked last season which actor Norman would pick to play his role in a movie, he picked Crowe. Asked about the tears Wednesday, Norman again referred to "Gladiator."

"Man gets thrown down and didn't see no way up, but he fought his way amongst the battlefields and the crowds screaming, 'Maximus! Maximus!'" Norman said. "Wow! He reached the pinnacle of his life. He reached it, and wow! Everyone begins to love him."

      Is J-Stew a team propagandist?

      He has said many times hes a diehard Panther fan. Being a former player he is going to be very pro player. I don't think its a conspiracy but just someone close to the individuals.

      OK, let me first say that I can't get any Twitter link to embed--using "X" or "Twitter" or whatever, and I'm tired of trying. Now, I must say that I see Panthers stuff in Facebook on occasion as I'm part of some group, but I see Panthers stuff even less on the cesspool that is now X, but as a follower of the official Panthers Twitter, stuff pops up on that feed too. I guess that I shouldn't be surprised that agents of the organization would be putting out tweets like this: He's not even trying to be objective. It stands to make sense though. In order to get better information, you have to go to national sources like Kurt Warner.  I'm not necessarily trying to pick on J-Stew, per se, but I can't take him seriously, as even some past Panthers players, like Greg Olsen for example, don't seem like they're just trying to cater to Panthers Nation, just saying hollow words to make everyone feel good.  I just wonder why here on the Carolina Huddle, there seems to be more objectivity, or at least more critical thinking and serious discussion than most other social media sources on the Panthers. It's interesting. There is a significant difference.  For all the changes and the seeming decline in popularity to whatever degree, the Carolina Huddle still has its place and plays a big part in overall Panthers fandom. We want to be happy, joyous and cheer for the Panthers, but we aren't necessarily trying to shoot sunshine up people's derrières either.
