Before the ‘99 Rams, the 1985 Chicago Bears were the NFL’s fun benchmark. They featured Walter Payton, Refrigerator Perry, Jim McMahon, Mike Ditka and The Super Bowl Shuffle, a song released three months before the team actually won a title. Just imagine Cam Newton dropping a rap anthem right now about winning the Super Bowl. The heat generated from the takes would boil Earth’s oceans. But in 1985, the general reaction to the Bears video was: “Ha. That’s fun.” Maybe Ronald Reagan’s America really was a utopia after all.

We need the Panthers. They are the NFL’s best shot at beating the Patriots and our greatest hope for making the NFL fun again. If that’s not enough for you, consider that they’re playing the Cowboys this week on Thanksgiving. Cam Newton can humiliate Greg Hardy and Jerry Jones in front of the entire nation. If that’s not worth dancing over, then nothing is.

Are you a fan of fat guy touchdowns? The Panthers have Mike Tolbert. Enjoy the films of Sandy Bullock? The Panthers employ Michael Oher. Appreciate funny Twitter accounts or just anything that craps all over Dan Snyder? Then you should follow @Panthers. Want to watch a shutdown cornerback who isn’t completely overexposed? Check out Josh Norman. Like players who are active in the community? Carolina gives you Greg Olsen, Charles Tillman and Thomas Davis. (And Newton, too. Yes, it appears that post-TD dabbing doesn’t necessarily make a man rotten to his core.) Are you entertained by fun names? Carolina has a guy named Star and another called Fozzy. Entertained by fun names and have the sense of humor of an 11 year-old boy? Carolina’s practice squad features Cox and a Ball.

Hmmm... where have I read a lot of Cox jokes????  Let's see.... could it have been THE HUDDLE?!?!  LOL

As scott fowler said in his article recently, "these are the good old days".

Since its thanksgiving, we should all be thankful for what we have witnessed this year.

i saw an article where they dogged the poo out of writing rosemary

Nice article. Shame they didn't include Luke dressed as Cam for Halloween as another example, but oh well.

Edit: or Braylon dancing at Fan Fest.

God, this really has been a fun year.

We're living in the golden age of this franchise... we can all say we were here.

Some players dance after touchdowns, some players hand the ball directly to the ref. Neither one is wrong. Variety is the spice of life and all that, right? At least Cam Newton didn’t focus group test his post-TD celebration first like Russell Wilson likely would have for maximum branding. Yet there still remain people upset that Cam Newton “dabs.” He just played a game on Sunday against a team called the REDSKINS and Newton, the smiling guy on the undefeated team, is the big problem? It’s a remarkable world we live in.

That article is great.  This guy could be one of our weekly writers (would be 3rd though).  Worth reading the whole thing if you have not.

That is awesome.  This year has been incredible and there is more to come.  I have waited a long time for this.
