My sister's been pretty aggravating. Now all of a sudden once we got 10-0, she starts posting stuff about us on FB. I asked her has she actually seen any of the games.. and she tells me no. I'm like... you don't deserve to rep us so openly, you don't know how many years of trash I've watched to enjoy this moment lol. But, it comes with the territory.

Zero Panther fans in my family.  In fact, they don't even watch football with the exception of my sister and Aunt, but that's just college ball, and they're bandwagon fans, too.  

 

We have a lot of family parties on Sundays and my folks get pissed when I'm in the other room by myself watching the Panthers game instead of being in the living room "socializing" with them.  They just don't understand.  

 

Safe to say, I don't have a whole lot in common with my family.

I've been a Panthers fan since I was like 7, or 8. My step father and I would play Madden on the PS1  with my uncle. The first year I started playing, I liked the Panthers (because of their colors, and they were new). That was the simple foundation of my die-hard fandom now.

My step-father has been a die-hard Broncos fan his whole life. We lived together in New England for about 20 years, before I recently moved to the Tampa Bay area this year. He's rooting for the Panthers as much as I'm rooting for the Broncos. The dream of finally having our Panthers / Broncos Superbowl is very much alive, and I very much have one bandwagon fan I can claim direct responsibility for.

LOL yes. 
I went home for thanksgiving (Raleigh, Nc) and suddenly everyone is all Panthers and excited for the Cowboys game. Some of the same people that would ask why I followed the Panthers so closely if they sucked... smh

Just will take some getting used to.

Not sure how I feel about this. But...the wife has taken to sitting in on Panther games with me. I have to give her some credit, because she has actually taken upon herself to learn some of the game. She can be so cute when she wants to be.

 

Although I have to say. She still hasn't gotten the fact that football is a contact sport. She still wants to know if knocking people down is legal? She just hasn't grasped the fact that the guy with the ball is in danger.

my manager is a huge bucs fan, but after about week seven he's suddenly a bucs fan who pulls for the local team when they're not playing the bucs.

this is how you build fanbases. steal the marginal fans and the fence-sitters and galvanize their asses

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
