1997. 10 years old. Pops just bought a shiny new Playstation, and Madden 98. 

We load up our first head to head match. I was a little dipshit and knew nothing about Football, except the Patriots (I was raised in New England for 20 years.). fug that, I don't want to like what everyone else likes. 

Flipping through teams, spot a team with a badass color scheme and a cool logo.

Almost 20 years later and I have my Panthers man cave, and can still hear Pat Summerall saying "Biakabutuka" over and over again.

22 now. 2001, go with Dad to local gas station. I pick up a Bud Light NFL Season Preview packet thingy. (Born in LA), liked the Lakers, but no NFL team. 

"Damn, that team has a cool logo."

For the next few years, I'd follow every game on sh*tty dial-up internet through NFL gamecast. (Lived in Texas)

I remember that Rams playoff game. I was supposed to to be working the concession stand at the UNCC basketball game on Clay Aiken bobblehead night. Nobody was in the arena when Clay Aiken sang because everyone was in the lobby watching the panthers game on tv going crazy. I got so many free clay aiken bobbleheads that night to top it off and got on the news singing a clay aiken song all sexy like for the camera

1990ish, Raiders were in LA making 'Straight Outta Compton*'

*I guess

 

I'm still in a blue color city called San Lorenzo, that anyone outside of the Bay Area has never heard of. My blue collar dad is a die hard A's, Raiders and Warriors fan.

I'm still an A's and Warriors fan today.

In his household you don't root for the posh white collar SF teams. Panthers were announced in 91-93. I was 9-11. They had a prettier blue than Jags (again, I was 10 and have blue eyes) and were in same division as Niners.

 

I had the opportunity to root against the Niners with my dad with Raiders in LA.

 

Rest is history, seriously I repeat this story every playoffs, so fug it at this point. I don't fuging care...

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      How about just don't draft project players in the first round? How about especially when you have arguably the worst roster in the NFL(we did all those years in question)? You don't even have to dig into those player debates specifically. Just don't grasp at straws early in the draft.

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      By AU-panther · Posted

      I think there were 9, and since I haven't took time to watch each of them on each play individually Its impossible for me to say, which I doubt you have either.   It's not a stat driven grading system; it's a per play grading system.  Tommy Tremble making a great block to spring Rico for that 10-yard run might actually score higher on that play then Ricos run. The actual run might not be anything special; it might be a run that pretty much every back in the league would have made. Here again, I would guess, if you look at every RB in the league, he is towards the top in rushing grade for the year which is what most of us are seeing.  Whether you call that a 90/80/70, 50/40/30, A/B/C, Gold/Green/Red star, it doesn't really matter it's how he ranks relative to everybody else at his position.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By strato · Posted

      Well I will never knock a strong arm, in a vacuum, but it is a lot more than that to it.  Did we kill our roster building and our defense in particular to stick PJ out there?  No. We knew we sucked and he was really just a temporary thing too.  While with Bryce I see the up and down, mostly down, roller coaster on loop now in year three. It has been a Looooong time.    Back to strong arms, it is like having a powerful motor in a car. All the power in the world isn’t going to overcome a bad driver.   But at the same time, even a decent drive with a killer car will beat the best driver if you put him in a go kart   Exaggerating for effect, I know Bryce is not a go kart. Maybe closer to a 6 cylinder with not much displacement…..
