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...

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
